Ask any woman, and she knows a survivor. Ask any group of guys, and they know a "bro who just gets a bad rap." Funny how math works.
Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · 4mo agoAll adults and some children on ICE flights—some 50 flights a day now—are shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a chain around their waists. I have spoken to migrants and their attorneys who report being shackled for 50, 75, and 82 hours while being deported. Flight data backs this up.

Hey Congress, Any President, regardless of political party, who threatens to order the United States Military to commit war crimes needs to be impeached immediately. If he does give these orders, he should be handed over to the International Criminal Court.

so people do get that this "change in the israeli death penalty policy" is actually just another term for "turning palestinian jails into mass extermination camps," right that's something people understand, right
The POTUS, who was a Russian asset from day one, is destroying America to benefit Putin. And we are just letting him do it.
