I'm a man and MY uterus just slammed shut 🤷🏽‍♂️.
Trump: "We're gonna have tremendous goodies in the bag for women too. The women, between the fertilization and all the other things we're talking about, it's gonna be great. Fertilization. I'm still very proud of it, I don't care. I'll be known as the fertilization president and that's okay."

That plan to strip Hungary of EU voting rights is certainly looking attractive now. One fascist state supporting another.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Who knew that the kryptonite of white mediocracy was just a few underpaid peoples of color, even fewer trans athletes and the basic concept of empathy we call DEI. That's all it takes to bring down that edifice of mediocrity and fragility.

“There is no plan; there is only whim and instinct,” she explained. “There is no international orientation either, just a series of hasty unplanned, unexamined decisions, followed by Twitter tantrums.”
New details make Trump’s radical Gaza plan look worse, not better

Can all us liberals stop comparing the actions of the MAGA repubs to what Christ preached? We know there isn't any coherence. We know that these K-mart Crusaders have a vision that has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus.
