A huge problem with the Platner apologists is that women are just supposed to take it so we don’t get in the way of progressive politics. SA’d by a progressive man? Better than the alternative, right? We have to keep taking one for the team. Over and over again.

For the ppl saying that women are liars cause they only speak up when a man is running for office, consider that most victims are just happy to escape and our peace is more important to us than “justice” but if our abusers were about to gain power, we’d feel morally obliged to say something

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

It’s easy for us to forget the power we hold in our daily interactions. Never underestimate the ripple effect of your warmth. A genuine smile, a gentle word can turn someone’s day around. Be that extra bit of sunshine for someone who might need it most. #Jaye’sMorningLight

Like the robber barons of the first Gilded Age, Bezos’s consumption is of the conspicuous kind. But is luxurious lifesty

Nothing says MAGA art of the deal quite like Iran getting to charge the United States $2M per ship to pass through the strait of Hormuz, a fee that never existed before the illegal war, all whilst MAGA regime claims victory over getting the strait reopened which was open in the first place.

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

Could This Actually End Citizens United?

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.No Supreme Court ruling or constituti

Pete Hegseth — the most unqualified Defense Secretary in modern history — blocked the promotion of two Black & two women Army officers. These are servicemembers who earned their rank, served with distinction, and put their lives on the line for this country — & they deserve better than this mess.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.
