I think it's the "saving up for braces" part of this story that adds a whole new level of ick. Like... that's a kid, man
The 17 year old who had sex for money with Trump’s first nominee for Attorney General was in and out of a homeless shelter, working at McDonalds. and trying to save up for braces. (Gift link).

Please read this to help understand what this administration is doing to our universities. It is truly horrific.
UVA is the first public university to sign a deal with the Trump administration. Here's what it means.
UVA's deal with DOJ avoids monetary fines, but lawyers and faculty say it comes at a steep cost
"The underlying theme of what's happening is that they're trying to exclude voices and ideas," Chris Ford, a contracts lawyer and UVA alumnus, said.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

“It is time to choose sides; fascism or morality? Big tech has made their choice.”
Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

"Rather than retreat from the horrors of slavery as was happening in Central and South America, Southern states in America committed to a new era of harsher conditions, dehumanizing control, and brutal punishment of enslaved people."
On this day in 1831, an enslaved Black man named Nat Turner was hanged in Jerusalem, Virginia, after being convicted of leading a revolt against slavery.

This moment says everything about why Zohran Mamdani won.
A journalist in a wheelchair asked about accessibility and Mamdani didn’t talk down to him, didn’t deflect, didn’t politicize it. He listened.
He’s the kind of leader who respects everyone, every faith, every class, every flag.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

My 7yo was excited to show me that she completed her homework all by herself. She said she looked up quotes on her tablet and this was her favorite.
Do I tell her it’s falsely attributed or naw just roll with it?
