“Screen time coaches” and tech-detox camps for teens. You cannot make this up. Anyone doubting that social media is just another word for crack?
Frazzled parents turn to screen-time coaches, $8,000 detox camps to rein in kids’ tech
Parents trying to raise their kids in a tech-saturated world are getting overwhelmed with the amount of work and fighting it takes to protect kids, which can be a full-time job.

“Nothing to hide,” says lying Speaker who delayed calling the House into session for 2 months exactly because he had everything to hide.
Trump does Epstein U-turn as House Republicans prepare to spurn him
Before the reversal, even some House GOP leaders were mulling whether to support the effort to release DOJ files dealing with the late sex offender.

Imagine such mental fragility that they (attempt to) illegally defund hundreds of millions in Congressionally approved grants. If these monsters were alive in 1865, they would have called the abolition of slavery as “racism”, too, saying it was anti-white. You see how they (try to) gaslight us?

Try telling Millennials that, just a few years before they were born, their moms could not get a credit card on their own (ended in 1974) or that non-whites could be legally prevented from buying houses in white neighborhoods (ended in 1974 also). They will be amazed. Now, we are going backwards.

Listening to sympathetic Dem pundits trying to the defection of 8 of Dem senators. Among the unlikely scenarios: It was all calculated to force Johnson to reopen the House & seat the new AZ rep, the final vote to release the Epstein files. Folks, they will absolutely scrub Donny from that file.

Disgraced ex-County Clerk (Morehead KY) Kim Davis has finally lost all the way, turned down by SCOTUS on appeal of paying the legal fees for the two men who successfully sued her for not issuing their (legal) marriage license. She now owes a lot of money and has no exit save going back to jail.

I am *totally* feeling such empathy for poor little Amy who wants us to know she suffered so mightily in law school. Apparently, she fought as a “feminist”, far-right Conservative and devout Catholic who resists the terrible liberal tide by…falling in line with misogynists.

This is Julie Fancelli. She is a Florida heiress to her father’s Publix supermarket fortune. Julie loves Donald Trump and helped underwrite the January 6 insurrection. Now Julie is watching daddy’s Publix shares crash as Trump kills SNAP benefits to Publix shoppers across the (very red) Southeast.

Sociopaths have a significant lack of empathy, especially affective empathy, which is the ability to feel what others are feeling. They struggle to emotionally resonate with others' experiences, leading to a disregard for the harm their actions cause and making them prone to manipulative behavior.

Remember that 9 year old bully in elementary school who took food from the other kids, spilled a coke on the kid in the wheelchair & then complained that the new Black kid was the problem? There are 77 million of them now & they all voted in 2024. You are the adults. You know what to do. Stand up.

Oh, friends, I bring Good News. Last night, despite getting shellacked in elections from coast-to-coast, the Republicans are not going to change a thing. They are chained to the rotting corpse of Trump. Why is that good news? We proved we don’t need them to win, the heroes arrived and it is Us.

3 weeks ago we sent hundreds of postcards to Dem voters in NJ. We were not alone: tens of thousands of NJ-bound postcards were sent by volunteers like us. Tonight, Sherrill won in a landslide. It only takes a few hours of your time & a roll of stamps. (Here is the link: turnoutpac.org/postcards/ )

Tell us for the 100th time that you’ve got a better plan than the ACA? Of course, there is no plan. He lied from 2015 to 2020 and he’s lying again. Trump learned from his dad Fred, a shameless slumlord, racist, and law-dodging criminal who promised deals that never happened, just like his Donny.

His favorite Bible story: when Jesus refuses to distribute the loaves and fishes in order to teach self-reliance, and then mocks the hungry by eating the food in front of them. Classic Jesus. (Photo below: He threw a huge ‘Gatsby’ party for his buddies just hours before SNAP benefits expired.)
