I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time.

crazy that an incorrigible drunken dipshit who has failed at everything of consequence he has ever tried is also disastrously bad at leading the single largest bureaucracy in the world
Pete Hegseth's behavior has become "erratic," and he seems increasingly "insecure" about his job and standing in the admin.
Officials who operate in Hegseth's vicinity describe him as difficult and prickly, and said that he berates and yells at the staff.

Trump's State Department is denying accurate passports to all #trans & #intersex folks. The State Dept is accepting public comments for people to submit their concerns about the new passport policy. You can submit comments anonymously on the federal register website (all three links in this thread).

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

This story looks familiar 👀 When the community is organized, ICE's plans don't live up to the hype. A few volunteers and a plan is all it takes to throw them off their script. So, who's ready for showtime? #defendandrecruit

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/

Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men
Research published in Sex Roles suggests that male victimhood ideology among South Korean men is driven more by perceived socioeconomic status decline rather than objective economic hardship.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
