There is no way this is economically feasible. A private jet for TEN people? To a land where they have no ties?

At least make it somewhat plausible that you are not also drug running or selling slaves.

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

Adams should never be allowed anywhere near politics again. He was made for reality TV and that's where he should stay.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

Bruh, if you didn't want people to talk about your sexual history, you should have asked your mistress to not write a book! Would you like us to talk about you accepting bribes instead?

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Cervical cancer is one of few cancers we can prevent with the HPV vaccine. But it falls at the intersection of three cultural issues with strong political opposition — broad access to low-cost or free reproductive health care, access to vaccines for children, and sex education. via @19thnews.org

Cervical cancer could be eradicated. But not with Medicaid cuts and anti-vax politics.

The cancer has a known path of prevention, but that also means it falls at the intersection of cultural issues that are facing strong political opposition.

One artist speaking out is going to get chopped down. But I guarantee you that if you put two dozen of the biggest names together, the fascists can't do ****. What is the point of having a name with weight if you aren't going to throw it around for a good cause?

Honestly, the cowardice of truly famous modern artists irks me. It shouldn't just be minor indie artists speaking out. We need a "too big to fail" crew. Imagine a modern version of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BIv...

In case there are any lingering questions about what Trump's attack on "DEI" actually means. 98 percent of his appointees are white. We can just the relative merit of those appointees plainly.

Racism is real and measurable, which is why the first priority is to remove the structures measuring it.

I love when celebrities use their FU money like this. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it's messy (in a good way) and entertaining.
