Abortion is healthcare but White Christian men want it to to be warfare. Vance Boelter murdered Melissa Hortman here in Minnesota because of abortion rights. MAGA men need women to experience forced birth to ensure they are stuck with loser men who want to control them. Domestic violence for all.
Embattled reproductive healthcare providers and patients in the US are already dealing with unprecedented harassment and intimidation. The resurgence of blockades as a tactic carries significant potential for radicalizing participants to violence.

So a VA high school football coach goes “missing” right as he’s under investigation for child pornography.
Yeah… doesn’t look like he wants to be found.
And let’s be honest — this feels awfully familiar coming from the same crowd that loves to scream about “protecting kids.”

A quite large oil on canvas portrait of Lorna from 1991. This one is stored away rolled up with other canvases but I just spotted a photo of it on my camera rolll. She was a frequent and very patient sitter for portraits when she lived nearby and has several of them (more available!)

MAGA in Minnesota has covered up sex crimes in Wright County for three decades. MAGA men are so violently against women having reproductive choice that they will murder lawmakers in their PJs and kill their pets. MAGA in Minnesota is beyond cruel. After the regime falls, MINNESOTA MAGA must fall.

Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.
