Recently moved from SC, where a man pulled a gun on me because I said I do not like nor support the Orange Turd.
Don’t ask me for money.

Exactly. The "alpha males" are such chickens: scared of immigrants, scared of trans women (probably worried they'll be attracted to them, oh nooos), scared of criticism (which they call censorship or canceling), scared of showing their faces when playing war on Americans, etc etc
The patriarchy is as damaging for men as it is for women.
Matt Haig, an accomplished author and journalist who’s written fiction and nonfiction lays it out clearly here.
The pressure on boys to harden themselves into unfeeling caricatures is real, and it hurts everyone.
Resist it.👇

And, if you are a non-US citizen who did this work, you and your entire family will be banned from the United States. (I know this is incredible, but read the order—that’s what it says!)
If you were a tech company employee who moderated content overseas — say, trying to prevent a repeat of the Myanmar genocide! or maybe policing CSAM! Or hate speech illegal in your country! — you are a “censor” under the definitions of the Republicans in power.

It is simply not politically or economically tenable for California and New York to fund the federal government while Trump tries to kneecap the states.
In January, Donald Trump looked me in the eye on the tarmac, promising Angelenos that he'd help rebuild after the firestorms.
11 months later, he still hasn't delivered.
That's why I'm headed to D.C. to push for a long-overdue federal aid package for survivors.

Rental car companies: cease renting any cars to ice.
Police agencies: detain, investigate and arrest ice personnel when plate swapping is detected.
You know, fucking do your jobs. Agencies who collude with ice in a legal activity should have all funding canceled and returned to State.

When I learned about WWII as a kid I wondered how people could be so void of empathy & humanity to do what they did to millions of innocent people.
It didn't start as concentration or death camps. It began as "they don't belong here" with gov propaganda to normalize stripping people of citizenship.

The world now knows The United States can not longer be trusted to hold up their end of any deal. This includes even after the tRump regime ends. World leaders now know that the US has a broken political system which not only elects spineless congressional politicians, but also RE-ELECTS sociopaths.
US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau today slammed European NATO allies for prioritizing their own defense industry over American arms suppliers, according to three NATO diplomats.

After beating Evangelicals over the head with "late term abortion", Republicans bludgeoned them with "born alive".
Even the Taliban can't believe how many "freedom-loving" American women fell for GOP lies that deprived them of the fundamental right to control their own bodies.

ACA premium tax credits are set to expire in just weeks, which would mean devastating premium hikes for millions of families. I am ready to work with all my colleagues in Congress and urge Republicans to come to the table to extend these subsidies and lower healthcare costs before it is too late.

Millions of Americans will see a big jump in prices after year's end – if a bipartisan agreement remains elusive to keep costs down.
