I don’t give to or promote online fundraisers for individuals unless I know the recipient personally. Please don’t ask me to. I prefer to give money to charitable organizations. It’s not because I don’t trust individuals to use the money wisely or think them unworthy, it’s because scams are rampant.
I distinctly remember one of the main arguments against women in military combat arms jobs was “the men will rape the women” and I was aghast that people who claim to idolize tHe TrOoPz would assume that about, say, infantrymen. You’re telling me the guy in my foxhole is assumed to be a rapist?!
i dont really have the words to articulate it right now but i think a major element to... everything right now that no one wants to broach is that men are largely uninterested in a world without base misogyny and have a dimmer view of other men on that front than most feminists
This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.

Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

Americans with genuine concern for the welfare of at-risk Afghans probably shouldn't have taken up with a far right political movement with an express xenophobic disposition.

All visible from 2021, of course.

On today’s episode of “Landlords are Scum”

Client family complains of bed bugs, says they’re coming from walls. Landlord says “you’ve been there 8 months, you brought them in, it’s on you.” Law seems to say otherwise. I call Dept. Enviro Health. Lady says “Oh yeah, landlord’s responsibility.”

the biden border bill and choosing to run on a “border patrol endorsed” piece of legislation should go down as not only cowardly and backward thinking but one of the worst strategic political decisions by democrats in recent memory, everyone involved should be out of politics forever

lol I would not
There are far too many of us who can only answer “I don’t know”, when there shouldn’t be even one person on US soil that is unsure they’d survive.

But this is where we are.

Better people than I will have to be understanding/forgiving if you voted for this creature, or voted third-party, or sat it out.

Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

Remember the big foreign aid cuts? Estimates are that more than 760,000 people, including 500,000 children, have died over the past year since American assistance suddenly vanished - figures cited by Senate appropriations member Sen. Schatz.

The DNI has zero idea how to be a DNI and is fucking around with elections in order to gain the attention of a notoriously feeble minded President.

If you can't stand up for a fellow journalist when she's being ridiculously bullied and demeaned for asking a basic question of a public leader, you sure as hell aren't going stand up for anything as abstract as a national principle or ethos.

American journalism is dying. And with it, our republic.

All they had to do was pass these laws:

- you could not run for president after being convicted of a felony

- you could not hold public office with a dead worm in your brain

- you could not hold public office if you killed your dog

I mean….yeah I don’t think LEOs should be wearing them but no, these didn’t originate in CoD and were very popular years before 2009. Not saying CoD didn’t help but let’s not pretend it introduced them or inspired them.
In 2009, this was the mask of a UK SAS character in “Call of Duty.” By 2015 it was de rigeur among Iraqi government commandos and Shiite militiamen. In 2018, in “Sicario 2,” it was what CIA surrogate characters wore to disguise themselves as cartel gunmen.

Now US law enforcement wears it.

Told my old man that one of our refugee families — through some kind of clerical error neither they, nor we, nor the landlord caught — owes almost $10,000 in back rent.

His immediate question was “need some funds to help out?”

I said I doubt if he has that kind of cash lying around.

His reply?

Only 10 cases of Guinea worm disease were recorded *globally* last year.

It may become the second human disease we eradicate, after smallpox.

Striking from new Quinnipiac poll:

*Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33

*Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe

Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)

they don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it

"oh well I guess we'll just stay home" is not how this is going to go
