Service Secretaries to malicious #Tuberville: "The generals and admirals who will be leading our forces a decade from now are colonels and captains today. They are watching this spectacle...Rather than continue making sacrifices to serve our nation, some might leave uniformed service for other opportunities, robbing the Defense Department of talent cultivated over decades that we now need most to maintain our superiority over our rivals and adversaries."

Don’t take it personally, I’m against all gods… not just yours.

The Republicans that are still insisting that there was no attempted insurrection are still successfully blocking access to their phones.

@AlliFlowers Brought to you by the same people that complain if SNAP benefit recipients buy a bag of chips with the money. Disgusting.

The worst thing about Christianity was how it made me fear the contents of my own mind.

One thing I learned from this story is that forced sterilization of inmates has still been widespread in the 21st century in America. Ghoulish. #Society https://19thnews.org/2023/09/california-forced-sterilization-incarceration-reparations/?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon

Good. Anyhow, if you are #LGBTQ you should be if you can be attending university almost anywhere but #Floriduh and Texas.

FTA: "The first thing we tell people is to never, ever go to the emergency room. Something as simple as sudden, unexplained headaches could be a serious sign of medical bankruptcy..."

If you think that Jews follow religious dietary laws "just to be difficult", you might be an antisemite!

Some of the time this would happen in clubs, the woman was interested in me. But a lot of the time, she was looking for help brushing off an aggressive pest dude.

I'm genuinely disappointed in the number of men proudly announcing that they wouldn't help a woman that they saw get hit with a brick.

And men announcing that they would help their own woman, but wouldn't help a stranger, is bad too. These dudes still don't like women. They just like their possessions. 🤷🏿‍♂️

A word about #ADL: As with most organizations, I don’t agree with every position they take. But when Musk accuses the most organized voice against #antisemitism in the U.S. of costing him ad revenue, he is leaning on a most #antisemitic dog whistle (that Jews control the media) and he most definitely knows it. 1/2
