That’s all I could say too. Sigh

Sigh They’re using recordings of crying women and children to lure in civilians who try to help so drones can shoot them. Just wow…

Oh, so one of the cities with the lowest levels of racial equality also has a problem with transphobia? I’m not shocked, I’m not surprised. Between this and the people in Springfield Ohio instilling fear in the towns Haitian residents, I will never understand how people can become so hateful.

I got mine at 26 back in 2016, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The peace of mind that my partner and I would never have an unplanned pregnancy has been phenomenal especially since we live in a very red state. And if we change our minds about not having kids, we can always adopt or do foster care.

Remember to go get checked twice to make sure that there’s no more sperm. Men who don’t get confirmation from their doctor have gotten women pregnant. It’s rare, but it does happen. I hope you have a quick and easy recovery.

Reminder to everyone, college and university didn’t used to cost verymuch. Governor of California Ronald Reagan didn’t like the Vietnam War protests happening on University of California campuses and decided to change the university funding model to make students pay a lot more for their education and reduce the number of protesters. President Nixon saw this and asked for advice to stop college protests nationwide.

Posting if anyone is curious because the USA has been involved in a hell of a lot of coups. Mostly overthrowing democratically elected governments that were in the style of the USA’s own FDR era to be replaced by murderous fascist military dictatorships who are pro American business and anti-worker -civil rights -democratic.

United States involvement in regime change

And after the coups happen, American officials celebrate them as a win for democracy and freedom.

Inside the home, police say, officers found Durham and the suspect, identified as Alejandra Boudreaux, struggling over a knife and an officer-involved shooting occurred.

Sounds like the cop just happened to be there. And a gun unrelated to the officer aimed itself at the home’s resident. And the gun fired all by itself. Wow I hate when they use this kind of language, just say what’s written in the headline!

I’m thinking similarly and that the Democrats will use the Senate filibuster to block as many things as they can. Of course, conservatives may end up changing the filibuster and ram through all their terrible policies, then they’d only have until the midterms to pass all the crazy stuff they want to pass. Unless they figure out an illegitimate way to stay in power and go full fascist authoritarian on us. No matter what, the next few years are gonna be terrible.

Don’t worry, they’re all gonna feel the pain when the plans for tariffs, deportations, and budget cuts are implemented and everything costs more (so much is imported and no Americans are going to pick crops) and everyone has less money (they’re looking at benefits, VA, and federal employment cuts). Maybe they’ll cry He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting. but my hope is they learn who to never elect again at all levels of government.

It’s going to be a rough 2 years until the midterms when we flip one of the chambers of Congress and stop any more insanity, but we’ll survive. And if we do what we can, we’ll get back what’s ours and then some in 4 years.

Hegseth’s attorney said a payment was made to the woman as part of a confidential settlement a few years after the police investigation because Hegseth was concerned that she was prepared to file a lawsuit that he feared could have resulted in him being fired from Fox News, where he was a popular host. The attorney would not reveal the amount of the payment.

Well… that says a lot all on its own. Why the hell do they keep picking people who are not normal!

I can’t help but think Trump’s slogan should have been Make America Weak and Miserable. Everything they’re planning on doing is going to be terrible for the country domestically.

Tania Cepero López, a faculty union leader, isn’t a caricature of a leftist university professor. An English instructor at Florida International University, she has voted for Republicans and is married to a conservative Republican.

…

She has watched in horror in recent years, she said, as she saw the same government interference into education in the United States that she experienced in her native Cuba.

I hope Tania and her husband learned something from this. Who am I kidding, they’ll probably support and vote for Republicans down ballot and wonder why things are getting worse. Good luck to the students of conservative run states.

Hell yeah! Sounds like they made a traditional STALKER game but with modern graphics. I’m so glad we get to experience more of the Zone.

I got a vasectomy as soon as I could which was at 26. I would have done it sooner but I had insurance problems and was broke before that. It was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself.

Dude just watched A Scanner Darkly and stole the idea.

For companies in Springfield and in nearby communities that depend on Haitian labor, Trump’s comments could prove damaging. The Haitians who filled thousands of jobs at area packaging and auto plants have helped rejuvenate once-blighted neighborhoods and contributed to the local economy in myriad ways.

…

“I pay thousands of dollars in income and property taxes every year,” said Payen, “and – because I work with Haitians to file their taxes – I see their W-2s and so on. If these people leave, that money is gone from the city and the local economy.”

Looks like the city is gonna get rusty and decay again. I wish Haitians the best of luck in finding new homes, jobs, and starting new businesses elsewhere.

Pike allegedly reached for an object on the nightstand while still holding Destinii, when an officer shot the baby in the head and grazed Pike’s neck with the first shot

Greenfield said Pike didn’t have a knife in her hand in the closet, but thinks she may have reached for a knife when the first shot was fired. Pike allegedly attempted to get off the bed. Then a second shot was fired at her, Greenfield said.

Specifically about veterans’ healthcare: Veterans surveyed supported Trump 61% to 37% Harris with 2% undecided. And it’s not like the plan to screw up VA benefits was hidden, it was there in Project 2025.

Not once did I see the descriptor “Hamas run.” It’s about goddamn time Western media started moving away from that to cast aspersions on the truthfulness of Gazan government statements.

Also,

A UN report this week said that nearly 70% of the people killed in the war in Gaza have been women and children.

They’ll just make a whole lot of stuff illegal, selectively enforce those laws, and BOOM increase the prison slave population. Hell, the South did it after the Civil War to get it’s slave labor back, how hard would it be to do nationwide now.
