Telling a nigga who is a college professor that works for NASA who has a side hustle as an NBA Player that he “Thinks” he’s smart is crazy.

That nigga is very much as smart as he believes

Her name was Gisèle Halimi. Born in Tunisia in 1927 to a Jewish mother and Muslim father. Refused to eat as a child until her parents treated her the same as her brothers. She became a lawyer.
In 1960 Algeria was fighting for independence from France. The French military was using torture in its colonial prisons. Women were being assaulted, electrocuted and beaten in custody.
Nobody would defend them. Gisèle did. She stood in French courtrooms and forced the military to answer for what they had done. She made France look at itself. She won cases nobody thought were possible. Then she kept going.
She spent the next 40 years dismantling every French law that failed women. She fought for abortion rights when abortion was illegal. She argued that r*pe was not a minor offence when French courts treated it as one. She won both. She changed French law so many times the legal establishment stopped counting. When she died in 2020 France called her the most fearless lawyer in its history.

But who did they vote for? Over 3 million people 62 & older owe federal student loans, up from 1.8 million in 2018. Delinquency rates have skyrocketed, in some cases because they're on fixed incomes or have medical expenses.
Social Security, tax refunds & wages can be garnished.

wrong. covid is oncogenic, and almost everyone has been constantly reinfecting themselves and their children since 2020, so here we are.

When I worked at Home Depot, we had a protocol for Code Adam: a lost child. We stopped the exits and nobody left with a kid, and we searched the places where kids often turned up.
One day, a Code Adam was called. I went with a manager I knew to sweep the restrooms. I checked the ladies; empty. I joined him in the men's where he had found the kid. The kid was accompanied by an adult he did not know, who had changed the boy's clothes and was caught in the act of cutting the kid's hair...

Filming and documenting ICE activities and arrests is the most American thing you could do. The pinnacle of First Amendment protected action.

Covid hasn't changed the damage it does just because people stopped masking. If you wonder why so many young people are having heart attacks and strokes in the last 5 years it's not actually a mystery. The science is right there clear as day.

Imagine how positively our society would be affected—lower crime rates, higher employment, better education—if the average American had the opportunity to take off work for as long as they needed to receive professional mental health treatment and then come back to work

HR said remote workers must follow a strict 8 AM log-in policy or lose their work-from-home privileges.

The other day, this Gen Z coworker logged in at 8:15 AM because of a slow connection, so HR told him he had to make up the time on Saturday.

Today, he used a remote job site to find a new role with flexible hours, sent his resignation at 4 PM, and blocked the HR manager’s number.

Here are 12 websites that pay you daily:

"I want a TRADITIONAL wife who cooks, cleans, sews, tends the whole farm, homeschools with a classical curriculum so she'd better speak Greek, and knows how to raise a barn. I have no traditionally masculine skills and can't chop wood or do basic home repairs."

It’s rare that sitting gov members, even district ones, just come out and admit that the US uses intel communities to kill and usurp any efforts for genuine change and have for decades.

Like, we know. But it’s rare they admit to the bloodlust so blatantly.

These same childless uncles and aunts helped to raise your children.

Especially childless aunties.

There is a kind of casual psychopathy we allow married people and people with children get away with because we pretend these are special statuses.

These people are such users.

I'm always for being open about mental health, but important context is that Kean, as a state rep, voted against the New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act, which established 40 hours of sick leave for employees a year.

Kean just took *4 months* of paid sick leave.

My son was playing with a little girl.

She tried to climb up the slide like him, and she fell.

Him: You have an ouchy?

Her: Yeah

Him: Here, I'll kiss it and make it all better

Her: Okay

Him: No, you have to say it's okay for me to kiss it. It's safe touches, but you have to say yes.

🤦🏽‍♀️ Not my child trying to be a hard-working, single father who's restoring his community at 4 years old. 😂😂😂🤷🏽‍♀️❤️

Public opinion turned against Israel so we’re seeing a full court institutional coup. ID requirements for internet usage, merger of U.S. and Israeli military. The committee to protect journalists declaring that Lebanese and Palestinians no longer count as journalists etc
