Not to mention the way the colors are repeated in the tablecloth. Very satisfying!

listen we may have lost our family business, made our kids miserable, had to live in a barn with goats and lost $50,000 to a local Russian slumlord, but at least we dont have to see gay people in public

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

RFK Should Grill the Pill Though the perceived benefits of birth control are loudly and publicly celebrated, its costs need to be fully exposed.

The American Mind, a Claremont publication, is coming for birth control, declaring in a new article by Scott Yenor that the birth control pill has had โ€œgrave consequences for our society...โ€ 10/20/25โ€ฆ 1/ americanmind.org/salvo/rfk-sh...

Intriguing plan that goes well beyond symbolism. "Trucks from the First Nation could soon be transporting food, furniture and even critical minerals south of the border along ancestral pathways once used to move buffalo hides and pemmican across the plainsโ€”without paying taxes or tariffs."

I've known Jay for decades; they're a great friend and a wonderful person. They're a federal employee who was just coming off unpaid medical leave when the government shutdown hit: they were making progress digging out of the hole but the sides of the hole are now capsizing, sigh.

I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are โ€œused to itโ€ but it is absolutely insane

I will say the current market feels a lot more like the telecom bubble than the dot-com bubble primarily in that it's a lot of phantom valuation based on things that feel like they should be legal but aren't because no one has thus far been stupid enough to do it.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers canโ€™t find them and theyโ€™ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Speech, occupational, and physical therapies cost insurers and therefore corporations a lot of money. Blaming Tylenol and naming a different drug as treatment will justify stripping insurance plans of more expensive therapies and effective forms of support.

This is infuriating. Yes, my son used to cry and get angry when he couldnโ€™t speak. But thanks to access to good therapists and good insurance, he started speaking full sentences at 5 and is now perfectly understandable, smart and funny.

This will only serve to stigmatize and reduce care for kids.

the Colorado school shooter from the same day that Charlie Kirk was killed posted himself holding his gun on Twitter / X where he followed multiple far right accounts

weird how you wouldn't call on Elon Musk too to testify at an online radicalization hearing

When you become a civil, sober politics knower like myself, you understand that by noticing a bad person is bad, you become even worse than them. And they become good

The reason you didn't see the same reaction from media and elected officials after Melissa Hortman was murdered is because she didn't have a nazi podcast

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Hungary banned pride and anything having to do with homosexuality. In response the country responded with the biggest pride protest in modern history. Orban is cooked. #3E

Musk is an example of a bigger problem in Felon47's circles. Why should we let corrupt white men addicted to power, money and drugs terrorize us and the whole world with their self-serving dark agenda? We need to remove them from power ASAP.

"view women as peers instead of property, and enjoy their company as equals" is the real, positive alternative.

even before my egg cracked this shit seemed pretty self-explanatory.

boys are only being told they're not enough by the manosphere. girls aren't calling guys "soyboys" en masse.
