I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028. You can believe me now or believe me in 2028. Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.

The war in Iran highlights a glaring double standard. Ukraine has suffered under Russian missiles and shaheds for years, denied sufficient air defense and missiles to strike Russia. The West is clearly capable of decisive action. It is time to arm Ukraine properly

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time. The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets. I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

The difference between the Mexican cartels and the country of Venezuela is that the Mexican cartels have a far greater ability to hit back at the United States. For example, they could grab a random American family in Acapulco and murder them brutally just to send a message.

It’s important to think of this systemically. Women are less likely to land managers and agents to begin with, and then less able to be able to transform successes or even jobs into higher visibility and more attention in the town. The reason they do so well in contests is many are read blind.
