There's just this constant: "You must pretend that you are at a ladies' tea party even in the midst of a massacre, which is by the way your fault because you're not tea partying with enough daintiness and reserve. Doilies shall be thy only weapon against cannons." Fuck that. And hooray for Ossoff.

I agree with others who have also pointed out, how is it that no media or the pentagon flagged a Russian oil tanker leaving port under sanctions two weeks ago? Hmm?

When all these tradwife influencers start pivoting away from their alt-right branding in the next few years, never forget they were on this fascist bandwagon to line their pockets at the expense of every other woman in this country.

Also, big shout out to the Trump Supreme Court for overturning that silly bump stock ban. If some right wing gun nut wants to lock himself in an hotel room and massacre dozens whilst maiming several hundred innocent bystanders what business is it of the government’s?

Failures of privatisation. Royal Mail to cut up to 2,500 jobs Foreign-owned RM doesn't meet letter delivery targets even after regulator lowered them. Postage: 1st class, £1.80, 2nd class 91p. When privatized in 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. Poor service at triple price. Customers fleeced.

🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines
The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

That was my thought as well, having worked for the Defense Health Agency in Europe. But again, they didn't care about all the Americans living in the middle east when this started. Kinda like T on school shootings. "Stuff happens, get over it."
