Oh he seems like a totally normal guy

Wild that it's just common knowledge that he did this, and not only is he not going to prison, nobody will even attempt to undo the damage he's caused

Jesus tapdancing Christ "The reason state troopers are being summoned to arrest the homeless, a WSMV4 Investigation found, is that they are working for a proprietary security organization in which the troopers are paid with private dollars by a downtown Nashville business organization."

It's like people forget the GOP came out in force telling people to risk death to work during the pandemic and talking about how their elders were happy to die for the economy

NEW—Rubio issues State Dept. cable instructing enhanced social media vetting for ALL people (students, faculty, etc) seeking travel visas to Harvard under guise of “antisemitism.” All social media profiles must be public, otherwise seen “as an effort to evade or hide certain activity.” Full cable:

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

I understand the term "consensual sex work," but I hate it. I've worked a lot of jobs, but I've never been called a consensual factory worker or a consensual customer service rep before. I've never known another field that starts with the assumption that you're trafficked.

If you legitimately want to reduce the amount of people in the sex trade, then focus on providing services that allow them to exit. If you aren't advocating for affordable housing, affordable daycare, job training, jobs with living wages, healthcare You aren't actually serious

To say that someone is a sex WORKER is to say that they have agency in their behavior. So unless you’re involved in a direct debate with someone who doesn’t understand this, there’s no need to proactively modify it

Rain & sleep go hand in hand

The Ten Commandments are now required in Texas classrooms. Finally, kids can officially read “Thou shalt not kill” right before active shooter drills.

My kingdom for a news outlet that tell uses the word 'lied' in a headline "Kennedy's wide-ranging "Make America Healthy Again" report cited hundreds of studies, but a closer found that some of those studies did not actually exist" These aren't problems. They are LIES www.npr.org/2025/05/29/n...

I WANT TO KNOW LESS

“.. raising questions over whether [Trump] might compile a master list of personal information on Americans that could give him untold surveillance power.” @nytimes.com $PLTR www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

This is what concerns me Should anyone who donated to a gofundme expect a knock on their door from feds? If so how csn we protect them? Because as I've already said- Its terrifying if someone can face charges for donating to a gofundme and it goes far past donating to Palestinians

All im saying is they could do better with this premise. 1 corrupt cop vs 20 people he had wrongfully accused, but plot twist, everyone has qualified immunity 1 Healthcare ceo vs. 20 kids who had parents die from lack of coverage 1 slumlord vs. 20 tenants Anyways, yall get the idea.

My friend is in charge of the team that wrote the climate change adaptation plan for Switzerland and this is one of the things they expected.

Okay, this is the 4th or 5th time I've seen the term "war fighter" in the last few days, and I do not like it

🚨Oh my god. Someone at DHS believed this was a real letter—and not the obvious fake that it reportedly is. The person who’s accused of sending it is apparently in jail awaiting trial for ROBBING Mr. Reyes. He was trying to get his VICTIM deported before the trial. And DHS may be doing it for him!

Narrator's Voice: Joe Biden, indeed, had done this.

Two members of the NYPD, including a detective in Mayor Eric Adams's security detail, have been placed on modified duty this week after links surfaced to two crypto businessmen charged with kidnapping an Italian tourist earlier this month, sources closes to the case tell News 4.

ICE detained an entire family in Denver s immigration court today. www.9news.com/article/news...

But hey as long as she wasn't speeding, amirite??? Yall are clowns if you can't see allowing a surveillance state has terrible repercussions www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

Good Lord

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

More dispatches from the OneTaste trial 😁

Homeland Security & ICE have long been involved in local sex work stings, which is messed up enough on its own but takes on an extra sinister note in this immigration climate. Especially when authorities release a chart of mugshots noting which arrestees are undocumented reason.com/2025/05/21/i...

worth noting.

Can y’all block this account who decided to put dick emojis under my baby’s picture. Yes I’m deleting her post almost got too comfortable

Louisiana residents were warning their neighbors about polluted air—now the state could fine them $1M for doing it

Scamming is his life blood

If you say stupid shit like this, im blocking you. Eating eggs is nothing even remotely similar to denying trans people their rights. If your argument is that someone deserves to die for drinking milk, you're literally too stupid for me to interact with

So what im hearing is that i need to start branding myself as a workplace communications consultant now, so when these people inevitably flop at their jobs, I can make easy money by teaching classes about how to write basic emails and explain proper decorum for conference calls

Breaking News: A woman sued oil and gas companies over her mother’s death in a heat wave. It's the first wrongful death case targeting fossil fuel companies over their role in global warming, experts said.
