Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )
After an 18 year old raped a 13 year old & was facing charges of child rape & child sodomy.............Utah gop lawmakers decided to make it clear to Americans that the gop is the party of rapist protectors by changing the law. #Pinks
In Utah, judges consistently let rapists off without prison time. Candon Dean Dahle raped a little girl for 5 years when she was 7-12 years old. The judge decided to suspend a prison sentence & instead sentence Dahle to probation. Utah judges & lawmakers protect predators. #Pinks
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
ABHORRENT BEYOND COMPREHENSION TRAFFICKING CHILDREN

Agreed! Love Abigail Torn!!!
Ok, let's address the white male problem in the US, then. In 96% of mass shootings, the shooter is a cis white man. (Percentage of trans shooters: 0.11%) www.reuters.com/article/fact...
I for one am grateful that there is a judge acting with the required dispatch and sense of urgency. If she didn’t do this, these children would already be gone, shipped away to an unknown fate. And I still think we wouldn’t be in this situation if all his trials were concluded before the election.

If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
This horror is made possible with US funding and arms. +$22B in aid was provided to Netanyahu in the first year of the conflict alone. It's been 694 days of torture, mutilation, starvation, and murder of Palestinian civilians and journalists. www.trackaipac.com watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/p...
Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
MEDICAID FOR ALL
A plan for Gaza circulating within the Trump administration calls to “voluntarily relocate” Palestinians, establish U.S. control, and turn the area into a “gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub.” (Washington Post)
Mary Shelley wrote an entire book trying to warn us about extremely arrogant nerds who create things irresponsibly and take no accountability for them for when they wreck society, by the way.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
With a straight face.
PROTECT TRANS PEOPLE
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…

Via @rchapoco.bsky.social: Alabama’s state sales tax on groceries will fall from 3% to 2% on Monday under a law approved last spring. The law will not cut local levies on groceries but prevents cities and counties from raising them higher. Alabama is one of a handful of states that taxes groceries.

Suicide IS preventable. 988 is the Suicide and Crisis Hotline. Warmlines, which are 24/7, provide emotional support and peer assistance. Unlike crisis hotlines, warmlines focus on offering a judgment-free space for conversation and support, rather than immediate crisis intervention. (2/3)
I understand that you want to release feelings of guilt about the loved ones that you've lost to suicide by believing people who have suicidal ideation cannot be helped, but what you are saying is inaccurate and dangerous. (1/3)
The for profit prison system is now in the migrant detention aka concentration camp business. Not only do innocent immigrants have to face this regime who want to hunt them down, they also want to profit off of their abuse. There is no humanity in this. No mercy. No justice. NO PEACE!!!

Mauser Packaging Solutions union members, Teamsters Local 705, are on strike in Chicago. The strike began on 6/9/25 after the union says the company illegally surveilled members, workers demand better wages, safer working conditions, & contract terms that protect immigrants.
Japan just launched a power plant to convert salt water to energy. China is building the world’s largest solar farm. Finland just launched a sand battery for heating. Nigeria is accessing geothermal energy. Trump / GOP have their fingers in their ears and are yelling Drill Baby Drill.

Children’s Hospital LA is laying off 439 people over the next two months because of the big ugly bill and massive cuts to Medicaid. This is a massive crisis for children needing pediatric care in LA. It’s going to happen all over not just LA. I can’t imagine the impact on rural areas.

Whhhhhhyyyyy can't we have nice things, too? Why are we living in a dystopian white nationalist fascist rascist misogynistic nightmare in which groceries are luxury items? Why, Linda? Why???
Guys nothing happened. However, CEOs are still trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while planning on replacing you with a robot and charge you for the robot’s rent Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Rossiter, who told the stories of the many forgotten and underappreciated women of science. Like many women of her generation, she survived academia by developing a tough exterior, but her support for jr women, myself included, was unwavering. RIP, Margaret.
hey, remember the time Donald Trump told us that school shootings were something we just had to 'get over'? that was fun
How about funding more support networks, health care, mental health care, child care, education, and programs to help people get on their feet again? Law enforcement in a bandaid, social services is the long-term remedy.
My understanding is that, as a labor strike, the strikers would be those who are employed. It is them that they wish to sign strikecards. For those of us who aren't currently working, are unable to work, or are retired, our role is to spread the word and support strikers when the time comes.
If churches want political influence, they should have to pay taxes. But the math on this meme is waaaaay off. Churches may have avoided paying $71 billion in taxes, but the total personal income tax collected is $2,340 billion. Taxes would go down by only 3%, not -to- 3%.
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
Meanwhile, our gov't is giving the finger to the National Guard every day by having them pick up trash around the capital. Nothing quite like seeing our guys in camo wearing Hi-Visiblity vests while picking up trash. This is the dumbest administration, and we are living in the dumbest timeline.
I imagine future historians will judge us by recent events where the shooting of children in church is met with shrugs, thoughts and prayers, and a tech bro getting the crap kicked out of him by a 15-year-old girl resulted in a military occupation of the nation’s capital
You would think that documenting these effects - on farms, in meat-packing plants, in the garment industry, and restaurants would be a popular beat for reporters in MSM.
Interesting question. I don't know. I've asked my state chapter facilitators. I'll get back to you with what I learn.
Seems like MAGAts will let the world burn as long as they keep Black and Brown people beneath their heels.

Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.

Here's something I think a lot of folks don't yet understand, but 16 states' worth of CVSes refusing to give out Covid shots *is* actually preventing people from accessing them. They are the biggest pharmacy chain in the country and they own Aetna insurance, often forcing those clients to use CVS.

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
Truth.
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
