I have 3 kids. The most tired I had ever been was working a dead end job in my 20s.

Musk on Wednesday called Le Pen "France's last hope" on his social media platform X, in a post declaring his support for her presidential bid – which she confirmed earlier this month, even after her conviction for embezzlement was upheld on appeal.

Washington state domestic workers will now have statewide labor protections under the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, signed into law Monday by Gov. Bob Ferguson.

House Bill 2355, sponsored by Rep. Brianna Thomas (D-Seattle) and championed in the Senate by Sen. Rebecca Saldaña (D-Seattle), who sponsored the Senate companion bill, ensures that nannies, housekeepers, cooks, home care providers, and other domestic workers receive fair pay, written agreements, privacy protections, and legal recourse — rights they have been denied for decades.

You've got to remember that these are just Vaccine-Hesitant Americans. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West... You know, morons.

Hard to get money from an entity that no longer exists.

Be careful with a stungun. It requires close range confrontation, and It's not effective if the assailant is drugged up or heavily drunk and ignores the shocks.

Mace gives good distance, and pepper in the eyes doesn't care about the stimulants in your blood stream.

Also practice with it. A large number of people carry self defense tools and choke under pressure/fail to use it correctly during situations.

I got a bread maker for free. I asked my coworkers and THREE different people said they had a bread maker that's just sitting there, unused as gifts that they don't want.

Oh, and you don't want it and want the stupid model? You can still buy it for 3x the price.

Let those welfare queen red states pull themselves up by their own bootstrap

I have two points to add to this:

1 - As a liberal, there was nothing more frustrating than having to vote for Kamala, a candidate who was aggressively "pro-cop", especially as many in the country were protesting for defunding cops. Youre not going to energize most people with an angle like "You want us to vote to stop Trump?"

2 - As a person who is part of the black/immigrant community, the government has a history of ignoring us for decades. It's not the federal government, but the local government too. Systematic racism has always kept us down. And I hate to say it, Trump got a wall going. Trump has ICE harassing immigrants. These are newsworthy events, even if they're in the wrong fucking direction. But a Democrat has a history of never wanting to create a ripple as they appeal to all sides.
