The way most perpetrators of Child SA are apprehended occurs when a child makes an outcry to a public school teacher, counselor or administrator. It happens a lot less often when that employee has a monetary interest in the child's attendance #VoucherScam

The greatest fumble in policy history is conceding that we have an immigration problem. Our biggest (one of) immigration problem is that there is not enough of it

Sabotaging our healthcare is something an enemy nation would love to do

A good thread of some positive developements

Entering a period of incredible volatility, it may be more difficult to project what might happen over the next ten years than at any other time in history

“I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration.”

A conclusion is simply the place where someone got tired of thinking. Martin H. Fischer

Just bought the audio book looking forward to it

Make Nazis afraid to salute in public again

The prosecutors who resigned instead of signing off on the Eric Adams dismissal were sending a message. Here's my take youtu.be/d9P8dKGufZs?...

When you call from the Bexar County Jail, the recipient gets a message with a number to call in case the caller wants to harm themselves and it would just make so much more sense to give that message at the end of the call

Someone should ask Trump if we still have to pay taxes. Bet he says no

One thing that isn't talked about enough is what qualities a person needs to be a good judge. It's a skill set all its own but what constitutes the skill set isn't discussed enough

A smart thread about why Democrats are failing to respond to what's happening. I agree. We need to get serious before the moment is lost

This is so cool. Great thread

Me when I see more people want to eliminate DOGE than the IRS

The forced resignation of Denise Cheung for refusing to freeze accounts at the request of Trump political appointees is a very disturbing development www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

This is a great example of how the attack on DEI masks the failure of white mediocrity. Gamestop failed because of a lack of executive imagination and changing tech, but it is so much easier to blame minorities

This is very much worth watching

Always been my favorite name to call an enemy

An example of why this is our only politician meeting this moment

Has already been the downfall...

This is a dystopian nightmare

This also applies to lawyers (kind of obviously) but we need the reminder

This is wishful thinking. There will be no winners here just lovers. There is no upside

Think the president wouldn't use the IRS to go after someone? After Andy Warhol made this "Vote McGovern" image to support his presidential campaign, he was audited by the IRS every year of his life. (That's why he started keeping the Diaries, to document his activities for tax purposes.)

I'm sorry but there is no evidence to back this up. Either the percentage people fitting this description is so small it can't be measured or they're fine with it. You can tell because Trump's approval has increased since taking office

Additionally a screenshot works as well as providing a link without promoting the story

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Maybe the most effective attack ever executed

It will be remarkably easy to find such a person

Democrats need to take a lesson from my dog when I take him to the vet. I may get him there but as he locks his legs and struggling for every inch he makes future trips less likely

An insightful thread that is also very disturbing

Hold corporations and businesses accountable is one mark of a progressive prosecutor, but not one that is recognized enough
