This is stunning. Netanyahu's backtracking on his power grab as officials threaten to resign or say they'll side with the courts, and Air Force reservists refuse to fly. This could be a model for resisting other autocrats.

Some girls start at 9, or even 8. Imagine how likely it will be that no one has ever discussed this with many of them. If a girl experiences this, and is scared, she's prohibited from asking for help.

" 'In reality, mergers give these large companies the power to dictate prices...at some point, they become higher,' Wolf says. 'As big companies get bigger, competitors disappear and prices keep going up.' In 2019, just four companies took in nearly 70 percent of all grocery sales in the country.”

Isn't is reasonable to regulate guns like we do cars?? I mean, we're not taking away their guns but simply need safety measures and regulations for a deadly weapon for gods sake. But no, the RWNJ gun nuts are dictating the conversation around guns along with their precious NRA.

No other nation would allow a former Pres who tried to have his forces violently take over government after losing an election to remain free to do the same thing a few years later & have his rallies broadcast w/current elected officials as guest speakers except this dumb nation

In response to Anton Brakhage.
Like, the man starred in a major film in brown face, in 2013, then lied and falsely claimed that he was Native American, then tried to buy off the criticism by promising to buy Wounded Knee for indigenous people, then never gave a cent. All public record, all pre-dating Depp v Heard.

In response to David Beazley.
The UK court found that he likely engaged in at least 12 instances of physical violence toward Heard, including 1 of sexual assault. Upheld on appeal.
He also has a long history of racism even outside that case ("Southern Gentleman"), which would warrant a good cancelling even if it was all he did.

Listen media (not the right propaganda crap) but real media STOP hyping #RonDeSantis . He’s no hero & this constant coverage is the same stuff y’all did in 2016 w/Trump. Until he declares himself as a Presidential candidate, he’s just a Governor & a bad one at that! CUT IT OUT!!!!
