After decades of the Republican party's incessant shaming and morality policing, all their faux "family values," they are silent as Trump again shares racist content and appears over 30k times in the Epstein files. Tells you everything you need to know.

Every documents release a reminder that many men still view women and girls as objects, there for them to use
Also: we already know this man is a rapist who bragged about assaulting women. What new evidence will it take to change the minds of those still loyal? What more do they need to see?

Heartbreakingly sad how many people will say it’s ok for humans to be violently dragged away from their kids and homes, brutalized, even killed, all in the name of nationalism. America, I should never be surprised

Nothing Ever Happens — Peatsmoke
Edith Patterson Stevie is in love with this town. She is in love with its heavy sense of memory and its slow polluted river full of cottonwood cotton. She is a little bit in love with Bria too.

If he can, in a twelve-hour period, militarily unseat another country's leader, claim control of that country, threaten to similarly take over multiple other countries, all without any Congressional involvement, Congress is dead, its power completely gone.

What is this weird stuck time of life, the year before no kids in the house, the year after doing something I always wanted to do, my parents old, me old or getting there. Stuck but racing. Still the trees at night and the orange moon half eaten by clouds. Still tomorrow.

What a beautiful way to wake up this morning. I’m a curmudgeon about politicians, but this is what leading with love looks like.

people in a lot of states are about to lose their SNAP benefits. If you are in a position to help with food aid, please do. Donate to a local food pantry, reach out to people you know who are food insecure and share meals, whatever you can do!

all these republicans claiming the private messages of their young republicans don't represent their party's ethos.
look who they elected. look what he's said on the record. look at the policy he's driving each day.
