Giving a predator like Ghislain Maxwell a platform, moving her to a comfortable prison without receiving anything in return except to claim innocence and say you’re nice guy— when 100’s of children where victimized is a miscarriage of justice. Epstein survivor—“…She also participated in the abuse…”

Called Newhouse. Told him, as a survivor, I demand he be one of the 2 Republican votes needed to pass the bill regarding the release of the Epstein files. The kid on the line was quiet for a long time. Then said he'd pass along the message. Call your Republican electeds. They need 2 more.

What happens when vaccine coverage collapses in Florida because they are ending vaccine requirements for school entry? 1. Disease outbreaks that end up hospitalizing and killing infants too young to be vaccinated by responsible parents, the elderly whose immunity wanes, and the immunocompromised.

Governor Newsom @governor.ca.gov, Governor Kotek, and I launched a new West Coast Health Alliance today to ensure residents remain protected by science, not politics. The Trump Administration has undermined the independence of the CDC and dismantled its vaccine panel.

Text at top: Governors Bob Ferguson, Gavin Newsom, and Tina Kotek launch new West Coast Health Alliance to uphold scientific integrity in public health as Trump destroys CDC's credibility Joint statement reading: “President Trump’s mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists — and his blatant politicization of the agency — is a direct assault on the health and safety of the American people. The CDC has become a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science, ideology that will lead to severe health consequences. California, Oregon, and Washington will not allow the people of our states to be put at risk.”

Perhaps they are the true "Blue MAGA." They have a desire for rights, but want white supremacy to stay firmly in place. They also tend to lean towards authoritarianism when they don't get their way, and a "my way or the high way" attitude, especially in election years.

It seems to me, as it's been pointed out many times how much in common they seem to have with MAGA, that perhaps they are actually right wing. They fill that gap of the horseshoe, making it actually a circle. They share certain values with the left side, but have a lot of values with the right, too.

Fellow whites, a gentle reminder that as white people, we actually have no place having an opinion on this topic. This is a listen/learn time whilst staying in our lane.

At the zoo yesterday, one of the bears was playing in the water and tossing a log around and splashing and chewing on it like it was a dog toy. Most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life. Till she eats a person, of course...

Who is Aaron Lewis? And why is he so fucking stupid? I was 15 when that song was released and I understood what it was about. It’s not Springsteen’s fault that Lewis couldn’t understand the lyrics.

Screenshot from Facebook with side-by-side pictures of Aaron Lewis, and Bruce Springsteen. The post reads, Staind's Aaron Lewis on Bruce Springsteen:

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, Alt in pic 1 Happy Labor Day

And I'd just like to point out that in the year 2025, we still don't have hoverboards yet...

What it means is, it never mattered how popular the policies or who is enforcing them, cuz it was just about getting it up in action. Who is in charge being popular won't matter, because we won't be voting anymore. Trump literally explained that to us when he said we'd never have to vote again.

They keep clinging to the hope of "JD's not popular, MAGA won't stand for it," which is really revealing, because it means that all the non-voters and 3rd party protest voters thought this would end with Trump and they'd be off the hook. They really think their MAGA brethren will get us out of this.

Cuz we're a collective that does that. Until it's none of us judging, all of us will be judged. We refuse to live our lives by the Golden Rule, but demand the people we judge grant us the Golden Rule in return. It's absurd. If you don't judge, great, spend your energy working on other whites who do.

You just need to work on wrapping your head around the white collective. See, every other racial demographic, really any marginalized group, is looked at as a collective. So, what happens to one or what one does, is applied to all. We're just trying to get the white collective to that same place.

It's starting to feel very much how they covered up Princess Kate's health issues. The reused photos and I'm sure AI pictures aren't far off in the distance. Whatever is going on maybe enjoyable for those of us who are counting down the days of that man's life, but disastrous for the US as a whole.

Sweet, I'm not giving legal advice. I'm expressing that I think you're a terrible person. Spending all this time harassing a Black woman's posts because you're racist AF too. Go have the day you voted for.

Why does it have to be either? We'd prefer neither.
