AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

@aoc.bsky.social Hi. I'm in your jurisdiction. I couldn't pay rent this month because I had no food coverage. A chronic illness requires I prepare my own food from basics I'm not allergic to so MoW & care packages are out. What can I do outside the dreaded Access HRA to supplement my meager Social?

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Since this is JUST a ceasefire...
Orange dummy still doesn't get that a "ceasefire" in the Middle East means Israel stops but for Hamas it's business as usual. Frame it any way you like that's what it means there.

It’s a ceasefire, not a peace plan. Media call it a “peace plan” because leaders frame it that way, headlines favor optimism, and it’s part of a broader roadmap. But a ceasefire only pauses fighting and it doesn’t resolve the conflict.

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

@holocluck.bsky.social What a difference 11 years makes on you, right? 2014 when you fronted me a qualifying scarf to ride in the RFL Giant Snail Race. Then modeling your ACTS team shirt in 2019. What you look like now when you vacated your Rosehaven property.

2014 Snurky (me) and Holocluck Henly when he bought me a donation scarf for a competition. In addition to making audio PSA's for Hearts & Souls Relay Team I still ran in the fundraising Giant Snail Races.

In 2019 we had pictures taken at Calas Galadhon. By then we both belonged to Aetherchrononauts Tiny Steps RFL team in Second Life. I was still Snurky; me and Cluckey were still classic avatars.

Columbus bragged in letters about raping 9-year-old girls & selling them into slavery.

So of course, Trump is using him to replace Indigenous Peoples' Day,
calling Columbus the "first American hero."

Maybe he can rename it, Trump-Epstein-Columbus Day. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Trump’s doctor says his latest physical shows phenomenal cardiac health. His only problems are obesity, black hands, fluid build up in his lower legs, extreme difficulty climbing stairs, and a diet of constant fast food.

Every time he has APPEARED to do something good, it was taking the credit for someone else's efforts. Was just waiting for it to come out what was fake about it.
