Honor the survivors.
They were children trafficked and raped by Epstein and Maxwell.
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.

Tax the rich. Tax the rich. Tax the rich.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

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.

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.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

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 lives matter too!
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.

Demanding doctors sign an attestation about providing abortion care and patient counseling or risk being removed from Oklahoma’s Medicaid threatens doctors’ privacy and patients’ access to care. It won’t improve patient care or safety, but it will hurt patients and doctors. https://bit.ly/49ofB6L

Jonathan is a preliminary surgery resident, so he needs to reapply to get another residency position, either Urology or Surgery. Residents don’t make much and he is asking for assistance. I think his chances this year are good if he can get to the interviews.
