This will not impact the cost of college, nor the starting salaries of any jobs. It will simply ensure that high schoolers from poorer families will have fewer options available to them, and kill enrollment for already struggling arts programs

Only in America can peacefully protesting get you arrested, but a seven-hour gang rape gets you a homework assignment. What the fuck are we doing?!

I read this tweet & thought "watch them ALL be for stalking women." So I clicked the link, began to read, & sure enough...

Pete Hegseth should have been fired 18 months ago when he shared sensitive military plans over Signal with his wife and the world.

Every day he remains Secretary of Defense is a fucking disgrace.

girls & women are constantly monitored in terms of their physical beings: literally, their reproductive organs.
boys & men, never.
laws restricting girls & women. no comparable laws restricting boys & men.
they can't even blame AI for this. misogyny has been forever.
so much in US life seems geared to shame girls & women--to make them self-conscious, having to explain, defend themselves. worst-case scenarios involve rape: having to prove even a violent rape wasn't "consensual."
in this case, school girls made to feel acutely self-conscious re. "menstrual cycles"--reduced to the physical, just a body or a statistic.

The folks who want flock cameras in your neighborhood, the folks who wanna read your emails without a warrant, the folks who say, “If you’re not doing anything wrong, why do you wanna hide it?” have withheld 3 million Epstein files and redacted the rest.

A 32+ hour workweek is barbaric.

I prefer the congressional schedule and benefits:
$174,000 a year for part time work, greatly reduced insurance costs, and a pension that vests after five years - no production requirements, plus insider knowledge.

The Iowa band fought back tears as they performed in honor of their bandmate Derek Phillips, who died last weekend after collapsing from the heat at the Iowa football game.
My heart breaks for him, his friends, and family. Powerful night. #Hawkeyes

Republicans are forcing women to carry non-viable pregnancies—and it is literally killing them.

Banning abortion was never about saving lives; it is about controlling women. We ALL need to speak with our voices and our votes to stop Republicans’ anti-woman crusade.

This was and IS your fault. Bring back inspectors, stop lying to everyone about food (the cost of it, the safety of it, the origin of it, what you eat) and your ridiculous nonsense about health, and we can talk. Until then we cannot trust that you give two shits about this.

NEW: Every week, a Philadelphia nun drives to the immigration court in Harlingen, Texas, to sit beside unaccompanied children, some as young as four, who face a deportation judge with no lawyer and no parent.

This week, an undocumented migrant who is facing imminent deportation called Sister Rose Kuhn his “angel.”

This comes as Catholics across the nation, inspired by Pope Leo XIV, are standing up to the White House’s immigration policies. https://t.co/yl40x0AOWb

I am a Kentucky tax payer and voter.

I have every right to know the status and health condition of @SenMcConnell.

He has been absent for nearly 3 months.

This is taxation without representation and is a violation of my rights as an American citizen.

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

When I was deployed, my Afghan interpreter saved my life and the lives of my troops during an operation in a remote location outside the wire.

My interpreter was able to let me know that the Taliban had gotten intelligence that we were in the village and would arrive any minute to kill or capture us.

Exactly 8 minutes after we left the village, the Taliban showed up to kill us. Had it not been for my Afghan interpreter, I would not be here today.

For years I wrote letters to get all of my interpreters here to the United States. We made a promise to our Afghan allies, people who risked their lives and their families lives everyday to help us, that if they worked with us we would protect them and get them to safety.

It is the most unpatriotic and dishonorable thing we could ever do to go back on that promise. Not only is it dishonorable, it is dangerous to our current military operation, as soldiers are actively deployed overseas right now with no ability or capability to offer safety to those who agree to work with the United States.
