Mel Gibson is a monster and PASSION OF THE CHRIST 2: JESUS BOOGALOO is a sick joke, but BRAVEHEART is one of my favorite movies of all time. Some of us are capable of holding 2 thoughts in our heads - the hard truth is the majority of regressive "art" like MELANIA is just disposable junk.
People on the right love to say the left hates Melania just because it's right-wing art. The truth is, leftists are constantly falling over ourselves to defend our favorite problematic art/artists. The reason no one on the left is doing this for Melania is because it is a complete garbage film.

A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.
A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

Every Republican lawmaker should condemn this effort to criminalize the activity of a coequal branch of government. Today, it was Democrats being targeted by Trump — but any of them could be next.

We should all be grateful to the citizens serving on this grand jury who saw through what the Trump Justice Department tried to do and stood up for the rule of law.

The Trump administration’s attempt to indict six Democratic lawmakers was an outrageous abuse of power and perhaps its most brazen attack on freedom of speech so far.
A grand jury has refused to indict Democratic lawmakers in connection with a video in which they urged military members to resist “illegal orders.”

The American people don't want wasteful funding for operating rooms and competitive wages for medical staff; they want common-sense hornet and scorpion reforms, and they want the cobras to hiss at regular intervals so we know where they are.

It’s not a horse in a hospital. It’s a swarm of cobras, hornets, and scorpions in an operating theater, released there specifically to disrupt the procedures, injure the staff, and kill the patients.

MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

There is no sensible fucking way a single gendercritter should have the nerve to *ever* use children in their rhetoric again. Their “movement” is nothing but a nonce funded circle of nonce wagons, and they should be reminded forever.

So cool that Keir Starmer the Queer Harmer enables the cultural genocide of trans people while at the same cuddling and rewarding one of Epstein’s pets.
Anti-trans legislation is entirely based on *imagined* versions of the crimes being committed by the legislators and/or their friends.

Speaking as an autustic little white them who likes trains and is good at math, this perception doesn't even manage to benefit me, it's just used as a cudgel. We must do away with these bad assumptions immediately.
yeah, the old cultural idea that autism must equal “a little white boy who likes trains and is really good at math” has done a lot of damage
This is part of why common perceptions of autism suck so much: not every Neurodivergent person is Ben Affleck's The Accountant. I would NEVER cut it at NASA.
Unfortunately, that's the only way laypeople really "understand" Neurodivergence.

Conservatives don't believe their children are people if they make any choices not dictated to them, and would literally rather kill their kids than see them "stray from the path."
(This "how dare you be anything but what I made you?!" is what drives their Trans Panic bullshit, btw. It's pathetic.)
