Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.
Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,
BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

The flooding that devastated Central Texas was the country’s deadliest catastrophe for children in recent memory. More than a quarter of the people who died — at least 133 at last count — were still in elementary school.

Funny, non of the "Israel has a right to defend itself" crowd are saying "Iran has a right to defend itself".
Maybe they don't give a living shit about rights and international norms after all?

We are going to have to endure the noise of people who have been silent about the bombing of civilians in Gaza working themselves into outrage at the bombing of civilians in Israel. We're even going to hear the perpetrators of Gaza murders and the instigators of the bombing of Iran doing so.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

After indicating that he supports getting rid of free school lunches and funding for childhood cancer research, Rep. Rich McCormick refers to RFK Jr as "JFK Jr" and asks, "when in history have we had our poorest people also be our fattest people?" Total clown show.

It was never about "criminals" at all. It's about scooping up as many brown people as possible, meeting arrest quotas, and getting video of them being herded on to planes. Just take a step back and imagine it in black and white but a railroad car instead of a C-17.
