The reality is that a lot of these women probably started having children before they really understood how much things cost in the real world because they started having kids at the ages that people would be in college or getting their first full-time jobs
"June isn't pride month it's Men's Mental Health Awareness!!!"
ok then call a therapist instead of having an aneurysm over rainbow flags and celebrations that don't involve you?? literally nothing is stopping you??
Let's walk through what actually happened here, in order.
DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. DOGE cut USDA's animal disease control and prevention funding. That funding had supported more than 180 outbreak investigations in 22 countries and capacity-building in more than 160 laboratories. The screwworm monitoring and response program that watched the border for exactly this parasite - cut.
Then screwworm showed up in Texas cattle. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden administration, 17 months out of office.
Her specific words: "obviously not much had been done to push back."
The program that was supposed to push back existed. DOGE eliminated it in March 2025. Rollins has been Agriculture Secretary since February 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch.
Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south Texas are now dealing with a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated in this country in the 1960s - eradicated, specifically, using the sterile fly program her department defunded.
The flies existed. The program existed. The budget existed.
Until it didn't.

Ten years ago on June 12, 2016: the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
As a queer 16 yr old at the time, it was the first time I really felt the weight of my identity.
The 49 names of the lives lost that night will ride with me this week at Pocono. 🏳️🌈
BLUMENTHAL: Who won the 2020 election?
JUDGE TRAYNOR: This issue has become a question of political controversy. Justice Jackson--
BLUMENTHAL: It's 'political controversy' only because the president refuses to accept the results. I'm asking you as a matter of fact. Who won?
TRAYNOR: As Justice Jackson stated, it is not appropriate to engage in discussion regarding that
BLUMENTHAL: So you're going to use the same script that other nominees have used before this panel to avoid the question?
TRAYNOR: I think the precedent established by Justice Jackson ...
BLUMENTHAL: As a matter of fact, which presidential candidate got more votes in 2020?
TRAYNOR: As I stated before, this is an issue that Justice Jackson--
BLUMENTHAL: You're adopting a script that has been dictated to you by the White House
TLDR: a man was shouting slurs at her outside of her place of work, assaulterd her by shoving her down to the ground in a crosswalk, at which point she drew her gun (finger NOT on the trigger), and now she's facing up to 15 years. For defending herself.
BREAKING: After setting the Christian village of Taybeh on fire, Israeli settlers are now at the entrance of the Christian city of Bethlehem, throwing stones at cars — under the protection of the Israeli army.
Not sure why it's annoying, but I was surprised to learn that women's police uniforms have smaller pockets than men's police uniforms. Seems weird to me to make this gender distinction in what should be functional attire. Relevant link in the next post. 🧵
