There we are.

“Secretary Hegseth’s misogynistic lethality screed was disqualifying. His continued railing against women in combat roles shows his deep personal inadequacies,” said the first defense official. “It shocks the conscience to hear the Secretary of Defense — he is no warrior — endorse bullying and hazing of service members. How dare this former National Guard major lecture our military leaders on lethality when he’s focused solely on his own cult of personality.”

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Any man who does this to a woman, has done it many, many times before. Guaranteed. Is sadistic personality disorder a requirement for ICE?

Sadism never exists in isolation. It's *always* accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

At least he’s not masked and wearing a badge- something rare these days.

This behavior is out of control and unacceptable.

"Chastain’s character “infiltrates online hate groups in an effort to stop large-scale attacks of domestic terrorism.” You can immediately guess who that will offend, so Apple went ahead and capitulated in advance by postponing the show until a “future date." www.pajiba.com/pajiba_love/...
