NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination.
“We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

This couple saw Muttville on a local TV newscast and opened their hearts for hospice dog, Brandy! They said, "she stood out because she's a senior and she deserves a loving home with people who will care & love her for her for the time she has left." Brandy's 16, her last guardian sadly passed away.

Trump’s promises to conservatives raise fears of more book bans in U.S.
Book bans have increased by nearly 200% in American schools. Will Trump's reelection inspire a new round of right-wing attacks on books about race and gender? Some conservatives feel emboldened.

Weird how most of the media coverage on "inflation" didn't point out soaring profit. It was always about increased prices but rarely pointing out the companies were enriching themselves to an even greater extent than ever before.
Corporate profits hit an all-time high last year and continued to rise in 2024.
Just so happens that in 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago.
Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.
