Do you want to see the best takedown of Megyn Kelly? Watch an actual 14 year old give an open message to Megyn about how horrible she is. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMTpjmpn/
Here’s a reminder from an actual 14 year old about what a child even IS. If adults are out here debating the “acceptable age” of abuse, then kids aren’t the ones who need to grow up. ✨sources✨ https:/...

our crossing guards do mission impossible and I am so thankful for all of them, but JFC the fact that we need "Guards" to simply ensure drivers don't run over school children?
This is what is so twisted about our auto obsessed culture that we don't even see how we've completely normalized this.

It super sucks. All the doctors are using them now & I really hate saying 'no, thank you' when I'm asked if it's ok for them to use assistive note-taking. I know they have a lot on their plates & I'm sure scheduling has tightened to 'allow' for the use of this new tech. But ew.

It's ok to say no.

By my calculations according to her Wiki article, Megyn Kelly has a daughter who's around 14/15.

I wonder how she would feel if her own daughter was subject to the attentions of a grown man.

Epstein & friends were/are child rapists. There's no weaseling that, nor excusing it 😡
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Oh so *that's* why I got a 'your stars are expiring!!' email out of the blue 😹

Suck it, Sbux. Pay your workers (and let them organize!)

Friends, don't cross those picket lines today. Make your coffee at home or try out someone else 💚
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

What the actual?! This is wild.

Everyone needs to know that our current administration is making literal two year old children 'represent' themselves in immigration court.

Absolutely evil.
This is so deeply cruel and unjust.

This seems important 😬
During his campaign, Trump (& RFK) promised to rein in the use of dangerous pesticides, but the EPA has loosened oversight and is accelerating pesticide approvals.

Notably, the top 4 positions in the new Trump EPA’s chemical safety office are held by former pesticide and chemical industry lobbyists

Critics say that fifth Pfas Trump’s EPA has proposed for approval this year would put food and water supply at risk

ASKING OUR REPRESENTATIVES TO ACTUALLY REPRESENT US IS NOT FIGHTING IT’S JUST ASKING YOU TO DO THE FUCKING JOB WE PAY YOU FOR
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

How come it's only "unity" when party leaders like it, and not when the actual electorate does? Looking at what happened in NYC recently & scratching my head.

Feels like rather than unity you want us to fall in line?

Run better candidates, make better policy, stand up & fight.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Stuff like this empowers the worst people to exercise their worst impulses. Some 57 year old white lady is going to report a 24 yr old who’s just trying to pay her fucking rent with a 3rd job for not smiling and get her fired because her manager is an asshole. Gross. Keep boycotting.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

😹 This was kind of my first thought on hearing her announcement on NPR today. Like, did she not just witness the mayoral election? And I know NY state is more than NYC, but...I don't feel like that electorate is super open to Republican ideology at this moment.
I don’t know what kind of cocaína
Elise Stefanik is on, but I promise you, she’s not going to become the Governor of New York.

We’re a Democratic majority.

We will NEVER vote for a Donald Trump sycophant and member of MAGA.

This is why we need to tax the rich. Honestly, the 'Golden Age' of America that so many people are nostalgic for was brought about by the wealthy paying their fair share. We had a reasonable social safety net. An actual living wage. Affordable higher education. (and yes- a lot of that was gatekept..
Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Yeah sorry. This has a clear and unequivocal answer and anybody who is not a WS wouldn't hesitate for even a second to distance themselves from that ideology immediately.

A non-answer is nearly as loud as a resounding endorsement, honestly.
People defending Sydney Sweeney saying she didn't actually say anything bad and was just deflecting...if the question is "do you condemn white supremacy" or "do you think white supremacy is bad" then refusing to answer is endorsing white supremacy

I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college:
“What did Watson and Crick discover?”
“Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
