I’m glad newspapers are taking Trump’s relationship with Epstein seriously now that we’re six months into his second term as president

Of course they were baptists. For anyone who doesn’t know, there are a few denominations that are especially hateful and puritanical. The baptists are a big one.

Firstly, that depends on your definition if success. I do not think of the ultra-wealthy as successful; you only become that wealthy through incredibly ethically dubious means. Secondly, i’d genuinely love to see your source regarding your tax claims.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

SCOTUS just made it easier for states to block millions of people from accessing life-saving care — like cancer screenings, STI testing, and more. This move is a major step toward completely defunding Planned Parenthood. This is how abortion access gets taken away, without an outright ban.

That’s so mean 🤣 And yet, seems more valid than pawning off the nation’s forest reserves. Lee’s land grab is beaten back for the time being, but the idea won’t go away. It’s going to take sustained activism from public land loyalists to foil ill intent for green space, from local to national.

Hi! Everything has happened before. Humans aren’t that original, we repeat patterns like crazy everywhere you look. If it’s happening now, it’s happened before on some level. Maybe not to the current level, but it has happened. This gives me hope that if we’ve defeated it before we can do it again.

When facism runs out of money and collapses we are going to tax the rich so fucking hard. I can’t wait to see all of the programs the heritage foundation has crushed be rebuilt even better—and I REALLY can’t wait for the heritage foundation to be decimated now and in every history book forever.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.  Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.  But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
