"Polyworking" is the fancy, sanitized term invented to normalize people being forced to work multiple jobs to afford basic necessities.
Don't glorify the grind.
Dismantle the system that requires it.

This is my big soap box. We gave the presidency too much power with the PATRIOT Act, extrajudicial drone strikes, indefinite detention and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump is just using executive authority Congress gave to the presidency after 9/11 to maximum effect.
Congress, in my opinion has ceded too much of its authority to the Executive Branch in the last nearly quarter of a century. What the administration has been doing is simply part the Post 9/11 legacy. It’s got to stop. I say this as a GWOT era veteran.
Credit to Rand Paul. He hated extrajudicial drone strike killings under Obama and he HATES them under Trump where Congress has given no authorization.

What do we know about Bradley? Is he a hardcore MAGA "kill all the brown people" type? Did he think this order was legal? Is he willing to be a scapegoat for war crimes? Has he been promised a pardon?
This whole thing is weird. Why would he go along with this at obvious personal risk?

Rep Jim Hines: Admiral Bradley testified that there was no ‘kill them all’ order from Hegseth.
The committee members also say that the video is horrific- a clear shot at stranded shipwrecked victims which Bradley would know was a war crime.
Why would Bradley do this?

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

However, MAGA has gone full white nationalist and Groyper. It's the entire party now. Just straight up neo Nazi language and conspiracy theories and rhetoric.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Classic Sadistic Personality Disorder – taking joy-pleasure in other people's suffering, pain, torture, and death. And sadism *never* exists in isolation – it's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

Both of these were published in the last 14 months and are part of a larger right wing project designed to build the permission structure for Christians to embrace a selfish, cruel, and fascistic vision of Christianity by redefining one of the central teachings of the New Testament and Jesus Christ
