Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

This has been empirically demonstrated many times! You can’t expect men to have a place of domination and superiority over women in the home and treat women as equals outside of it.
Also, men who have traditional, stay-at-home wives treat women in their workplaces extremely unfairly, meaning that the choice to stay home *actively hurts* the choices of women (mothers or no) who want to work... while women who work do not hurt stay at home moms at all!

I’m frustrated. I went online to Costco to see if they carry a few staples I buy in bulk so that a membership would be worth it. They do. I pay the $65,l. Then I find out that my local store doesn’t carry any of the things that I signed up to buy. Truly on me for following my heart to a hotdog. 🤡

(NYT) - Attorney General Pam Bondi signaled on Thursday that there was unlikely to be a criminal investigation into the sharing of military operation details in an unsecured text group, declaring that the specifics of when fighter jets would depart and when bombs would fall were “not classified.”
Bondi Suggests Signal Chat Episode Is Unlikely to Be Criminally Investigated
The attorney general said the focus should be on the success of the U.S. military strike in Yemen, not that military information was shared in advance in a group text among top officials.

the purpose of banning section 230 is to ban all political, sexual, or critical speech from the internet
this is to silence grassroots movements that don’t have the explicit sanction of the wealthy and powerful
you are an abject moron or a liar if you believe it has any other purpose

It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.
Sen. DURBIN: Fentanyl often gets to our kids and young people through the internet.
Section 230 absolves social media companies from any responsibility. “That has got to end.”

This whole paragraph just called me out specifically. It’s like she was listening when my therapist called me a hypocrite for refusing to ask for help I needed because I didn’t want to be “a burden.” Even Jesus needed help carrying the cross. You are a burden worth carrying. #Lent2025GDMUTHU
