Just adding to the heinous list. There were hundreds of names on the secret list of abusive pastors maintained by the Southern Baptist Church which was partially released in 2022. It made big news for a couple weeks and was promptly forgotten.
Even though I live in the US, it is kinda nice to see this country finally get its comeuppance for a century of ruining the homes of my brethren. 'Oh, your democratically elected government or leader is to the left of Ronald [the Fucker] Reagan? You get a coup. You get an assassination. All of you get a fascist murderous right wing military dictatorship that will kill, torture, SA, and steal the children of tens of thousands of people, set back the economy and lower the standard of living for generations. We will feel just a fraction of the pain caused by our government and the people who supported, and still support, its policies.
It’s like they all learned the wrong lessons from Kent State. It’s only a matter of time before paramilitaries “accidentally” kill demonstrators for the highest crime of being on the right side of history.
Alabama tried this in the early 2010’s and the results were great for the state. Fields were left with crops rotting because they weren’t harvested, home building slowed, meat processing slowed, people stopped cooperating with police, they arrested a Mercedes Benz exec and a Japanese Toyota employee for not having a driver’s license which I’m sure encouraged those manufacturers to expand factories in the state. Business leaders, churches, and so many others hated it.
Did they learn? Apparently fucking not. Buckle up because they’re taking it nationwide and the ride is gonna be awful. I’ve already bought 200lbs of rice and beans and a bunch of shelf stable items because I fully expect food costs to skyrocket. I advise everyone do the same because undocumented people do so much that can’t easily be seen.
Alabama immigration: crops rot as workers vanish to avoid crackdown
That was a great article! I’m not shocked to see it’s been known for decades. And adding an extra layer of fucked up, keeping schools segregated (private religious ones anyway) is also tied to the anti-choice movement and the rise of the religious right. Here’s an article for more information.
Gotta love how most bad things in America can be directly attributed to Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, racism, or a combination of them.
Lt. Caleb Stewart is an absolute piece of microwaved dog shit.
He has issued the majority of the citations for unlawful camping in Louisville.
…
Once in the police vehicle, Stewart narrated to *himself as his body camera recorded his comments. “So I don’t for a second believe that this woman is going into labor,” he said.
…
In his police report, Stewart did not reference the pregnancy or her immediate departure in an ambulance. He simply wrote: “Ofc. observed listed subject camping underneath the interstate bridge at listed location by utilizing camping paraphernalia (mattress, blanket, pillow as bedding).
…
In January, Stewart received a commendation from the department for responding to “issues related to the houseless population” with “compassion and professionalism toward everyone.” As the Courier Journal first reported, Stewart is facing a 20-day unpaid suspension for helping to cover up a subordinate’s use of force against a man likely experiencing homelessness last year — a suspension he is now appealing.
…
In the body camera footage, as Stewart drove away from the scene, he narrates the encounter, justifying his choice to cite her to himself. He says that, if he had let her go without citing her, it would “set the precedent” that people could claim a medical emergency to get out of a ticket. “As much as, like the casual observer who, you know, believes everything that lady said, would think that it maybe wasn’t the most appropriate way to handle it, I’m very confident that was the appropriate way to handle it,” Stewart says, “with the exception of perhaps that maybe I yelled at her a little too quickly when she was in the street.”
This man must just hate people without a house to live in. How the hell can he look at himself in the mirror? How can his family be okay with him screwing over people who are already down? Just wow… this is America.
We need to bring back tarring and feathering for leeches like the ones in the article.
My hope for the future is that the Trump administration and his choices for leadership positions will be so incompetent, will be such a failure, that it fails in supplying Israel with assistance (weapons, diplomatic cover internationally, and political cover domestically) allowing Gazans to finally have peace and the space rebuild along with consequences for Israel (sanctions, isolation, arrest of leaders and war criminals).
That’s what these private schools have always been about. We’ve known this for a while. Here’s an article from 2021.
The ICC put out arrest warrants on Netanyahu and Yoan Gallant for the war crime of using starvation to wage war and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts. And the “ICJ has found it is “plausible” that Israel has committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention.”

Oh gawd, is America’s future gonna look like Romania’s past when Ceausescu banned all family planning options and penalized childless couples? Orphanages overflowed with children who were unwanted due to poverty, children who were mistreated by the limited staff working within those institutions. They were called “Ceausescu’s Children.”
It’s dumb that they’re not pushing to get rid of those empty desks and save that money. But I guess the market demands miserable workers or something.
Jesus Christ, so many people don’t know the real history of what happened while this is the real answer.
To add on to Ronald “Fucking” Reagan defunding universities, he did it because as governor of California he absolutely hated the anti-Vietnam War protests happening on University of California campuses and thought a good way to limit attendance of ‘rabble rousing’ (re: poor) students was to take away their funding. Conservatives nationwide saw this and thought ‘that’s great, we should do that, too.’ and they did.
Thanks Ronnie. You’re the unwanted microwaved dog shit that ruined America 40 years and your stink is still smelled in full force to this day. I didn’t believe in hell, but I hope they made a special one just for you.
Here’s hoping that 2.0 and his terrible leadership picks will be incompetent enough to collapse Israel’s support system such that they have to stop and lose all protections from its main sponsor.
Well, that put a damper on my day. Holy shit…
Here’s hoping they can recover without having to continue to have this as an asterisk-
But these measures have also pushed up unemployment and the poverty rate.
“She is ending this race in a very different place than other nominees that have lost,” one Harris adviser told the outlet. “Her approval is higher. People were very happy with the race that she ran.”
Jesus fucking Christ. They’ve huffed their own farts too hard and gave themselves some kind of brain damage. Or they’re just greedy fucks that want to raise a billion dollars for exorbitant campaign expenses paid to their friends and acquaintances.
Huh, well that’s new. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a girl or woman go on a school or mass shooting.
It’s great, I like mine with cheese, sausage or bacon, and scrambled eggs. With a cup of coffee and a banana or pear on the side, that’s all I’ll need to hold me over for a good bit of the day.
