Trump has doubled his net worth to over $5 billion in the last 6 months and handed himself a billion-dollar retrofitted jet courtesy of US taxpayers but hey, glad his $33k monthly paycheck was donated. Heroic stuff.

No one ever has the rights to a person’s body no matter what age. A 13 year old may not be able to give consent. I know when I was 13 - I would not have known what I was β€œconsenting” to.

I was a free-range child. I rode my bike everywhere. I had no duty save to be home in time for dinner.
I grew up in a mining town, with ore-loaded railcars winding through its middle and blasting caps often discarded on the ground.
These felony charges are insane. It was an accident.

Trump Just Released His Plan to Revoke Birthright Citizenship. It’s Worse Than Imagined. Try as it might, the government cannot cover up the horrors with bureaucratic legalese.

This is an important point

Because our government was supposedly not going to reflect the excess & exclusion of Old World royalty

It took four years for them to diagnose her multiple myeloma, repeatedly writing off her jaw pain, back pain, skin irritation, etc as anxiety and depression. It wasn’t until she went into kidney failure that they finally took her seriously. This is medical gaslighting.

Texas Republicans being more committed to cheating voters with a frankenstein map than to doing emergency legislation to fix the state's flood warning systems is pretty much all you need to know about them.

β€œIsrael is starving babies to death” is a sentence that should not exist. These images should not exist. This reality should not exist.

But it does, and it’s a violation of the most fundamental human taboo.

Please make sure the adults in your life know this is happening. It must be stopped.

@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."

We're only as strong as our weakest link. That's how we should be viewing our population. When we help each other, everyone benefits. It's evident in our families. When one of us is miserable, we all are. But if we work together sharing resources as needed, we're all happy and kind to one another.

You don't have to serve these guys. Not at your restaurant, gas station, or bakery. You can tell them to fuck off, they can go find another place to get something to eat. You can also forget to pick up their trash cans, skip their lawns, tell them to cut their own hair. Fuck these guys.

We hardly grow any cocoa beans in America, but it was American companies like Hershey's that, thanks to assembly lines and economic efficiency, put chocolate within the reach of nearly every human being on the planet.
