I hope I live to see a generation of boys raised to be decent human beings so that girls don’t have to live in fear of them. Stop policing your daughters’ bodies and focus on your sons’ minds!
Why is it such a big deal to hear a man say this!? The validation makes me emotional
Please, I urge you to spend 45 minutes listening to these brave women who expose how ICE and Customs and Border Patrol exist to torture, terrorize, and kill, and how they operate with impunity.
Now, they're coming after American citizens.

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Let me re-introduce myself. And why our campaign is doing things differently.
NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Border Patrol reportedly did not alert the man's family that they'd released him at a Tim Hortons.
Shah Alam, 56, did not speak English. He was lost. He could not see. Border Patrol didn't contact his family or lawyer. They left him on the streets of Buffalo, where he died five days later.
“To not acknowledge the unique effect of a racial slur is a form of indifference to the suffering of others. The problem of being indifferent to the suffering of black folk while also imploring folks to have empathy for Davidson cannot be understated.” — @nubluesnick.bsky.social
Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?
MS NOW has obtained a statement from the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre:
At last.
Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.
Former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested
This is your not so gentle reminder that DEI is NOT illegal.
To all the cowardly administrations that complied.
Shame.
Ho-lee Shit. This is phenomenally good news. Department of Education rolls back— for now— its attempts to destroy Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives. Keep an eye on them, of course, and watch for the hidden knife, always, but for now: Fantastic news.
GRIEF DOESN'T CANCEL OUT JOY AND JOY DOESN'T ERASE GRIEF. BOTH CAN EXIST AT THE SAME TIME
5 ways to gently center joy while honoring what you’ve lost: 1. Let joy and grief coexist without guilt 2. Return to what feels familiar and nourishing 3. Notice micro-joys in everyday moments 4. Stay connected to people who let you be real 5. Honor your grief with intention and care
1. **Let joy and grief coexist without guilt** You might find yourself laughing at a joke and then suddenly feeling a wave of sadness. As two things can be true at once, practice by allowing the laugh without immediately scolding yourself for it.
2. **Return to what feels familiar and nourishing** This could look like re-watching a show you’ve watched more than a few times or cooking a meal you grew up with, letting the comfort of the familiar hold you when everything else feels uncertain.
We are living through a lot right now—collectively and personally.
In a time shaped by uncertainty, violence, and grief, it’s okay to feel worn down *and* still reach for moments that help you breathe.
Joy doesn’t betray our grief.
Grief doesn’t cancel our joy.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

Who is still using it regularly, and suggests that she can manage it when it is too obsequious or strays out of “assistant” mode
which wild to me.
The ass-kissing misinformation machine fucks people up and and then still tries to seduce them.
Attorneys: *Jots notes for future litigation*
Narrator: Barbara Pilling was a young model in New York. She first saw Donald Trump at a party in the late 80s. She's never spoken publicly about it before.
Pilling: He said, how old are you? And I said, 17. He goes, oh, great. So you're not too old, not too young. That's just great.
