Honestly, this is the most stupid and fragile bunch of losers ever to be voluntarily placed in charge of any government.
Military to remove 'Enola Gay' photos for violating DEI rules
A photo of Army biologists was on a list of images to be purged, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish that included their gender.

The next Kennedy Center Honorees. Then, the Center and its awards will be renamed for a more recent president, the current one, and the woke rainbow ribbon design of the award will be replaced with bedazzled gold lamé.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.
And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.
It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.
Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

My first day identifying as a woman, thanks to the executive order stating gender at conception is your gender.

As this is "Day Two," I'm going to check to see if there are no longer taxes on tips, the border has been sealed, and the war in Ukraine is over. 👀

To those blaming Elon Musk for his rocket exploding, be fair: Elon only *pretends* to be an engineer at his companies.
In reality, he used daddy's money to buy other people's ideas. And sometimes he buys bad ideas. And sometimes he buys good ideas, like Twitter, & ruins them with *his* bad ideas.
