Lover of travel, history, academia, etc. My opinions are my own and can be abrasive, especially when discussing the current hellscape that is American politics. @ArubaaJamaica on Twitter

If any of the charges are federal, surely, but not if these are all state charges.

It has less to do with having a SAH parent and more to do with parents being clueless as to what their kids are doing online, especially boys who are falling into these manosphere poisoned ponds. Your kids being home "safe" doesn't mean they're actually safe if they're forever online.

Netanyahu announces Israel will not abide by the terms of facilitating humanitarian aid, despite it being a key ceasefire agreement clause.

Didn't take long, did it?

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

They can try, but their abject stupidity is also their biggest obstacle. They're not smart enough to be subtle.

In a way, yes. It's the toxic combination of the misogyny/racism of past generations and that of the "manosphere" that targets younger Millennials/Gen Z. These guys are anathema to civilized society. Their names need to be public.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Yes, they do. Plenty of Dem voters in my circle have a problem with Sanders' age, despite really agreeing with his politics and will to push back.

Not exactly true. Some Dem voters do have a problem with it, despite whether they like her politics or not. The Dem party is geriatric at this point. People might feel more comfortable with incumbents, but it's a worthy convo to have whether it's smart to nominate people pushing 80 as freshmen Dems.

The Dem establishment is going to back Mills over the absolute phenom outsider Platner in Maine, which tells you everything you need to know about how well they understand the current moment & how prepared they are to meet it.

Canadians will be protesting in solidarity with our American friends on October 18th at No Tyrants rallies in Vancouver, BC, as well as in Toronto and Ottawa, Ontario. Stronger together.

If anything they've proven repeatedly why they are dangerous in leadership positions. The current destruction of the US is largely the fault of men. WW certainly didn't help, but it's overwhelmingly the fault of non black men.

Too many useless men fail upwards and turn things to sh*t. They are destroying the country and too many still don't see it.

Saudi perpetrated 9/11 and murdered an American journalist, yet our government has remained chummy with them through it all. The US only cares about ethics if they can make a buck off of it.

No disagreement, but I'm expressing my own experience. Personally speaking, the last book I read by a male author that I'd recommened to everyone is Fear by Bob Wooward. It's on my 'favorites' shelf.
