The Mississippi cop killed a baby because the management at Walmmart claimed A BABY was shoplifting a pack of diapers (bis mother had a receipt), and now they police have unleashed tear gas on community members protesting the execution of a baby.
This is America.
Just found out JD Vance only converted to Catholicism in 2019 when Peter Thiel told him to. World’s first 35 year old man to get groomed by a pedophile
At some point in mental illness you stop going “I’m so sorry it’s because of the depression/autism/adhd” and start going “I’m not well in the head. I do what I want. Stay out of my way” and this, ironically, will massively improve your day-to-day mental health
People making the point that this is about creeping authoritarianism aimed at adults, which it is, but the ongoing crusade for "parent's rights" e.g. to reaffirm that children are the property of their parents and deserve zero autonomy whatsoever is also a crucial aspect of this.
People online now love to do this thing where they list a whole bunch of trumped up horrible accusations and then at the end they sneak in the really petty thing they're actually mad about
The US used to constantly cry about North Korea being a propaganda state that's constantly issuing outlandish claims and crazy lies to the public only to end up doing this lmao

Her still being on this little press tour to grift for donations almost a year after Charlie’s death makes me believe the rumor that his parents got custody of the kids even more. It’s very telling that not a single one of his relatives have made a public appearance since his death. Not even his parents. They’re not going to the White House to meet Trump or hang out at MAGA events. They grieve in private like normal people while she’s soaked up every ounce of publicity that she can get. What an odd situation. Seems like his family wants to separate themselves from her.
