And then Pete Hegseth came for the Mormons, and I didn't care because the Mormons voted for this exact shit

The five or six that get to mate with the queen in midair will fall to their death in drone glory. The rest get kicked out of the hive and starved in the fall.

Male bees die after mating. That's basically their life.

Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.

So of course the @NYTimes finds some reason to attack her.

They hate her because she shows what can be done.

@TrueFactsStated Miss us with this bullshit. He enlisted because he wanted to kill (his words) and USMC was hardly the only option for this privileged dirt bag. He's not a flawed candidate. He's a deeply flawed dishonest human being who has no business being a candidate in the first place.

They wanted a 3,600 bunker island to turn into a strategic military fortress and private pedophile haven for Trump, Kushner and the rest of the Epstein class.

it's fucking sick.

[Mindy Fischer Writer @mindys4Biden]

know how for more than 50yrs we were able to keep the screwworms & their flesh-eating larvae in check? Remember how Trump came in & cut all of the funding for monitoring & treatment programs? Well surprise now the screwworms are in So. TX threatening the $113B US cattle industry.

Why might someone (men get raped too) not block their rapist? Shall we pause from breaking rocks on our forehead and do some thinking, boys?

collecting evidence
waiting for a police investigation
co-parenting
working together
living together
financial dependence
fear of retaliation
trauma bonding
fawning
denial
shock
hoping to regain a sense of control
wanting an admission
wanting an apology
wanting closure
not believing it was rape at the time
being groomed
being manipulated
being frightened
losing work opportunities
scared of being called a liar/dramatic
scared of adultery/cheating accusations
not wanting to have to think about it
knowing that person has access to lawyers

I don’t really think it’s about me Karoline. I think it’s about the idea that we all have fallen down and that we all wish we could be a little kinder to each other. And we all hope for a little grace and understanding when we get honest with ourselves and the world. And we all have that friend or brother or parent or son that has fucked up but fought to get back on their feet. Or that may be you. Or it may be the one that lost the battle and we are mourning them every day- and asking why couldn’t he fight for himself. Whatever it is- it’s not about me. It’s about all of us. So I genuinely ask you to forget about me- and reach out to someone you love who is struggling and tell them you’ll fight alongside them if they will fight for themselves.

Hegseth is an insult to us as Europeans and to US heroes who helped us defeat Hitler. Also racist trash, but that’s a given.

BREAKING: D-DAY DISGRACE! Pentagon Pete shames our fallen WWII heroes at the Normandy ceremony by comparing migrant boats to the Allied invasion against the Nazis!

Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth delivered an incredibly disrespectful performance at today’s D-Day commemoration in Normandy, using the solemn event to push anti-immigrant rhetoric.

While standing on the hallowed beaches where Allied forces launched the largest invasion in history to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation, Hegseth said:

“Today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. In Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?”

OMG. D-Day was the moment American, British, Canadian and other Allied troops risked everything to storm those beaches and defeat fascism. A day when it really seemed the future of the world hung in the balance.

To cheapen the 82nd commemoration of that day with B.S. xenophobic political posturing about migration is just unconscionable.

On behalf of the handful of youthful heroes still with us at 100 years of age or more, we apologize on behalf of the American people.

At one of the most sacred and historic sites in the world, the Trumper Hegseth couldn’t even show some basic respect to the fallen by leaving politics the f*ck out of it for once.

Shame on you, Pete. Quiet, piggy.

If by American family, you mean a guy who was divorced by his first wife when he admitted to having multiple affairs, divorced by his second wife because he was having an affair, resulting in a child, with the Fox colleague who is now his third wife.

[Magdi Jacobs @magi_jay]

Saying they don't believe it happened is less harmful than downgrading the allegations to not qualifying as abuse. Non-belief is still very harmful, but not nearly as harmful as projecting to abuse victims that getting bruised or locked in a room is normal "toxicity."

The Freedom 250 Concert got canceled. Fighters are backing out. Celebrities are declining the invites. His name will be removed from the Kennedy Center. The $1776 slush fund is dead. Watching Trump's vanity projects crash and burn has been giving me life.
Fuck that loser.

Pope Leo XIV on war in Iran:
"I think this has already been made very clear: the notion of a just war no longer applies. The problem is that just war theory developed in centuries when no one could have imagined the weapons we have today or humanity's capacity for destruction."
