Hey @democrats.org yet another story for your ad campaign that I’m really sure you’re going to start any second now.
Boycott any company that sponsors. Let make sure it’s just Balance of nature, my pillow and relief factor and whatever else Foxnews one
I really hope this is it because I don’t want to defend this loser.
There might be something too it but I’m too tired to figure it out.
OH MY GOD IT MIGHT BE LEGITIMATE?! I can’t yall.
Y’all. Like Y’all. Y’ALL. This shit is super bad but I am never going to stop laughing that he went after these guys before the Clintons.

Wait why is Maine holding a primary? Aren’t they doing ranked choice?
The most dangerous thing about Gillette stadium is that there is a Trader Joe’s parking lot next to it filled with Masshole drivers.

Once again struck by how many prominent "heterodox" thinkers split off and create their own institutions not because of academic censoriousness but because no one who closely examines their methodology can possibly take them seriously.
Just gonna leave this here.
In survey data, LGBT young people report consistently worse mental health than heterosexual young people.
Whether this is because LGBT causes mental illness (i.e. the minority stress or anomie hypotheses), or because
mental illness causes individuals to be LGBT is beyond the scope of this work.2

Look, if it’s true that they trained this on fanfic, I cannot emphasize enough to you how much you do not want this adult feature.

Part of the reason many Germans supported the Nazis was that there really was a lot of violence in the streets & they wanted order. But much of that violence was carried out by the Nazi paramilitary SA.

So the Nazis presented themselves as the solution to a problem they intentionally created

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers.
Tackles, projectiles and gunfire: Many fear ICE tactics are growing more violent

I really really want a follow up to all those cops that took up DeSantis’s offer to come down and work for Florida wages with Florida work protection AND the completely different expectation of how police will interact with average person.
FYI, I’m not interested in any defense of calling it Columbus Day if the defender has never had to read his journals — in the original Spanish

I really need the church to stop doing stuff like this because I’m going to have to start going to mass again (no, I don’t suddenly believe in God, but fun fact, sola fe isn’t something Catholics worry about- despite what the charismatics (*cough* Catholic Pentecostals) say.
Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
Once upon a time I got a “come back home” packet from the Catholic Church and to this day, no one I know will admit they did it as a prank or as a way to try and get me to go back to church.
This is great because “I’ve never met anyone who got in trouble because of the Star Card” is something anyone that knows any enlisted folks absolutely cannot say.
If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure
I went to an all girls high school in South Louisiana (1,200 or so of us) and I’m just imagining what the halls would smell like in August with non-vegan tampons.
I mean, this is really desperate shit, isn’t it? I am a great deal more woke-sceptic than pretty much all of Bluesky but I honestly can’t be bothered to care about the National Trust putting vegan tampons in the men’s toilets and neither should you
GMOs are getting out of hand.
I hate it so much. My kid should not have such a better life than my friend’s and family’s kid simply because we left our home state.

Y’all is it legal for us to go to a flea market in Vermont and *not* take the Subaru?
This is 100% true, but the woke media won’t tell you about it.
he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing
Yeah but the religious belief in the sacrament of the Eucharist is really well documented and requires active membership in a religion that is easy to verify while simultaneously not infringing on anyone else’s rights so clearly this SCOTUS won’t see it your way.
