1990’s US. I was separated from my husband and was going to purchase a home for which I financially qualified. I was not allowed to purchase because my estranged husband had to agree before I could purchase a home in my own name. I couldn’t get the house.
They want to hold us down & it starts with name calling like “nasty” & “piggy”.

Reup: One thing EVERYONE is missing abt the two things that went down last week--Bondi bowing to Trump's demand for an investigation of Dems, and her re-ratification of the Comey indictment--is how vulnerable Bondi is, both politically and legally.

Pam Bondi's obeisance to Trump's demand she conduct a frivolous investigation into Democrats to make his own Epstein scandal go away may be a gift to Jim Comey.

A federal jury seated in Nashville spent four weeks of their lives listening to testimony about Glen Casada, once the third most powerful person in Tennessee, before finding him guilty on 14 counts of corruption. A pardon from President Donald Trump had wiped Casada's slate clean: justice is dead.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Commentary: With former House Speaker Glen Casada, corruption is not a bug but a feature. He hasn’t faced injustice: he’s faced no justice for his wanton misuse of public office, writes Editor @jhollymc.bsky.social.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Wow — Casada wasn’t the only Tennessee Republican getting a Trump pardon. @RepHarshbarger got him to pardon her health care fraud husband too.

Kelsey, Casada, Harshbarger… Tennessee Republicans working those pardons hard.

The law no longer applies to them in the Trump era.

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

I see the sweet face of Tamir Rice every time they pull this crap. A 12 year old playing with a clearly toy gun get shot within seconds of police showing up. It makes me sick. These creeps are not kids.
Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s.

📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.
