remember when most of Congress went hard after Backpage in early 2018 but did nothing to actually help young people who are poor, homeless, and trying to get by

I just want to note that "barely legal" and "15-year-old" are not equivalent terms, even inside the putrid logic she's trying to apply here.

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.

It was strangled in its cradle by powerful people who didn't want to be subjected to its searching gaze. It didn't go even close to far enough.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Incredible how much dirt the Dems had on Trump and never used it 'cause the Epstein case hits a bunch of their own guys. Their donor class and the guys they advance as major candidates have so much more in common with him than with you.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I can say with 100% certainty that the legalization of thc beverages in minnesota allowed me to stop drinking booze and saved me from continuing a cycle of substance abuse trauma. please don’t let the puritans take that away.
health-wise, the emergence of the canna-beverage industries have been a great addition to the N/A beverages market for those who have cut alcohol out of their lives or cut back on drinking, but still want some level of "normalized" experience when going to a bar or music venue or whatever.

Israelis attacked Palestinian water sources over 250 times in five years, data reveals
Armed forces and settlers used bombs, dogs, poison and machinery to attack people and infrastructure at key sites
Israeli armed forces and settlers have attacked Palestinian water sources more than 250 times in the past five years, amounting to the most sustained assault on civilian water supplies in recent years, new research reveals.
Bombs, dogs, poison and heavy machinery were among the weapons used to attack Palestinians and their infrastructure at drinking water, irrigation and sanitation sites in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip on at least 90 occasions between January 2024 and mid-2025, according to the Pacific Institute, a California-based nonpartisan thinktank tracking water conflicts.

To be a U.S. Senator is to be an institutionalist. Even Bernie Sanders cares more about his role and friendships in the senate than he does about his ideological project. If ideology came first he would lead the charge on ousting Schumer. But that’s his friend.

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.
Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.
In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.
Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”
