NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

Last year, Starbucks’ CEO took home $95.8 million. The typical Starbucks worker got $14,674. That’s a gap of 6,666 to 1.
It’s no wonder Starbucks workers across the country are going on strike today.
Show solidarity and shop elsewhere.

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >
Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

we have GOT to stop thinking about this in terms of hypocrisy because that's not what's going on! we NEED to understand why pedo apologia is so rampant in anti-trans pseudoscience, why abuse is so rampant in the home, why child marriage is still legal across the country etc.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

It should be a national scandal that the official government excuse for not recognising COVID-19/ Long Covid as an occupational illness is because community transmission is now so prevalent. This is an admission of failure and abandonment of public health. The repercussions will be felt for decades.

It's a little hard to tell which parts of the Dems resistance to going hog wild with the Epstein stuff is fear, as someone once put it, of "their faves being implicated" and what is just piety to stupid standards of decorum.

I can't even fathom what January will look like, except probably very bad for the Trump regime.
Absent a major black swan event, I don't see a path to power consolidation for them at this point.

The timetable evidently has been accelerated.
What's your new predication for when we get to January?
I'll just throw a random one out there: They do release the Epstein files but only after Trump had time to preemptively pardon himself and he tells his base he had to cause it was a Dem smear job.

imagination is mainly used by human beings to conceive of potential dangers in daily life or surviving situations that will kill or maim them. stable people need it less. people who have been extremely rich a very long time and never have to worry about not being rich tend to lose it completely
