Anyone got a list of the journalists on that plane?
Makes my stomach hurt every time I see it, knowing not one cowardly, feckless piece of garbage journalist colleague spoke up for her. Not one.
Why should I pay attention to any of these desperate social climbing gizzards when they allow that, and so much else?

But overwhelmingly, with the exception of that little Appalachian family church and the Black Churches, the Protestants asked if she was a member, or hung up on her.
One pastor told her, verbatim: “Benevolence is for our members.”

This was the plan all along and why people like Thiel have inserted their cronies into key positions in the govt. They HATE the FDA and have for many years because they want to make drugs (mostly longevity ones) that don’t have to go through serious vetting. Here is the inevitable outcome:
FDA is approving a new form of nalmefene for “prophylaxis” for “opioid exposure,” specifically citing fentanyl.
“Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Fent has to be intentionally ingested to cause OD.
It’s being made by a “blockchain-focused digital finance company” whose “biotech arm” is only this…

this doesn’t seem like a plan so much as a series of reactions
So with Congress voting unanimously and Thune saying he might follow suit before end of business today, what exactly is the play here? All the branches sign off and Trump even puts his signature on it so he can be seen as releasing the files, only for Bondi to stonewall due to "open investigations"?

Martin Scorsese has been an invaluable force in an industry that has, since its inception, been utterly callous in its disregard for its own artists. Scorsese learned about what happened to Georges Méliès and vowed to not let it continue. His work as an archivist and advocate are unparalleled.

So, just to be clear, in addition to sending queer people out into the cold to starve or freeze to death, the SA also:
- provides food services for ICE
- provides correctional services to the carceral system
- union busts
They’re almost comedically evil.

The apartment building my Grandparents were living in burned down when my mother was a baby. The Salvation Army assisted the other tenants with emergency housing. They wouldn't help my Mom's family because they were Jewish.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

Quoting “a pretty good source,” he says “they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out.”
