Turns out, caring about people/giving a damn IS popular.

Helicopter parenting aided this attitude in kids I think. (And was fear-promoted to build that attitude). Anyway, my hot take for the year. ๐Ÿคฃ

And they did this while a lot of the writers/ thinkers/ etc from the North were joking about abandoning the south

And itโ€™s why Iโ€™m so very real about โ€œpunditsโ€ and โ€œmediaโ€

Because the Southern media covered this and we gotta get specific about why d this didnโ€™t spread

AI is a lack of consent machine

And this is just gross. This is disturbingly and utterly gross

And the number of people who are basically facilitating digital sexual coercion is disgusting

Yeah, I'm using a "seed" stitch which is alternating single crochet and chain stitches, offset on each row. So pretty basic.
It's growing on me. The multi-color yarn obscured the stitches at first but I think in a large piece it's gonna work.

Jordan Henry is an employee of the City of Los Angeles who made $115,976 in 2023. How is this acceptable conduct for a public employee? More info in alt-text.

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrantsโ€˜ dignity and religious liberty.

โ€œThey must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.โ€

Walmart and McDonaldโ€™s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year โ€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M โ€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

On August 7, according to the FBI, three men in black vests entered a New York restaurant
claiming to be ICE agents. Inside, they tied a worker's hands and pulled a garbage bag over the person's head. Another, believing the burglars' story, surrendered themselves, only to be kicked to the ground and tied up as the intruders robbed an ATM.

Republicans are currently starving millions of people in order to force Democrats to cooperate in cutting health care for millions of people.

We've gotten so inured to this shit. It's just monstrous, horrific behavior.

It's the exact same ideology embraced by the elite enslavers before the Civil War: some people are better than others, and have the right-- and maybe the duty-- to rule. It was the Mudsill Theory then, and it's the Mudsill Theory today, dress it up in whatever elegant language you may.

I see a lot of folks in Louisaโ€™s comments who apparently havenโ€™t experienced the whiplash of seeing people advocate for Gavin Newsom (when heโ€™s not even a candidate yet AND threw trans folks under the bus) but suddenly balk like a mule over voting for Zohran.

Itโ€™s not just party leaders folks.

Remember, gang, if youโ€™re yelling insults at ICE, stick to things that will be deeply humiliating if theyโ€™re read aloud in court. Consider โ€œYour parents only love you out of obligation, not because they like you,โ€ โ€œl bet you jerk off to the Teletubbiesโ€ and of course, the Yo Mama joke.

"pulling the party left" lol does the author of this piece exist in consensus reality with the rest of us? Since when did the entre Democratic Party move left after Sanders' presidential campaigns and the election of AOC??

All I could think about was how they were going to clean those wind instruments and "sweet Jeebus why torture yourself this way?" Nobody stopped! That told me they'd endured far worse during performance. Which is really sad...

We watched Democrats unseat Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush in real time.

They tried to unseat AOC but she really is the OG of using her social media to keeping her support strong.

We are not free until weโ€™re all free.

Letting this kind of rot take hold in cops is why we are standing here today.

This statement is true, and Steve also knows what Iโ€˜m about to say, so this is just additional commentary not a correction:

This is not new. Cops have been doing this for ages. Talk back to a cop and theyโ€™ll rough you up. They have been doing this and getting away with it for a very long time.
