Seeing these consultants up close and personal was one hell of an experience, man.

In 2015, I could've become the Candace Owens of dads. I had the backstory, the writing chops, the credibility. The grift economy was hiring.
I took one look and said "Nope."
Why radicalization is a choice, and why I have no patience for people who made the other one.

In 2012, I went looking for the men’s rights movement.

I lurked in alt-right forums ten years ago to keep tabs on those assholes, but anyone going "tee hee!" for the New York Times is doing it because they're aiming to get on the Bari Weiss-style grifting train, not to arm themselves and others for reality and how to fight back.

I've seen women die in childbirth for lack of prenatal care in Charlottesville, Virginia. Not Bumfuq, West Virginia/Mississippi/Idaho/etc, but Charlottesville, Virginia. You can't tell me that's a feature, not a bug, with these fucking assholes.
Mortality rates:
Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K
Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)
More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

I've got, or I should say, had, a lot of respect for Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. But if you can't be bothered to stand up for what's right out of some fucking political calculus (that isn't even right!), you don't belong in office.
Department of Homeland Security spending bill just passed 220-207 with the support of the following Democrats:
• Henry Cuellar
• Tom Suozzi
• Vicente Gonzalez
• Laura Gilles
• Marie Gluesenkamp Perez

Anyone lost a puppy could chime in here? Our other dog has become... I don't want to say "morose", but he hasn't eaten anything, it looks like he's looking for his friend Sophie, he has gone to her normal spots. I didn't think they were bonded, they just got along well, but now I'm worried.

In early January 2016, I had a bunch of folks telling me I was overreacting and full of shit.
Eh, they were probably right.

don't give your money to consultants for some vague promise, give it to people who will go out right now, today, and buy a car full of groceries for a family that's too afraid to leave their home.

We still talk about the pediatric surge following his decision. I saw more pediatric intubations and emergency life flights that fall than the rest of my emergency services career combined.
We will not forget Gov. Youngkin’s agenda of *killing children to own the libs.*
Youngkin’s State of the Commonwealth/farewell address was ridiculous. It amounted to (1) undeserved self-praise and (2) begging not to change his policies even though Dems swept to victory in House races all across the state & his hand-picked gov candidate went down in a landslide 15-point defeat.

I thought real hard about packing up and heading to help in Minneapolis, as an ER Nurse could certainly be useful there, and then I remembered that if this is all about retribution and punishment, by golly, Charlottesville is going to be high on the list.

It's always the folks with the most to lose who stand up to injustice, and the ones with the power to make a difference- the ones who know the truth, the ones who know better- who say nothing at all.
The Trump era in a nutshell:
Ordinary citizens are holding ICE accountable, while large law firms are doing nothing.
Small businesses are speaking out, while large corporations remain silent.
Independent media show moral urgency, while legacy media reports "both sides."

All I can say is that I never lied on my application to be the President of the University.
Friends, after careful consideration and approximately 2.7 hours of sleep, I am pleased to announce my candidacy for Interim President of the University of Virginia.

It is my job to take care of women who are abused by their partners. What I saw on that video is exactly what my patients describe hearing as they’re being strangled or shot at. This is evil. (Also love to the millions of women whose PTSD is trigger by this. Take care of yourselves)
How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here
