i voted in GOP primaries for a long time because where i lived meant the general election was usually decided in the primaries anyway, that means i continue to get deranged texts from conservative campaigns even though i stopped voting in the GOP primary

This is horrific. Horrific for its barbarism, but also utterly unsurprising that a political party that can't win wars, can't control gas prices, can't bring down grocery prices and can't stop basic preventable diseases also can't kill prisoners correctly.

Not a great sign when your 12-person private fundraiser includes someone who hates you enough to leak damaging audio
The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.

The death penalty is plainly unconstitutional, in addition to being a human rights violation. It should never happen, anywhere, to anyone. Shame on every single person that failed the child that Christa Pike was. She was still someone’s child, and no state should be in the business of murder.

it’s a good thing the IDF levelled this park so that the people whose houses were bombed by the IDF have a place to pitch their tents
split screen, two views of a park on the Gazan coast…little gazebos line the beach, there’s tiled walkways and grass

it looks nice google satellite view of the same park, showing that everything has been destroyed and the only thing left is demolished blocks full of tents between torn up roads

The broligarchs are predators & they compete for status with one another by being predatory. Same arrangement as in Epstein's circle, the Cornell rape frat & the Pelicot case. Raping women/girls is the "sacrament" of male supremacy & it bonds men across barriers of race, age, class, religion, etc.
