Endurance isn’t the absence of struggle—it’s the art of moving through it without demanding applause.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

This is so great!
the guy who caught cal raleigh’s homer was wearing a shirt that said dump 61 here and he immediately took it off and had a shirt that said dump 62 here

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I know we call a lot of things Nazi shit these days but this is pure Nazi shit. "Don't show the Fuhrer in an unflattering light!!!"
What the actual fuck.

US Tennis Association: “We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage.”
U.S. Open Orders Broadcasters to Censor Reactions to Trump
An email obtained by Bounces includes instructions from the U.S. Open on supporting Trump's planned stagecraft during the National Anthem.

This is so infuriating. WTF???
Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.

This is how the police dealt with them.

Literally beat the hell out of them.

This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

@espn.com #usopen nobody wants to watch a desk full of talking heads do post- match analysis. Show another match! Other great players on court. Fans want to watch tennis, not the tennis desk.

@espn.com you know that you're airing the US Open, right? Just checking.

There you have it.
Trump: "Pete Hegseth has been incredible with the as I call it the Department of War. We call it the Department of Defense, but between us I think we're gonna change the name."

Finally, some good news.
The Onion will be available in almost every Barnes & Noble in the country starting this month! “RFK Jr. Fires Piss Czar” will be a visible headline sitting directly next to Bon Appetit and Guns & Ammo.
Do you think we will see The Onion on grocery store newspaper racks in the future or is it just not sustainable anymore to do that?

This is insane.
Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
Authoritarianism in plain sight.

Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced by police to hang up on a press call after being threatened with a felony arrest—for daring to speak.

She can’t be in the bathroom, can’t be on the floor, can’t even talk to the press without GOP cops breathing down her neck.
