We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
OFFICIAL COVER REVEAL FOR HAUNTING THE HUNTER!🔥🔥🔥
My best friend took the photo and I've spent the past few days editing everything and making it perfect. Thank you so much @A.B Owings for you help and extra support reminding me it was good enough 🖤🖤🖤
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.
like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.
Marketing isn’t all on your shoulders. More than 50% of all new free subscriptions and 25% of paid subscriptions come from within our network.
So the Republican Party has historically blocked:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

Why are you giving oxygen to yet another damn poll? It seems to me to prove that name recognition is the critical feature for way too many voters. Loads of folks have noted (most recently Heather Cox Richardson in today's post) that people want authoritarian rule because they get to stop having to think about issues--apparently even remembering a famous name is too much strain. All polls do at this point is to exacerbate the follow-the-herd mentality. "Oh, everyone likes RFK JR? Better plan to vote for him."
We live in a society lobotomized by reality TV and car chases as an art form. Why think when your brain can be FED comforting lines? TV, TikTok, Instagram tell us what we think we need to know. The most telling new word for our mindlessness is "influencers."
Not all of society is prey to this. November 2024 is really going to be a test of whether there are more thinkers or comfortable sponges in our voting population.
What you say is why I posted this.
the phenomenon of preferring authoritarian rule, because freedom is scary, is hardly a new thing. Wilhelm Reich wrote eloquently about this in a BUNCH of books. and if the Reichian Orgonomy stuff struck readers as being a bridge or two too far, there's always Erich Fromm. these guys were Jewish thinkers writing in the immediate wake of WWII, so they had plenty of skin in the game, as did the members of the Frankfurt School, who get trashed today by people who have no idea what they were actually about.
Reich is indeed a bit much, but I am cool with the Frankfurt School., at least those I've read. I actually knew Leo Lowenthal. I worked for the library at the Stanford Behavior Science Center when he was a Fellow there. Fetched many a book from the Stanford Library for him; he was big on Interlibrary Loan.
It has been a long time since we've seen so many people actually YEARNING to be under Big Father's protective thumb, as opposed to accommodating a fait accompli. They have truly no idea what w…
isn't the point of all those guys that they NEVER do.
and the historical memory is so short; we see m to have given it up so EASILY.
Well said and right on the money, Susan.
Should Democrats move on from unconstitutional deportations/renditions?
No.
But that doesn’t mean they can’t do better…
Your child could have a school library filled with trans books, be taught only by trans teachers, have trans parents and siblings, be surrounded by trans people and trans content all the time, and I promise you all these things combined will not make your child trans.
You how I know that?
Because I was a closeted trans child raised in an anti-trans environment. No trans adults or peers. No trans books or shows. Zero trans visibility. If the topic ever came up, it was that trans people are weird …
