Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

50 years of knowing you and though all of it great love and respect. I hope you’re feeling the love today @janewiedlin.bsky.social Happy #Birthday…. Here’s to another trip around the sun 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂💕💕💕💕💕💕🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂photo by @hardandfastbook Melanie Nissen

The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.

He was forced to sell The Plaza along with numerous other assets. He cleared up his debt by running for president and looting the country.

China’s going to roll the United States and either get everything they’ve ever wanted or let us hang and die and the hardest part of the whole thing is going to be keeping a straight face as Trump continues to show just how easily manipulable he is. The man fell for simple, simple political theater.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Great read about women online being punished for setting boundaries. open.substack.com/pub/liljedyn...

The US was founded by deists that didn’t want the inquisition style bloodlusting religious influence other countries had suffered. “One Nation Under God” was added to the pledge in 1954 during the Cold War.

If you’ve ever wondered who’s profiting from Trump’s war here’s the answer Credits: @perfectunion

"So long as the government can control female reproduction in any way, the workforce can be equally controlled." Pretty simple, but there's more - so much more from The Great Cosmic Mother in pt 4 - our latest episode. www.bitingalltheapples.com/welcome-to-t...

Mother’s Day is about the economy, equality, and the fate of the world. Father’s Day is about golf and BBQ. My latest post ponders Mother's Day when you don't have/want or lost a mom and how the holiday obscures the unpaid labor problem in the US. open.substack.com/pub/hotbored...

Mother's Day is rooted in anti-war sentiment. Julia Ward Howe felt that mothers should gather to prevent the cruelty of war and the waste of life since mothers of mankind alone bear and know the cost. womenshistory.si.edu/blog/history...

On this Mother’s Day, we’d like to honor women for contributing an immeasurable amount of unpaid labor. Check out @jessicacalarco.com’s book, “Holding It Together: How Women Became America’s Safety Net”. spotlightonpoverty.org/spotlight-ex...

Bush’s letter feels like it came from another planet - one where political rivals were still countrymen, not enemies. The ink is only 33 years old, but the sentiment might as well be from a century ago.

"The American political conversation has moved on from abortion," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social. "But the state-by-state patchwork of women’s rights remains an untenable reality, and the ferocity of the anti-choice movement’s misogyny has not been abated."

After years of well-funded attacks on transgender people’s rights and dignity by conservative activists and GOP politicians, Republicans are banking on the attitudes their party has spent years cultivating, putting these pet issues directly to voters in the form of ballot initiatives.

Seeing a lot of people repost this — understandably, her work deserves to be recognized — but this is a salient detail The Pulitzers may be theoretically righting a previous wrong here, but it comes off somewhat disingenuous without acknowledging the history www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...

In the 90s, Harrison Ford was the right age to play the president in movies. In 2026, Harrison Ford is the right age to play the president in movies.

Just because the media moved on, doesn’t mean you should.

Conservatives think that yesterday’s federal ruling will end abortion pills by mail—it’s not happening. Some abortion providers plan to continue shipping mifepristone 👀 jessica.substack.com/p/the-bigges...

“If the shareholders of these companies can securely retire based on their investment, why can the global public not also receive ongoing benefit from the industries built on their unwilling exploitation? This is not capitalism; it is colonization.” www.patreon.com/posts/magnif...

Again, for those in the back. The stock market is a ponzi scheme that doesn’t reflect anything having to do with our economy other than the wealth class’s success in exploiting us. There is a vast divide between what is happening in those numbers and what is taking shape in reality.

Today's demolition of Voting Rights Act by Roberts Court will likely trigger largest drop in Black representation since end of Reconstruction. They're taking America back to Jim Crow, when white supremacy and one party rule enshrined across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

War on women

The US Ag Dept rejection of all 4 women farmers chosen by their peers for the United Soybean Board seems like a small thing. But "it’s really a big deal because it’s just another thing of where the current administration views women, and what their role should be." www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Justice Kagan: "I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.'

The Cut is all like “Should We Start Smoking Cigarettes Again” and we’re like:

“Amelia Handy, Rape Crisis’s head of policy and public affairs, said: “This CNN investigation confirms yet again that women and girls live within a rape culture, where predatory men perpetrate extraordinary harm and support others in doing so.”

the "you paid for it so you own it and fuck every company who says different" lane is wide open for any politician that wants it

In news that absolutely everyone predicted…

Answer: the men who got them pregnant kill them. Not top five. Not top three. Top.

Never forget that James Comey messed with Martha Stewart and Hillary Clinton. He had no problem taking down successful women. The DOJ case is BS but no need to gush over the dude. He’s a fed for fucks sake.

Call me when the NYT is ready for a "12 Bitches Who Were Right about Everything" piece.

Women created civilization, men created war. Pretty simple but we're reading a 500 page book that has a few more details about it. Ya know, nuance. Give a listen to the full episode www.BitingAllTheApples.com and tell us what you think! #podsky #podcastclip #feminist #BookSky
