This is why I support DEI. The existing system operates to exclude women and minorities. Period.

Morning Joe decided to normalize relations with Donald Trump.

ABC News decided to hand Trump a $15 million settlement payment.

"Legacy" media wants to normalize Trump. We can't let it.

i am pretty confident that it will soon become the law that any effort to remedy racial inequality, private or public, will be illegal anti-white discrimination. fairness is, of course, when our institutions are lily white and male

Looking at you NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN, Joe & Mika, ABC News...

Trigger warning!

I was drugged and raped in my home by an acquaintance. I drove myself to the ER at 9pm the following day, after debating for hours. I walked up to the desk, said my name, and told the nurse that I needed a rape kit. I had my sheets, the clothes I had been wearing, and other potential evidence in a paper bag. The woman asked me if l'd prefer she register me as a Jane Doe, "for privacy". I said absolutely not. I was still under my father's health insurance policy, with, guess who? Ding ding, UHC.

It took 7 hours before I was discharged. I was alone. I was already so traumatized, that those 7 hours don't feel particularly traumatic in comparison, but I assure you- it was every bit as bad as it looks on SVU. That's not the point.
The point, is that two weeks later I received a bill in the mail. Paraphrased, it read:

"SEXUAL ASSUALT EXAM- $1200.
INSURANCE COVERAGE- DENIED.
AMOUNT DUE- $1200"

And then another, in two more weeks. And then another. And then they added red font.

Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine depicted as Time’s person of the year

Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine depicted as Time’s person of the year

Ukraine is sending aid to Syria in order to help prevent a food crisis. Zelensky called on global partners to assist in ensuring a stable peace in Syria. Kyiv launched the Grain From Ukraine initiative in fall 2022 - since then, the program has saved 20 million people from hunger.

As a Buddhist, I believe in non-violence to solve our problems.

I have yet to see those condemning the left for lionizing Luigi Mangione even once criticize the right’s vile embrace of Kyle Rittenhouse, or Trump and Vance inviting Daniel Penny to be their political prop at a football game.

Fuck ABC News, fuck legacy media. They can capitulate to that cocksucker all they want.

It’s well-past time for something new. There are a helluva lot of warriors out there fighting the good fight for what is right.

And we don’t fucking apologize to adjudicated fucking rapists.

Here’s a crazy idea. Let’s make sure the proposed new FBI Director can pass an FBI Background Check.
