But also 'lead' and 'read' rhyme.

If you are wondering why both of these men have outlandish security details.
As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.

About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

You've got to read Trump rejecting climate science in the context of him rejecting the 2020 election results. Reality discomforts him.

There's a whole ass industry built around getting straight men to hate and weirdly fear women and it's super disturbing to see from the outside
the minute the fb algorithm clocks you as a straight man it immediately sets about trying to destroy your life & endanger those around you

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!
Black Women Are Losing Jobs At Three Times The Rate Of Other Women | Essence
New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

The overturned Calappa hurriedly buries itself back into the sand.

In Japan, when we feel embarrassed,
we say, “I wish the earth would swallow me up.”
Luckily for a Calappa, it can dive into the sand even when there’s no hole to hide in 🦀,,

This thread is just infuriating.

Assuming the loyal footsoldiers signing the forms shuffling detainees around to avoid habeas petitions are probably too low on the hierarchy to get pardons, I wonder if post-Trump it might be possible to go after them with a 'Conspiracy against Rights' charge.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
