One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

'Barely legal' is a wild and messed-up term with an astounding amount of baggage that I invite people to stop using, especially in the context of the exploitation of children and teens.

An astounding answer by Kash Patel that flies in the face of the statements by multiple survivors.
Kash Patel says the FBI has NO information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to anyone other than himself.
SEN. KENNEDY: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?"
PATEL: "There is no credible information, none ... that he trafficked to other individuals."

Oh hey it’s exactly the thing I fucking told you about and people said “you’re being alarmist” and its happening now
Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material
The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

Remember Nory and her mom Estela? Here’s the devastating update.
ICE took Estela’s blood pressure meds when they deported her. She was too afraid to leave home for refills because the same gangs that beat her in Guatemala were still waiting.
She died at 45 because she didn’t have her medication.

Attiah didn’t reference Kirk by name, but she also said to a commenter that “refusing to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is… not the same as violence.”

We don’t have to send them to Russia (Ukraine would’ve been a better example). We can just send them to Florida where childhood vaccines aren’t required anymore.

BREAKING: In Chicago, Illinois—U.S. citizens protesting ICE were dragged into vans by masked federal agents with no badges and no warrants.
People screamed: “Who are you? Where are you taking them?”
This is authoritarian control in real time.

The greatest indictment of the US education system is that it produced, apparently, the dumbest generation of humans in history. They, somehow, went through 12 grades and came out dumber.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded.
These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.
