What an absolutely despicable level of medical neglect this poor man suffered. This is the reality of these concentration camps and ICE will bring more of this to Marana and Surprise if those facilities open.

Wow, this is a STORY

Walgreens CEO describes drawback of anti-shoplifting strategy: ‘When you lock things up…you don’t sell as many of them’ | Fortune Walgreens' CEO talked about the flip side of investing in increased security on a recent earnings call.

This and Walgreens creating a fake shoplifting panic that they somehow then convinced themselves was real causing them to invest in massive security upgrades which didn't deter shoplifters but did deter customers from buying their merchandise...

and “the libs have the money” is something the business community knew until they talked themselves out of it in group chats! there’s a reason basically every commercial pre-2024 was a sanitized smiling multicultural rainbow capitalist tableau

wine moms are our strongest soldiers and also the engine of American consumption and you alienate them from your stores at your peril

just remarkable how much the executive class of this country misread a complete cultural shift into a tiny popular vote victory largely based on a backlash to inflation because of their own biases

I learned about the TomboyX brand of gender-affirming underwear when it was news that Target stocked them. It's unbelievable how efficiently they shredded all the goodwill they'd built with stuff like that. Anyway, buy directly from @tomboyx.com, they're great.

85% of those who hold side jobs do that work during the school year, not just over breaks, according to the new Gallup survey done in partnership with the Bipartisan Policy Center and the Walton Family Foundation.

America’s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by | CNN Business Ashley loves her day job teaching math, reading and science to fifth-graders in Washington. But like many other teachers, Ashley relies on a side hustle or two to get by.

The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.

The correct word for killing a lot of people, destroying a lot of things, spending a lot of resources, and ending up back where things started is "failure." Or if you'll allow two words, "avoidable disaster."

To be bluntly egotistical about it, at this point in my career, me contributing to most magazines in the market will be more of a benefit to them saleswise than to me payment-wise, so why would I choose to benefit a magazine that is undermining fellow writers, artists and other creatives (so: no)

DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime?

NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of

D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

I'd like to purchase some political risk insurance in case my country elects idiots to run the government.

I love seeing myself on numerous Anti-AI blocklists, its a badge of honor for the AI Slopists to hate me so much.

Dang, there ought to be a cabinet-level government department with a secretary whose job it is to take care of that

@lhyreece - dr says in 10 years time, humans will be able to live and work til the age of 120 [pic of woman holding her temples and one side is wrinkly and the other side is young (her face)] @reeceollld - I don't want to do that

I barely want to wake up tomorrow.

It seems even worse, because with the GLP-1s (which are great for some medical conditions), thinness is now about wealth instead of the “willpower” buzzwords of the 90s. Those were bad and damaging, this time we’re using it to reinforce class barriers, too.

America's housing and homelessness crisis is not a natural disaster.

It is the result of political decisions—about wages, zoning, public investment, tenant rights, and who the economy is built to serve.

As alarming as the official Point-in-Time numbers are, the reality is far worse.

Recent research suggests the true number of people experiencing homelessness in the U.S.—including those living in cars, hotel rooms, or doubled up with others—is at least *six times* higher than the official count.

Homelessness today isn't just the person sleeping outside a convenience store. It's often the cashier working inside.

It's people who prepare food, deliver packages, care for the sick & elderly—and at the end of the day return not to homes but to cars, shelters, tents, or extended-stay hotel rooms.

Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone

Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out.

It's arriving in a country once again waging war—a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness.

Let's take stock of where we are.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kids—or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kids—they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, “there would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

Way too many people don't get that christian dominionism is apocalyptic accelerationism VERY LITERALLY SEEKING to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world.

That is not hyperbole or misinterpretation or a joke.

And they have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power.

Why I think reproductive choice is a more accurate framing than the right to abortion because there are a lot of women people would much rather see never have children again.
