This kind of shit doesn't even upset me anymore but it's wild because the US absolutely recognized the Armenian Genocide. But, because Biden did it, they can't accept that. So the official policy returns to Genocide denial explicitly to own the libs.

Chat, can fascism survive with 3:1 disapproval by young men?
"50 percent of rural Americans disapprove of ICE’s handling of enforcement, while 50 percent approve
75 percent of men aged 18 to 29 disapprove of ICE’s handling of enforcement, while only 25 percent approve"

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

For what it’s worth, some of the same ideas now emerging from Epstein’s rightwing defenders—that sex buying should be legal, that age of consent laws are oppressive to healthy adult sexuality, etc—have also been advanced on the left by sex radicals. See: www.newyorker.com/news/our-col...
Sex, Consent, and the Dangers of “Misplaced Scale”
In the current moment, we risk reverting to a more sexually restrictive era—one that denied agency to women.

Absolutely appalling human rights violation to withhold life saving treatment!!
Florida is proposing the introduction of new eligibility rules for ADAP which subsidizes HIV treatment. Under the new rules up to 16000 people living with HIV in the state could lose access to life saving medication.
Without ADAP meds cost 3000$-6000$ US/month.

we have an elite impunity problem (globally, but the US is certainly no exception) and nothing will get better until we deal with this
so much driving motivation in people in even the slightest position of power, regardless of where they find themselves on the political map, is "i should never have to feel bad, feel regret, feel shame, or otherwise reconsider my decisions" and every choice, policy and personal, falling from there

This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

This right here is the beginnings of the result of what DOGE was really up to. Not *really* slashing stuff, but getting access to as many government citizen databases and joining them to be able to target people quickly and comprehensively across all their exposure to the federal government.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
