A university in Netherlands opened all academic vacancies to women. If after 6 months, no suitable female applicant was found, men could apply. After centuries of systematic exclusion for women, when men have to wait a mere 6 months, they file complaints.

Regrettably though, Donald Trump will be in the news for years as his criminal and civil cases make progress, but if enough Americans vote blue this fall we will never have to worry about him again at least.

It’s actually pretty damn simple: Vote for Kamala Harris and you never have to think about Donald Trump ever again, for the rest of your life.

“The behavior we have seen today in #Liverpool city center is completely unacceptable,” Jenny Sims, the asst chief constable for the #Merseyside Police, said. “What should have been a sunny Saturday on the historic waterfront to be enjoyed by people of all ages turned into an afternoon of unashamed #disorder & #violence, which potentially put decent members of the public, including children, at risk.”

@uspolitics if they really taught the bible as history:

Here are a bunch of racist tribes that took each other as slaves and where religion and authority were the same so they made some rules to repress the masses.

They were conquered by Romans because they couldn't get along.

Then some homeless guy in sandals came along and said, "can't we all get along". So they killed him too.

If a reporter asked trump about this, and framed it as "It'd be stupid and un-American NOT to take the money, and would make you a bad businessman."
Then he would 100% admit to doing it, *especially* since he knows he's untouchable criminally for it.

And the Dems had better subpoena Liu and Sherwin in addition to Barr. Hopefully they win enough seats to actually enforce them!

Who are the #Jews of Israel?

Zionism is NOT an ideological or a #nationalist movement.

#Zionism = refuge

#Israel became a refuge for the worlds Jews —not by choice, but because there was literally no other option, other than death/genocide.

Israel is by no means perfect, but the shocking prevalence of belief in the reverse ie that Israel is a project in #colonization, an #apartheid state, engaged in #genocide etc… is an Orwellian inversion of #history & reality.

Oklahoma schools in revolt over Bible mandate

“Oklahoma school districts are required by state law to teach the historical significance of the Bible. Superintendent Walters will hold teachers and administrators accountable. Rogue, left-wing activists who refuse can leave Oklahoma and go to California.”

Every day we see prominent Republicans not just abandon Trump but ENDORSING Kamala Harris. Now, immediately after vicious hateful (deranged) Trump speech in Atlanta, the former Georgia Lt Governor Geoff Duncan - condemns Trump and ENDORSES Harris

Weird Man the Debate Chicken campaign is imploding

Is anyone surprised after 9 months of failed #hostage negotiation that #Iran is unmasked as the #Hamas benefactor and defender in what has been a century of embarrassing loss?
This petulant Jihad will only extend the cycle.
Hamas should surrender and release the #hostages to the #redcross as per the #genevaconventions.

Almost 7 pm and it’s finally dropped down to 91 degrees. I’ll go and put on a sweater.

When they talk about it
(if they about it at all)
they talk about the pandemic
in the past tense,
and then they wonder why
they keep having to talk about
how everyone they know is sick
in the present tense.

These creeps know exactly who Donald Trump is -- a terrible danger to this country. They just calculated that they could ride on his bully coattails, which makes them worse than he is. Trump belongs IN PRISON, not the White House. threads.net/@petebuttigiegwins
