My dad has shown me what being a true man looks like.
How to respect women, and what unconditional love looks like.

None of it involves typical “masculinity”.
None of it involves controlling women.
None of it involves “banter”.

He's what a true man and role model should be.

Mockler: Zero evidence whatsoever of any weaponization. I've asked you this multiple times and you have no evidence yet, Trump tried to send Pam Bondi a dm. This should be embarrassing that you are defending this

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

How fashy do you have to be for the Washington Post to refuse to sign your pre-clearance policy? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before signing deadline

The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

If you’ve ever wondered whether quiet resistance still matters...this story will remind you why it does. The video got grounded...but something much bigger...took off.🔥👇

Media outlets from WaPo, NYT, AP, and CNN to Newsmax are refusing to sign the Pentagon’s new gag-order press policy in a rare moment of total bipartisan media unity. This is the way. We can have different ideologies, but we must have a free press.

ICE is terrorizing people in the United States of America. Why would you call it anything else? That's exactly what it is.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

John Bolton, c’mon down…

I don’t really care because he saved all his information for his book instead of trying to save democracy.

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch
