the US has reverted back to a monarchy after all
There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

“You’re either on the team or you’re not,” Hegseth reportedly told Holsey. “When you get an order, you move out fast and don’t ask questions.”

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.
After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed.

Men are socialized to hate women. They are told from a small age the worst thing they can do is “cry like a girl, or throw like a girl or act like a girl.” Then they grow up associating women & girls with shame. And that is how this misogyny breeds. It is patriarchal conditioning from the get-go.

Long thread to say "shit rolls downhill." But yes, anti-vaxx is a form of child abuse. Sometimes it's men abusing children as a way to abuse their wives. Sometimes is women abusing children because they can't punch upwards.
