Jesse Butler raped & strangled two girls…
One ended up in hospital.
He managed a plea deal as a “youthful offender”. He was 17.
He won’t serve time.
How come Jesse avoids jail time because he’s a “kid”… yet the Epstein survivors are being reframed as women?

The daily onslaught of actual antisemitism side by side w/ bad faith weaponization of antisemitism really is impacting Jews standing against the genocide. We are fighting the weaponization but we’re fighting antisemitism directed at us too. Please stop saying antisemitism isn’t an issue in the US

Good for him. He's turning out to be a quite decent guy. No you're not going to agree with him about everything but he's a good human being (so was Pope Francis) and he's been standing up to Trump, too.
Pope Leo returns 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada
The Vatican returned 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada, a historic restitution that is part of the Catholic Church's reckoning with its role in helping suppress Indigenous culture.

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

A queer man rising to the ranks among the establishment dems and then turning around and using his political platform to throw other minorities and marginalized communities under the bus. I am shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED 😐
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25

They tried to overthrow the government for an election fraud conspiracy but Trump refusing to release the Epstein files? *Crickets*
One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

“Women these days don’t want to have children.”
Well, we don’t actually know if women in the past wanted to. Nobody asked them, least of all their husbands.

Nothing angers people more than a single and childfree woman who has no regrets about being single and childfree. We get called bitter, masculine and everything but children of God. The concept of a woman being happy with herself is a concept so foreign to people (men and women alike).

Protecting Trump is not an easy job. It's not for the faint of heart, or anyone with an ethical character.

"If there’s an open, active investigation, the DOJ can say, 'Sorry, we can’t release evidence, it’s part of an ongoing case.' That becomes the perfect excuse not to hand over documents to Congress, not to cooperate with subpoenas, not to let the American people see what’s really in those files."
