Donald Trump just helped free Andrew Tate from his rape and human trafficking charges.

Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

Trump moves to strip federal workers of their rights—again. His latest move cancels union agreements made in Biden’s final days, calling them “wasteful.” Workers’ protections, wages, and remote work policies are at risk. This isn’t about efficiency—it’s about control.

If you don’t hear me frfr when I say that they have added “A” for Accessibility to DEI — it’s “DEIA” in the EOs — and if you don’t really absorb what that means, you’re not keeping pace with what’s happening.
it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy.
He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served.
I spit on him.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently
