LGBTQ people pay taxes too. You don’t get to take their money through taxpayer funding and then discriminate against them.
If you don’t want to follow nondiscrimination rules, don’t take public money. You’re free to be as bigoted as you want on your own dime.
So not only did an ICE agent shoot an unarmed man in the back of a van and lie about it, they’ve detained three eyewitnesses and are pressuring them to self-deport so they don’t testify. This is horrifying shit.
STUBB: Finland and Sweden wouldn't become members of NATO were it not for Russia's attack on Ukraine. We wouldn't be ramping up our industry were it not for lessons we're learning from Ukraine. So, Europe needs to ramp up, Ukraine needs NATO, but NATO needs Ukraine just as much.
This kid deserves way more hype for this catch.
Home run ball coming in, chairs in the way, other guy blocking his view, and he just fully lays out and makes the diving grab.
As Jimmy Carter noted, gay people were around in the time of Jesus, if he had an issue, he would have said something about it, and he did not say a single word. What he does say a lot about, is the abuse of the Rich and powerful. Unsurprising that fake Christians ignore this
The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.
Nobody in the history of the WNBA has averaged 20+ points and 8+ assists per game over the span of one month.
Caitlin Clark is averaging that for the entire season.
That seems like a pretty compelling argument to me @DavidDTSS
My friend's dad worked at a manufacturing plant for 32 years.
Never missed a day. Perfect attendance.
Made $55,000 a year. Not rich. Not poor. Stable.
In 2008 the company laid off 5,000 people to boost stock prices.
He was one of them. At 58.
His pension? Gone. They said "restructuring."
His 401(k)? Lost $180,000 in the crash that same month.
He had to get a job at Home Depot at 59 making $16/hour.
His wife took a second job.
They sold their house. Moved to a smaller one.
He's 73 now. Still working. Can't afford to retire.
Meanwhile the CEO who laid him off got a $15 million golden parachute.
My friend watched his dad's life get destroyed so shareholders could see stock growth.
32 years of loyalty meant nothing.
One bad quarter and he was disposable.
That's the system. Work your whole life. Get nothing. Watch others get everything.
Mamdani: I want to open up 5 test markets to lower food prices in New York.
Fox News: That's communism!!
Trump: I want to open 25 gas stations to lower gas prices for some people.
Fox News: That's genius!!🤦♂️
What an odd way of saying, “nearly half of American adults under 30 do not earn enough to afford housing.”
This isn’t “financial savvy.”
It’s a sign that there are limits to how far people can be exploited for housing.
Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline
Shaq caught wind of this 7-foot-3 kid in Kemah, Texas who powered through the police academy only to fall one point short on the state exam. His whole dream of becoming an officer looked like it was slipping away right there.
Then Shaq jumped in and covered the guy’s living expenses for the next five months so he wouldn’t have to juggle a second job and could zero in on passing that test. Because of that extra push, Jordan Wilmore got back in, nailed it, and just got sworn in as a Kemah police officer.
