Let’s be clear, because I see a lot of people glossing over this. These allegations are of domestic abuse and physical violence. You could get an order of protection based on these allegations. Domestic abuse isn’t about “hitting,” it’s about using violence and coercion to control your partner.

People literally will be like “you trust HER word? She’s a republican! This is a political smear!” As if that’s not the exact same shit republicans do anytime they get accused by women on the left of domestic violence or SA.

Oh dear we taught the abuser therapy speak again

but at least he's not "smoothgroined," amirite? what matters is that his history of sexual violence proves he's a masculine manly penetrator virile red blooded man, isn't that right

There is a certain irony in cattle people throwing all of their weight behind an administration that promised to be friendly to rancher politics, only for that administration to allow a hideous cattle parasite to make it into Texas because cooperating with Mexico is woke and gay

I want the accomplished feeling of making cookies without the effort of actually making them

Foster care is inextricably linked with homelessness. It's one of the most commonly correlated factors with becoming homeless at some point in your life. Taking food assistance from former foster kids is beyond cruel. They're trying to snuff out the lives of young, vulnerable people. Hateful shit.

Adam Hamawy is a seasoned veteran combat medic who literally saved the life of a sitting senator of the United States; volunteered to treat Bosnians and Palestinians during their genocides, helped 9/11 victims on 9/11, and this is how the NYT decides to describe him after he wins a seat to Congress.

Iran launched ballistic missiles at gulf countries. The Supreme Court doubled down on racism and allowed a Black district in Alabama to be eliminated via the shadow docket. CBS News fired Scott Pelley from 60 minutes. All in the last two hours.

Pastor John Piper is one of the most influential conservative theologians in the US today and he has a good episode on the genderless nature of God according to Protestant doctrine. Worth noting that Pastor John is **far** to the right of the United Methodist Church and Episcopal Church.

Planning spooky season and there's so much spooky movies and tv this year it's spilling out into September

ICE broke the finger of a Reuters photojournalist today. After two days of drenching people in pepper spray, people have been adding more and more layers of protection, rendering the spray useless and leading to ICE using their short metal batons that they swing with full force.

Martina McBride has done a lot to bring awareness to domestic violence, is anti-AI, pro Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ rights. We really gotta stop painting country as conservative because a lot of it isn't

"No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another" U.S. Const. Art 1, s. 9, cl. 6

I resent having to carry the mental load of wondering, even for a second, if they are actually stupid enough to try this. Like I know they're evil enough. But we're being held hostage by the glue eating toddlers of political theory.

people are making fun of this but like there's no way these two aren't having the most fun anyone has ever had in human history

Cheesy Gordita crunch

Christian Nationalist have done a great job of branding themselves as, well. Christian. Pro-religion in a secular, demonic world In reality, no one is more anti-religion than these guys. By wedding religion to the state, they're creating a god-king and crushing the power of religious institutions

Some people take pictures of waterfalls when they go visit waterfalls, I take pictures of semi-hidden graffiti

really putting the "fire" in "ceasefire"

I like that my feed right now is 100% lawyers going “legal expert here, judges only talk like this when they’re feeling a white-hot rage powerful enough to swallow a medium-size metropolitan area.”

"we fired everyone who knows how to staunch bleeding and we're not training anyone new, oh and btw it's because fuel costs are too high thanks to our stupid war of choice" is a bit on the nose for a dying empire

As has been noted for many years now: We're gonna win

Also what the fuck are we doing, ranching cattle on top of missile silos that might or might not have been remediated properly

Learning about all the heavy metals and chemicals I was likely exposed to in childhood and then 8 months later getting weird neurological issues out of nowhere has sure been a time

This is why the Democrats' current obsession with tax cuts is so dangerous. They're paving the way for more extreme proposals like ending progressive taxation altogether. Again, we don't need "Republican lite." We need a party that affirms that paying for the things government does is good.

Now you don't even need a second human for your dom/brat relationship

This photo via Getty Images seems to confirm the two mass shooters at the mosque in San Diego today were neo-nazis, or at the least, inspired by other neo-nazi mass murderers. This is in addition to news of writings about "racial pride" left by one of them, and writings on a gun used.

good riddance to one of the worst creeps in federal office

I need a show to watch but maybe I will just watch Farscape again. I'm fine. Everything is fine. This is normal

Gender is innate and immutable but also so fragile that it can be destroyed by drinking out of a straw 🤔

How far right we have moved as a country

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Rawbraining it

Portland is getting thunderstorms. I want thunderstorms. I should move to Portland

I have not gotten enough sleep in 2 days, I should drink a gallon of iced tea at 4pm, surely that'll make it better

UNMC's biocontainment unit handled Ebola patients pre-covid, helped save the lives of COVID patients and provided much-needed research toward the development of the vaccine, and is staffed by some of the best doctors in the country. Of all places for these folks to go, that is the place to go

I ended up just staying up with them, Cascade was swallowing weird and it wasn't emergency vet but anxiety said keep an eye on him. He seems fine today. This is the best picture I got of them crashed out on the couch

I had an ex who sold me a truck one time that he'd rebuilt himself. It was an 80s Ford Ranger and the truck bed was a different truck than the front. It had an issue with the wheels falling off but that only happened once. Good job, Elon Musk, your cars are worse than a 23 year old redneck's car

I have PTSD from the Do Not Comply people and I think if Andes Virus becomes a thing we should just let them not comply

Cascade had a panic attack because he ate grass earlier and then threw it up and I think some got stuck in his throat, so it's been an hour and a half of high strung dog panic in my house. I finally got him to go to sleep on the couch by turning Bluey on, but now I have to listen to Bluey

We don't talk enough about how the pervasiveness of child sacrifice in the Bible affects children who are exposed to the unfiltered Bible from a young age and taught to see it as Holy and Perfect. It is unbelievably traumatic to a 6-7 yo to be told so much about the "goodness" of child sacrifice

industry built on unpunished mass-scale theft continues to perform mass scale theft

My “this is not a golden calf” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

I haven't been a Christian for 20 years now but this guy seems like the antichrist to me

I think it's good to have a slightly adversarial relationship with your physical therapist

like a butterfly dropping into its grave, of course. a phrase we’ve all used and a very normal, relatable kind of image that conveys clear meaning. i’m always saying this. so beautiful, like a delicate butterfly croaking mid-air and gently floating into a tiny open bug grave at the insect cemetery.

you fucked up a perfectly good freedom of navigation is what you did look at it, it's got tolls
