I’m in the process of divorcing and whether I ever marry again is a coin toss. I’m not about to evangelize for or against cuz every marriage is different. I just think ppl should consider whether they want a WEDDING or a MARRIAGE a lot more carefully.
Jemele is over there defending marriage and I don’t understand why happily married people ever care what never-married or divorced people think about marriage.

People have a right to hate things you enjoy.

This “affordability” framework for a second reconciliation bill (i.e. a “Second Big Beautiful Bill”) follows the same structure as its predecessor:

1.)Making it harder for Americans to afford health care, food & groceries.

2.)Tax cuts for rich people. 🧵
🐘📈 Republicans in the House have started about a second party-line reconciliation package.

In other words: A "One Big Beautiful Bill 2.0."

The Republican Study Committee put out its framework for a bill.

Here is everything in it, and how much it costs or saves on th3e federal budget:

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them.

But this one hit today.

And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon.

My roommate is a teacher and has reported that ICE has been hanging around Septa stops and depots in the interest of abducting kids on their way home because they aren’t allowed to enter schools. They claimed to be part of a “Septa Strike Force” which does not exist. Boost if you can.

One thing I didn't fully appreciate until I sat on a jury and reviewed body cam footage for myself, is how cops yell contradictory instructions at people like "Don't move" "Put your hands up" "Get the fuck out of here" "Keep your hands where I can see them" etc. all screamed at your face with guns

"Any state or entity becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons, when it captures nations, but not minds, when it enslaves millions, yet convinces nobody, when it dons armor and calls it faith, when in the eyes of God it is naked, having no faith at all."
June 2, 1961: Twilight Zone's "The Obsolete Man" airs. A totalitarian state decides to execute a man who poses a grave threat to their "perfect" society: a librarian. But the tables soon turn.

Stars Burgess Meredith in the 3rd of his 4 TZ eps, and Fritz Weaver in the 2nd of two.

If you’re still out there venerating law enforcement or blindly believing in their narratives, you are not my people.
Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.

Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.

They admitted it.
