What's really infuriating is as these train wrecks shield Trump from consequences, you know they're keeping their children far away from creepy uncle grandpa.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

This is why I think victims of pedophiles should get to mete out the punishment directly. What the f**k indeed.
What the f**k is this.

They gave a Ghislaine Maxwell a puppy.

A creature trained to heal trauma, handed to the architect of it.

This isn’t justice. It is mercy masquerading as order. It is the choreography of compassion for someone who built a marketplace of pain.

I took a sorta-break today for self-care. Here's a picture of the brown butter Earl Grey cookies I made, and one of Ponzu after trying to jump scare me as I was lying in bed typing this. Miso continues to shun internet fame, I'm afraid.

The most dangerous people you can be spending time around at this point, are those who say, "I'll never quit fighting," but then, the moment something "bad" happens...instantly step into, "OMG. We're f*cked. It's all over." These people are like poison to your mind and emotions. Stay away.

Only ACA are just Gov't Subsidies for Healthcare Executives and Shareholders, it is not Holding down the Price of Healthcare in the U.S. it is the Policy causing Healthcare Costs to Skyrocket along with MC and MC Adv, I feel like the Corporate Duopoly has to Die. #M4A

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

My level of shock with Trump lackeys bottomed out months ago but seriously. What the hell makes someone go along with this?

As someone who has managed to not cross a picket line even when it was nearly all the grocery stores in the metro area on strike, really don't wanna hear anyone talking about how they just HAVE to cross the Starbucks picket line. This is like the easiest solidarity ever.

If you're a manager and ICE shows up at your place of employment, you know someone called them and you probably know who it was.

Start cutting that person before they become a problem and watch productivity + morale increase.

Friend of a friend dropped this on another platform, definitely taking it to Thanksgiving in rural Nebraska if we decide to attend.
