Out of ten men, one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent. None of them speak up. Later, nine of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective, the laughter, the silence, the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say"most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harasses women, but that most men help protect the system that does.
Conservatives suddenly being anti-gun so they can side with a tyrannical government should confirm they don’t actually stand for anything.
They’re just contrarians who side with whatever is the most evil
If the Second Amendment does not apply to this exact kind of moment, what do people think it is for?
A citizen can lawfully carry, see masked federal agents beating someone in public, move toward the scene to help, and then get erased with a hail of bullets because “he had a gun.”
That excuse is an insult in a country where possession is legal by design, where the whole point is that the public never becomes a disarmed audience watching state power operate with impunity.
I’m not interested in arguing frame-by-frame footage. I’m interested in the principle that a free people cannot accept a standard where lawful carry becomes a death sentence the second authority feels threatened.
If that is the standard, then the 2nd Amendment has been reduced to a vibe. The founders did not write it so Republicans could do militia cosplay on weekends.
BREAKING: A video has leaked from an immigration detention center believed to be at 31 Hopkins Plaza, in Baltimore Maryland where legal immigrants are not even allowed to bath for over 10 days.
The person speaking Spanish is saying the following:
"Look at how they have us here. Look at how immigration is treating us. There are people here who are legal, there are people who are not legal, there are people who are losing their families. They are kidnapping us. They have us in a warehouse here in Baltimore. They beat us, they beat an older man. We can’t take it anymore. They have kept us here for more than 10 days without bathing and enduring hunger.”
Yeah wrap it up. ICE shit., the tariffs on everything, the whole Greenland shtick, going against allies, the ballroom, redacting the Epstein Files, this Administration, etc. Wrap it all up. Done with it.
Worst Presidency in history, it ain’t even close, & we’re barely a year in.
Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse whose life was devoted to keeping other people alive. He was killed by the state, shot by a federal agent. Public reporting and video footage make clear this was not a split-second mistake. It was state violence, plain and deliberate, carried out by armed agents who treat civilian life as expendable.
The hypocrisy is grotesque: the same forces that endlessly glorify lawful gun ownership are now racing to smear this man as a danger, rewriting legality as a threat the moment it becomes convenient to justify killing him. Young people in this country are exhausted by gun violence being treated as unavoidable, whether it comes from a civilian with a gun or from state-sanctioned agents acting with impunity.
Violence does not become acceptable because the shooter wears a badge. Alex Pretti was killed in the street. That demands answers and accountability, not excuses and not acceptance.
