The coverage on Trump's potential Iran invasion has been woefully inadequate. And that's before you consider that none of them say, "Iran already agreed to a nuke deal, Trump ripped it up, causing the problem he's currently facing."

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

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.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

This is exactly right. The white kids and adults I know who know the true history of the United States and Colonialism don't feel bad or guilty; they feel angry, in community with their peers of other races, and empowered to push for change. Enlightened white people are dangerous to the hegemony.

You forgot begging, pleading, showing lots of studies, making muffins cos none of the above or below is working… I’m a bit cranky cos world leaders decided to infect every last human with a virus I don’t think most of them even understand at the most basic level…
so is there anyone who's not a crank or a scold that can tell me whether covid is giving us all some kind of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome? because it does sort of seem like that's happening to some degree but it feels like the only people discussing it are cranks and scolds

The email just released mentioning Lavrov should 'speak to him' from Epstein is June 24, 2018. Less than one month later Pompeo met with Lavrov in Helsinki on July 16, 2018. Trump met with Putin the same place on the same day. I think we finally figured out What the Hell Happened in Helsinki.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Realizing that the endpoint here is probably massively scaling back screening for autism spectrum disorders, limiting resources for people who need them, but leading to a decline in cases & declaration of victory. "If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any."
