The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own
America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.

The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.
Government of pedophiles. They're all tainted with this for the rest of their lives.

I think we can all agree it’s time for fireworks to become 100% illegal. Let’s ban fireworks everywhere in 2026

People discover that influenza is no joke….. did u know influenza was its own global pandemic and that the REASON we push the flu shot is that it can still kill you???? And kills many people every year? The flu has NEVER been a joke; get your flu shot, it can dramatically reduce the severity

Two truths that must coexist for liberation:

Being single, celibate, and/or childfree doesn't make you less human.

Being partnered, sexually active, and/or a parent doesn't make you less aro/ace.

There is no gold star to gatekeep, no qualifications for entry, or vow for either.
While aromantic and asexual people can have healthy partnerships, centering our acceptance and quality of life around that idea does more harm than good. We are deserving of respect and inclusion regardless of how we interact with intimacy and the actions associated with it

Idk how else to express that everyone writing for the Atlantic needs to shut the fuck up forever
Why have Americans become so mean, sad, and alienated? The answer is simple, @nytdavidbrooks argues. People no longer grow up learning how to be decent to one another: bit.ly/4qskLny

obviously this is all very bad and upsetting, but mostly it is so so so stupid, which is what I'm sort of stuck on

Evangelical this, exvangelical that, no one is talking about the mainline exhaustion of holding your tongue around people who haaaate Trump and think the solution is another great president *everyone* loves "like Ronald Reagan!" 🫠

I’d been so torn all of my life between pleasing people, being special in a good, lovable way, and knowing I was also rare in a dangerous, paradigm-shifting, norm-breaking way.

Show yourself
There is a difference between being special and being rare.

Here too! Annual tradition.

"It's strange isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives..."
time to watch It’s A Wonderful Life and cry my eyes out!

These are very good and I do recommend them (except I haven't been able to find the Firefighters one available in the US anywhere and it's not on the site they link to).

However. The Christmas Writer on Tello is the best of 2025, imo. Loved the Christmas Baby too, and all are worth watching.

It's really insane to me how popular A Christmas Carol still is, in a culture that would largely side with pre-redemption Scrooge.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Steves purchased the property to prevent it from closing. Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free on the property since 2020. n.pr/3MKbmJH

Yes to everything Jenna said, and
6. God is not willing that any should perish. All are loved, and all are welcome
Which is weird, because my religion is about:
1. The first shall be last, the meek inherit, the mighty are brought low
2. Every tribe, tongue, and nation
3. The hungry are filed with good things and the rich are turned away empty
4. Upside-down Kingdom of humility
5. Embrace of Truth and grace
Research shows “Christian nation” language signals:

1. 👑 Desire for traditional social hierarchies
2. 🚧 Commitment to strong ethno-racial boundaries
3. 💰 Idealizing free-market capitalism
4. 🔒 Preference for authoritarian social control
5. 🌀 Embrace of populism, victimhood & conspiracies

You have heard it said, “America first” and “Make America Great Again” but I say to you that the first shall be last & those who exalt themselves shall be thrown down, their thrones trampled into the dust, for such is the will of my Father in heaven who raises up the poor and lowly
