I gotta find a crib for a toddler that this two-year-old won’t just climb out of in the middle of the night. You’d think that would be a thing, right? Weirdly tricky to search for these days, it’s almost like searching for anything on the internet has become a minefield of sponsorships and scams.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

also, like, vaccines are a zone defense and this stupid selfish "I can make my own decisions!" country is going to just shred that safety net because admitting someone knows better about ANYTHING has been painted as weakness
The end goal is eugenicist. RFK and his ilk know that this will make vaccines more expensive and time-consuming — and therefore marginalized children are most likely to fall through the cracks.

This is about killing kids who aren't born to privilege.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

I am so deeply sorry to be in the position to have to pull this lever again, but I just watched my car get towed away and I don't really know what else to do anymore.

More details in the update & description, but if you're able to help out or share, we would be grateful beyond words.

“School shootings are normalized. The lack of gun laws has created a violence epidemic here in the United States that is nowhere else in the world. This is domestic errorism.”

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Bluesky, I never do this, but we need your help.

This beautiful cat is suffering, and we need your support. She has a condition called “the bedroom door is closed”. Symptoms include “being mad” and “SCREAM”.

With just a few thousand donations or likes we can find a cure by opening the door.

that being said nobody is more bloodthirsty and radical than a white guy in a suit
Larry and David Ellison's extremism flies under the radar because they both look so normal.

“can you explain the gaps in your resume” yeah, the gaps are because all the things i’m very good at are not valued by the wealthy reprobates who want to turn the entire world into their degenerate AI slave colony. hope this clears things up

Perfect read by LeBron to set up Rui for the buzzer-beat. Great job by both guys to escape Toronto with a win.

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.
