Watching mad max always reminds me that women can do hard shit. We go through really hard things in life, often kicked down by those who are supposed to love us. We are scapegoated and overlooked & not believed but we still get up time & time again, hold our head up high and get shit done.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

I feel like when political polls are taken and their results posted the graphic in the post needs to contain the sample size, & the number of republicans, democrats and independents polled. It would help ppl understand better the numbers being given up front.

Oversight Democrats are not backing down.
If Les Wexner claims he doesn’t remember, then he needs to turn over his financial records and let the money tell the story.
Survivors deserve justice. It’s time for the cover-up to end.

Feels like now, the entire world is finding out what it’s like to be in an abusive relationship.
The gaslighting alone - you didn’t see what you saw.
Only they can protect and save you.
If you don’t comply, what happens is your fault.
If they kill you, even in public, on video, you deserved it.

I don’t know how anyone could listen to Jasmine Crockett’s full response to Jen Psaki’s question about Stephen Colbert’s interview with James Talarico and have a problem with it.
She’s keeping it real by saying it worked out well for Talarico’s campaign, which is accurate.

I just want to take a moment for the victims. These atrocities have changed the course of their whole life, which they are still dealing with today. I’m sure they didn’t get enough money either. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

While James Talarico sounds fine for senator of Texas part of me has this deep seated frustration and irritation that Jasmine Crockett is being pushed away by the media. She is superior to all the candidates. I wish we lived in a country that weren’t so stuck on white men

A lot of republicans will say that crackdowns on immigration have been successful BUT the only reason they can say that is bc immigrants never affected their lives in the first place and they probably haven’t noticed a change so they r just going on what partisan media & their politicians tell them

I feel like we wouldn’t have as many problems as we do if white generations passed down ancestry. If you ask them a lot of them have no clue where their ancestors came from. This disconnect means they are without a connection to the outside world and could make it harder to connect to other races.
