The power of these female coalitions is one of the main mechanisms that reverses the power dynamics between the sexes within bonobo groups...When female bonobos form aggressive alliances to exert social control over males, they demonstrate that power can be derived...from social support.
“Infanticide is a common male strategy in many species to ensure reproductive success… Bonobo females, however, have managed to reverse this trend, which chimpanzees do, thanks to an unusual cooperation between them…

Aggression against infants…almost always provokes retaliation from the females”

I stood with community leaders at the ICE facility in Burlington today to say: No family should fear separation. No refugee should be stranded. No human being should be denied dignity. The Trump administration has broken our promise of justice and we must repair it.

The last God’s Not Dead movie made $1.1m at the box office, almost certainly less than it cost to make, certainly less than it cost to make and market. They’re making another one, not because people want it, but because they need you to know they hate you.

Because he knows they’re gonna spin it so that they can deploy more troops in the hopes of getting people killed.
Hegseth's demeanor is bizarre. He's almost on the verge of laughing while talking about the shooting of two National Guardsmen. He seems elated.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

Manufacturing culture wars allows Republicans to sound faux populist without having to address the practical problems faced by most Americans — lack of paid sick leave, unaffordable child care and elder care, stagnant wages, and inadequate housing.

Don’t fall for it.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
