Actually it is. Bc many conservative pundits shamelessly accused Paul Pelosi of hiring a prostitute. The video is grim & clearly disproves that. This video needs to be shared with all the conservatives who openly pondered conspiracy theories so that they can explain themselves

How do you stop abortion? By force of law. At least it once seemed that way, writes. Among participants at this year’s March for Life, it was beginning to sink in that ending abortion would never be as simple as they might have hoped.

I’m on the tube. The lady next to me is doing a sudoku puzzle with a pencil & eating a homemade bacon butty out of tin foil. This is NOT a complaint, it smells amazing. What’s the most audacious snacking you’ve witnessed in public please? Noodles at the ballet? Biriyani on a bus?

An Ohio teacher, who was reading The Sneetches to her Grade 3 class, was abruptly cut off by an admin when a student said "It's almost like what happened back then, how people were treated. Like, disrespected. Like, white people disrespected Black people.” dispatch.com/story/news/edu

*nO MoRE tRAdiTiOn :( :( :(* last year Derbew taught "CLASSICS 203G: Greek Core III: Aeschylus and Euripides" are you sure there isn't something else you're mad about?

The Stanford Classics dept. has totally abandoned, you know, the Classics, and is now a fully-fledged CRT department. No more tradition, just obsession with inventing historical racism. There is no such thing as “Blackness in Greek Antiquity.” It’s woke anachronism.

Reading it, the only fact present in this piece is that expanding the child tax credit will reduce child poverty by at least 22%. The rest of the text consists of speculation meant to justify...not doing that. An interesting choice!
