"but we must have a way to deport illegal immigrants"
Hey, did you know the passport was invented in 1920? Like as a concept it's barely over 100 years old? I think about this a lot. It actually seems like humanity was managing fine without border control for the majority of our existence.

The anti-trans movement was astro-turfed by pedophilic patriarchs and it is *transphobia* that is inherently pedophilic and anti-feminist
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

the fact that Steven Pinker hung out with Epstein is, honestly, the least surprising thing I've ever learned.

The common thread between what the Epstein Files have revealed about those in the upper echelons of power in the US, the Manitoba Colony, and the Pitcairn Islands is patriarchy. It's patriarchy.

“protecting women and children” means first and foremost “women and children should be property without autonomy, subjugated by men”
there’s a reason why it’s literally part of the 14 words.

the difference between billionaire men and working class men is not that one has the power to rape without consequences and the other doesn’t, it’s that one has the power to mass rape while the other is restricted to lower class women, homeless children, his own children, his own wife
This is just the leftist version of the myth that all rapists are strangers in dark alleys, rather than relatives, fathers, boyfriends and so on.
All rich people (not just billionaires) shouldn't exist because capitalists shouldn't exist, whereas abolishing CSA implies destroying the POWER OF MEN!

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

the class of people that can fuck your kids without consequences is called men, and a lot of men think being able to control women and children and rape them and being able to extract endless labor from them is in fact how society should be structured

It would be against the Hunting With Dogs (Scotland) Act 2023. I'm not sure what the legal situation is in England, but up here at least you could only use a maximum of two dogs to flush him, and not to follow his trail through the woods.
You'd need to use good old fashioned bushcraft to hunt him.

This is my friends’ 73-year-old dad. He was protesting against DHS’s murder of Alex Pretti when ICE goons broke his jaw in three places with a flashbang grenade.

Cis people: Would you vote for a politician who would fix maybe 1/3rd of the issues we are currently facing but would also shoot you personally directly in your genitals with a pistol? Genuinely curious if that would be a red line for you.

when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.
