I can guarantee every single person Gen X or older knows men who "dated" young teens, & all the adults in their lives looked the other way. Clutching your pearls now when you've happily made excuses for your own friends & family for decades? What did Trump do that other men in your life haven't?

White American women "keeping the peace" & "banning political talk at the table" this Thanksgiving are complicit in fascism.
Stop cozying up to whiteness & the patriarchy. Say something to the fucking fascists at your dinner tables. These men brutalizing ppl in your streets should never know peace.

Didn't take long.
I honestly can't wait to see how the Dems will ignore and fuck up this very clear sign from the electorate. They'll find a way to tell leftists to shut up & sit the fuck down.
The blue no matter who people, who spent years telling the left to enjoy the camps for telling them that transphobia and genocide are wildly unpopular election-losing positions, ended up voting for a sexual predator *not* running as a democrat who was endorsed by Trump, Musk, and Miller. Who lost.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

As the other half of this team, the support and security of a spouse in the public service is what allowed me to to launch my own accounting business. It did not have to be an all or nothing gamble.
I know there's not a lot of sympathy for public servants and their cushy jobs and fat cat benefits, but cuts of this magnitude will be devastating to the services Canadians depend on. And I would just say a couple of things.

I don't think Americans are actually capable of viewing the rest of the world in any way except through the lens of American Exceptionalism.

Fires. The military occupation. The ongoing paramilitary occupation. Repeated attacks on peaceful demonstrations by local cops. Continued hardships as the studios don't do more production in the city. Los Angeles is struggling this year. This win means a lot.
Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.
