I do not believe in god, but I do believe in natural spirit - the earth, the animals, everything that is given to us to live life. It cannot be stopped. It is all powerful unlike the people who claim dominion. It is here for us all. Find it and live in it.

If they’re estranged, did the Trump Administration do Leavitt’s brother a favor and get rid of her? An appalling suggestion, but these people are appalling.

All caveats about polls being assumed... even among 'men', the view of trans people is somewhere between 'positive' to 'don't care' for 69%, which just goes to show the insanity (aside from the cruelty) of targeting trans people for political points.
Reminder that lesbians have a more positive view of trans people than trans people do

Politicians and pundits use "public opinion" and "the voters" as ways of talking about what they want to do, similar to how religious people project their own intuitions onto their deities. Also similar: the deities in both cases may be safely ignored when convenient.

A lot of things click into place when you realise that almost ALL mainstream discourse about electoral politics, voters, public opinion, etc, is actually just the clients and representatives of the ruling classes talking to themselves about how best to serve capital.

I wrote about "Quiet, Piggy," natalist movements, the denigration of women in authoritarian societies, the ways that women were treated not so long ago in the workplace (including me), and how you can push back against all that.

I read her new book “Man Up”. I highly recommend it. It’s timely with the rise of patriarchy and fascism and the misogyny that is a driving force for both.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been personally linked to the brutal ICE raids sweeping America.

The mother of her 11-year-old nephew is now in custody at an ICE facility, facing deportation to Brazil. She’s the former fiancée of Michael Leavitt, the press secretary’s brother.

Pretty interesting and telling that the ICE agent who points his rifle at the person immediately gets dragged off by two unmasked officers from some unnamed agency like they were worried about this untrained idiot in their midst.

So "Secretary" Hegseth...

here's a picture of Captain Mark Kelly w/NO medals. Care to make a comment about that?

The medals in the pic you are talking about appear reversed BECAUSE IT'S A MIRROR IMAGE

Truly, is there any possible way left to further debase yourself?

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime.

And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.

Abolishing ICE is only the beginning. Have you looked at your local cops?

According to mappingpoliceviolence.us, police kill at least three people per day; from a meta analysis published in NYT, we now know the number could be six or even more.
