Today, local authorities confirmed the victims of the Stockton shooting were just 8, 9, 14, and 21 years old — and that the attack was likely targeted. Our hearts break for their families and the entire Stockton community.
America HATES its children. HATES them. We let them get slaughtered at schools, stores, and birthday parties. We think educating them wastes money that could go to deserving billionaires, instead of being an investment in our future. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds even refused funds to FEED children. HATES

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.
even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.
It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.
Vought is a mass murderer.

Can someone remind me why this is not our guy for 2028? Young, speaks well, drops truth bombs, handsome (sorry it’s an advantage)….??
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Excellent thread about disagreements/debates/conversions on social media.
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Every one of these whines about “warriors” having to endure education and interaction with civilian agencies boils down to this: When you factor in politics, strategy, philosophy, ethics, outcomes, etc. there’s no way to conclude that indulging my impulses is always right and that makes me feel bad.

Excellent brief clip. And what the interviewer says is right: party doesn't matter. The FBI ignored these tips from victims during the Clinton administration. NOW it's being covered up by the Trump regime, and the international cabal. This long crime spree needs to be uprooted ruthlessly.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

Putin should not still be in power. He should be in prison. And the Russian government/oligarchy should be too impoverished by sanctions to prosecute a war against Ukraine. We need to be harder on international criminals.
