A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

My mother had to have her job fix her schedule so she could start picking me up from high school because of this shit.
Ages 12-17 are the absolute worst. Grown men would see me with my backpack on and still try to talk to me 🤢
The days of being called jail bait <<<<
There was a man in my neighborhood that would ask me if I was 18 yet every time he saw me from age 15 until I actually turned 18

It really seems like Carney is trying to lock us into relationships that we will not be able to extricate ourselves from in order to ensure we ourselves are locked into his vision of austerity, authoritarianism, and corporate sovereignty for decades.

NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis, like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, openly advocates taxing the rich in order to provide benefits for ordinary people. Now there’s a wild idea.

There is no material difference in the rates of loneliness for men and women. We are all suffering!
The difference is that men make their loneliness everyone else's goddamn problem and that includes turning it into anger and violence.
But the solution isn't "stop talking about toxic masculinity"

This is also something that Dem governors also either don't understand, or pretend not to. "Come visit us! We're nice and we also hate tariffs and Trump!" Yes, and ICE operates in your states too, so...?
It is very weird when US media does not report on the safety concerns, which are top of the list for Canadians I know. Yeah we are also pissed off but we've been pissed off since January, the decline was not gonna keep declining based purely on "elbows up."
I legitimately think this article misses the mark, because Canadians are not avoiding travel out of some principled boycott of the USA over tariffs.
Canadians who are avoiding the USA are seeing images of masked government thugs kidnapping people and teargassing children.
