I truly don't understand how people cannot grasp that no one is excusing what Lindsay did. Two things can be true. What happened was horrifically tragic, AND she was mentally ill and repeatedly tried to get help. Acknowledging one does not take away from the other. Mental illness is a real thing. Acknowledging that does not take away from what happened. #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial
NEW: My inbox is now filled with messages from individuals who have family members on the USS Abraham Lincoln.
This note shows that they have no "workable toilets around us," service members are served "undercooked chicken," and they do not get mail regularly.
Navy has been functioning for what 150 years? And the US has been at war for 226 years of its existence. So the Navy should know how to manage feeding their people...they have before.
The question is, what did Hegseth do to fuck this up so bad that the Navy can't function properly?
I posted a photo of Pope Leo speaking to Leadership Conference of Women Religious. In 24 hrs it was viewed 33k times. I was appalled and saddened that it became fodder for misogynistic and hateful comments by people, including EWTN hosts, who style selves as faithful Catholics.
i have seen a lot of vile shit on the internet throughout my life but the shit i have read in the last few days regarding Lindsay Clancy has been uniquely and unprecedentedly and especially vile. void of any and all humanity. unconscionable.
Karoline Leavitt finally learned that no matter what you do for Donald Trump, no matter how loyal you are, no matter how much you prostrate yourself for him, lie for him, defend him… in the end he will put you on a plane to potentially be blown out of the sky. Because in the end that’s how little he thinks of you. It’s all about him. Always. And he doesn’t give two fucks about anybody else. Ever.
Your mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece... are reading your comments about Lindsay Clancy right now and deciding if youre someone they could ever feel safe telling the truth to when theyre struggling.

karoline leavitt will be remembered as the press secretary with a heart full of hate, lips full of filler and a mouth full of lies all while wearing a cross around her neck.
Just think about this for a moment: The entire country knows Trump won’t accept the results of the midterms if his party loses. He’ll scream “stolen” election if he loses. He’ll fuck with the results if he loses. He won’t concede, and he’ll pressure other Republicans to not concede if they lose. And every American knows he’ll do all of this. But not every American is outraged or even bothered by it.
How fucked up is that?
The women who support #LindsayClancy understand what it feels like to have your own mind turn against you. We’ve fought our way through dark places, clawed our way to the surface, and came out stronger on the other side.
To the women who are being ignorant, callous, and heartless: the unresolved trauma and mental health struggles behind some of these reactions are palpable. It takes far more courage to sit there and say, “I’m having dark, terrifying thoughts, I’m scared and I need help,” — which Lindsay reportedly did multiple times, to multiple people — than it does to sit behind a screen and judge someone whose experience you have never remotely lived through.
You don’t have to excuse what happened to understand that severe mental illness can distort a person’s thoughts, perception, and behavior. Empathy is not endorsement. Understanding is not forgiveness. And compassion does not erase accountability.
