The complete inversion of morals on the right is not surprising but it's still shocking. Imagine being on the side of intentionally starving children.

Leo is an American citizen.
If being American means anything, it’s that he should be free to work without worrying that the government will raid the property without a warrant and arrest him for doing nothing wrong.

Even when Leo presents his Alabama-issued REAL ID, officers reject it as fake.
Today, to stop the violations of his and other construction workers’ Fourth Amendment rights, Leo filed a federal class-action lawsuit with the Institute for Justice.

Dear Democratic Leaders,
If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack.
You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all.
Also, they’re *people*.
Grow a spine or get out the way.

Lowering recruiting standards so MAGA folks can finally qualify is a fascist version of DEI. It's DEI without DEI's positive objectives or historical rationale.

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.
These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for speaking out against Paramount’s capitulation to Donald Trump.
I’ve always enjoyed his work — especially The Colbert Report.
Here’s a clip from when I was a guest back in 2010.
