The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.
A man pardoned by Donald Trump for his role in January 6th - he assaulted Capitol Police officers with bear spray & a metal whip - has avoided prison for child sex crimes because of the president’s sweeping pardon, despite pleading guilty to soliciting what he believed was a 15-year-old girl for sex

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

in Paris, I had to see a same-day doctor & I found one. was gravely warned that, as a foreigner, I’d have to pay 32 euros & I laughed & laughed
a friend there said “make sure you get X kind of doctor, not Y, because the Y kind charges 74 WHOLE EUROS” & once again I bitterly, bitterly laughed 😭

Also, the HHS Secretary sold cocaine in college and was a heroin addict for 14 years so it is RICH whenever they go after people for old drug offenses.
Even if you don’t care about people who use drugs - you really should care about other people - they will still just lie that you are a person who uses drugs when they want other people not to care about you
After José's arrest sparked outrage in August, DHS attacked him in a press release, calling him a "criminal illegal alien, not a firefighter." DHS has cited a 12-year-old drug delivery charge while failing to acknowledge the charge was dismissed.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

i'm at a point where i find the psychics less ridiculous than the use of generative AI. that should have been immediately disqualifying.

Safe travels to Nakadai Tatsuya (1932-2025), the great, great Japanese actor of both film and stage, who disappeared into every role he played. It's hard to imagine any story of Japanese cinema without him.

Pra vcs verem o nível q chegou a transfobia mundial y como está - conforme alertamos - ultrapassando as próprias pessoas trans y atingindo o gênero em si: Como n tem dados, os transfóbicos estão n só inventando como usando pessoas cis cuja aparência de gênero n condiz com a cisgeneridade padrão.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

i've wondered for decades now why so many of these happen specifically in California. this is nuts.
A woman stole a minivan on Monday and led police on a chase for hours across Southern California, swerving around spike strips before escaping across the Mexico border. The dramatic pursuit spanned four counties and reached speeds of 90 miles per hour.
