Children are encouraged to develop independent thought in the tween years, but by age 14 or 15, they are still, in fact, children. Here’s a brilliant child breaking it down for us.

I really wish all humans understood brain development. Even at the age of consent or 18, the average person is still approximately 7 years away from attaining the executive function skill set. This would be even longer for neurodivergent individuals. Coercive control is easy at 14 or 15 years old.

Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.
Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

The world is complicated enough, without having to think about how to not get arrested for having an opinion.
It’s a hard conversation to have with your child who is just visiting for the holidays. You tell them to be careful while traveling. You worry about thieves. You don’t ever see yourself having to warn your child about Nazis. Until now.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

The evil genius of crypto is that it creates fake ‘money’ that trades for real value. Keep the scam running and you can swallow the world.

That is the endgame.

Justice Alito says he is not seeking to overturn the SCOTUS ruling legalizing same-sex marriage even though there are cases before the court trying to overturn the Obergefell v. Hodges decision

I want to know what Lukas Borja did(n’t do) to warrant being chased, tackled, and arrested by ICE outside of Broadview in Chicago last night.

I have to wonder what this guy (didn’t) do?
Portland ICE Facility: Federal agents made a violent arrest dragging a protester all the way across the driveway. They also deployed pepper balls on the crowd. It’s currently unclear why this person was arrested.

Yeah, that’s a real head scratcher 🤔

The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview.

Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

Definitely a formative song in my teenage years, checking out the cassette tape from the library, taking the bus to get there.
On this day in 1983, #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees released "Dear Prudence".

A cover of a song by #TheBeatles it also featured #RobertSmith of #TheCure on guitars, covering for recently departed #JohnMcGeoch.

It was a smash hit for the band, peaking at No. 3 on the #UKSinglesChart
