it’s all funny haha “men wanna fuck other men” but what they actually want to say is that there should be a subgroup of women like prostitutes who hold no value or respect and exist to be passed around until a man wants a ‘respectable’ woman for marriage
IsraeIis poisoned Palestinian wells with typhoid bacteria in 1948 as part of ‘Operation Cast Thy Bread’, a biological warfare campaign to ethnically cleanse and prevent refugees from returning.
I have a cousin with down syndrome & by the time we were in our mid-20s she had been sexually assaulted or raped too many times to count. I just remember our mothers & aunts whispering, trying to figure out how to protect a person who makes an incredibly easy target for predators
1988. Entierro de un militante del IRA asesinado por la policía. La gente descubre a dos policías británicos infiltrados en el funeral. De nada sirven los tiros al aire. Terminaron los dos muertos y tirados en un vertedero cercano.
My mom had a medical abortion before my brother or I were born. The fetus had developed with most of its organs on the outside of the body. At the time, it would have survived hours or maybe days in complete agony. This is why abortion should be accessible.
Powerful piece, highly recommend reading. Democrats need people like Platner if they are going to come to terms with the true nature of our country, with what we have done to people at home and abroad, and pull together the coalition needed to heal and reshape it.
“A tiny minority of Americans (6%) ever serve in the military. Of these, only 40% of veterans have ever deployed to a combat zone. And of those deployed, only about 10% participated in actual ground combat. I am one of those, and so is Platner. His pathology: a combination of traumatic stress, substance abuse, impulsive decision-making in the past, and deep anger at the moral injury he sustained wearing the cloth of this nation, is something this country ought to consider when it sends its young men and women to war. The question before Maine is not whether Graham Platner is perfect. The question is whether the United States Senate, the state of Maine, and the country as a whole would benefit from having his voice in the room when decisions are made. The answer is yes…”
“A democracy that insists on perfection will eventually find itself represented only by people skilled at hiding their flaws.”
The US spent millions every year tracking and releasing sterile screwworm flies to keep the population controlled and prevent it spreading north of Central America, then Donald Trump and Elon Musk paid those people to resign under the DOGE efforts.
They did this.
I think a giant imperial military blob with an unwieldy and overfunded warfare state making catastrophic tactical decisions by misusing expensive equipment in unsuitable conditions is among the most believable things in that entire movie
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s business partners, the Alexander brothers, have been convicted on 19 counts of sex trafficking.
It’s odd how often sex offenders appear in the Trump family’s inner circle.
Fox News says Hasan Piker used a antisemitic trope by saying Israel advocacy groups pushed for his ban. And then in the following sentence details how said groups pushed for his ban.
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
