Release the Epstein files and hold every pedophile predator accountable.

Folks, if you absolutely must talk about rape and pedophiles and sex with children, you have to actually spell out the words.
This is not TikTok. The algorithm isn't going to censor you.
But if you type "p3d0phi|e" you're going to force someone who has that word muted to see your post.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.
It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

News outlets are reporting this as the 1st alpha-gal allergy-related death. It's not; there have been reported deaths for years from cancer treatments (like cetuximab) that contain the molecule. But it may be the 1st death from ingesting beef. Be careful, AG folks.

Read this thread. If the cops don't have a duty to protect you, their only purpose is to be used against you.
In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

Just a reminder that even if/when SNAP benefits start flowing again, the crisis for food banks will not be over. They'll still have low inventory and many SNAP recipients will also be stocking up on items. And then you add on the typical holiday rush. The need will continue to be great.

When prices rise because *demand* is hot, wages usually follow. When prices rise because tariffs raise costs -- a *supply* shock -- there’s no reason paychecks catch up. That’s why tariff inflation hurts a whole heckuva lot more. It's a permanent reduction in living standards.

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago.
Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months.

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.
