plenary #adoption, and the industry that brokers adoptions, are capitalism’s way of exploiting, rather than addressing, morally inexcusable social inequality and precarity to provide affluent people a marketplace to acquire a coveted source of social wealth: children.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I think it’s important that impunity be the takeaway from these emails. Epstein, Trump and the rest act with indifference to morality and the law, because they do not believe they will ever face consequences. They are right to believe that. Decades of elite effort have assured them of it.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

I cannot believe I am unconditionally endorsing a message from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, but here we are, Father Bob was better at the dark arts of Church politics than anyone could have guessed.

There’s this wildly capitalistic and incredibly poisonous idea sitting at the heart of much of modern society that dictates that were it not for imposed authority, people would immediately descend into barbarism. The concept is as cynical as it is fucking dumb

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.
