That this guy gets to decide whether you can get a potentially life saving abortion is the most ridiculous and unreasonable thing I’ve ever heard.

Don't forget these warriors:

Unit 585- composed mainly of Israeli Arabs☪️ 🇮🇱

#Theists:
“#God is beyond our comprehension; he works in mysterious ways." Then how can you claim to know what he wants?

Not only is the United States war budget larger than the next 10 countries COMBINED — not only is the US military the largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gas POLLUTION in the history of the world — but the Pentagon cannot even properly account for all its bloated spending!
______________________________

The Pentagon just failed its audit — again. For the sixth time in a row, the agency that accounts for half the money Congress approves each year can’t figure out what it did with all that money.

The Pentagon has *never* passed an audit. Until 2018, it had never even completed one.

No other federal agency could get away with this. There would be congressional hearings. There would be public outrage.

Cheating and proud enough of it that Casey spills the #desantis plans

UPDATE: see Casey’s "clarification" in comments below. 😬

Least we forget. The grift is alive and Russian money is still flowing, influencing and corrupting - little mike johnson absolutely loves working for his boss Putin.

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/12/08/biden-announces-82-billion-for-high-speed-rail-projects/4331702033432/ This is what good governance gets Americans. If you live here, you are seeing the benefits all over the country of new roads, bridges, companies like Intel and Ford building new plants into states. The US is booming under Biden. Now because of the shortage of drugs he’s going to activate the Defense Production Act to increase mfg of vital medication‘s right here in America.

Still trying to find my people on Mastodon. Please boost if you:

-Like ice cream.

-Enjoy reading books.

-Have recurring dreams that you are a frog.

-Feel distraught when you wake up and realize that you are in fact not a frog.

-Spend your days studying ancient texts in search of a forbidden incantation that transforms humans into amphibians.

#Boston 😡

This city. I took a train ride today. Staff made sure the first person gave ‘em some money (looked to be a Latina parent), then skipped over me and another white person, and asked the Black woman behind us to pay up.

Not sure I have more to say right now, but this story needs telling.

Given the whiteness of Downtown and nearly every group with capital here, I’m sure this kind of stuff happens daily. May our shame lead to meaningful positive change.

...apparently this one (temporarily) resolved when just arrested today for "sexually assaulting a 14-year-old student "

Texas kids terrorized by man parading in front of schools with a long rifle. (which is legal in Texas... open carry.. so no one can do anything about it until he chooses to use that weapon on someone.) #guns #texas https://www.kxan.com/news/local/man-walks-with-long-rifle-in-front-of-austin-schools-terrorized-students-and-parents/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=t.co

I don't care if this movie lampoons #Trump, makes him look like a hero, or is the most accurate biopic ever created.

I have absolutely ZERO interest in seeing this film.
