I've seen this so often so I just want to chime in: the money isn't even a contribution, really, because a lot of these men are financially abusing their partners. It's not even a contribution or a transaction, it's just... power over another person. That's what they want from a relationship.
A certain kind of man thinks of money as their sole contribution to the household. No cooking, cleaning, childcare, emotional connection or compromise required.

Me: You make lots more money than me and I don't understand why men get shitty about that dynamic.
Wife: Most men see breadwinning as a control lever, not a contribution to the family. Also those men don't eat pussy right or at all and have nothing else to offer, so

I'd bet money that someone at DHS has referred to this tactic unironically as a "Good Samaritan trap."
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

This is precisely what polling places were like for part of the 19th century.
People often traveled long distances by horse to vote. It was a big deal when folks got together this way.

Of all things to criticize AOC about, boilerplate on Taiwan gets people upset?
Sorry tankie leftists, she didn’t say everything bad in the world is America’s fault, and indicated that deterring Chinese imperialism could be good.
Sorry, fake China hawks, she was measured instead of fire-breathing.

Just going to point out again that our arbitrary political rules permit Republicans to attack urban areas with impunity but strictly forbid the faintest whiff of condescension toward rural areas by Democrats
“The first thing I thought was, ‘What is she talking about?’” said Bryan Fish, the vice mayor of Culver City, whom everyone calls Bubba but doesn’t look like someone whom everyone calls Bubba. “The only crime here,” he added, “is like the $18 strawberry at Erewhon.”

The story of the slow, inexorable decline of Trump's support in the last thirteen months is the story of millions of Americans, one person at a time, witnessing the obscenities being perpetrated by this administration and being roused to opposition.
I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
