Physical abuse is horrific. But emotional abuse gets too little attention. And adult who takes their 2-year-old's bunny, which she uses for self-soothing, is rabidly spiteful.

Charity shop find: I'm a sucker for a Haynes manual. I'm assuming this one is comprehensive.
El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
The Seattle library levy is on track to pass with 80% voting yes. The Seattle Times came out against it and was resoundingly ignored. Seattle voters want nice things and are willing to pay for them.
So far, voters overwhelmingly approve Seattle library levy
A property tax levy to fund the city's public library system over the next seven years is solidly ahead after the first release of vote totals Tuesday evening.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
One of the biggest fallings of our pathetic mainstream media is they NEVER demand Vance have to answer for his outright unabashed hateful bigotry. This is the man that started the smearing of Haitians in Ohio. He continues here. He’s never questioned or called out for it. He’s the VP. A disgrace

Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.
Assholes who make fun of people eulogizing their dogs: There aren't many places for folks to do that, and it's a big moment in some people's lives they weren't exactly ready for. So shut the hell up and let them do it.
There's a wealthy village adjacent to my small city and we go there often for ice cream. Their streets are full of bikes, ebikes, scooters, golf carts, kids, and slow driving motorists. I attribute it completely to the street design and it pisses me off that we reserve it for the wealthy.

In the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.
My son was wearing a "Vote Reform" t-shirt and an "I love Nigel" baseball hat. He's been spat at, abused, slapped around the head and told he's a brainless twat. God knows what's going to happen to him once he gets out of the house...
The Capital One/Trump money-laundering scandal is merely the tip of an Epstein related iceberg that's been threatening to sink Trump since 2012. It's also an attack on banking regulations passed by Congress in the 1930s as part of the New Deal. August 4, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

the whole “governments are bad at distributing resources and market tend to be really good at it” thing is just hilarious, they’ll spout the same lie while the inequality in resource distribution has never been higher in all of human existence.
