Seems like it's everyone's patriotic duty to report men getting hair plugs and erectile dysfunction meds, as those are both gender-affirming care

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Never forget.
Title reads: "It Didn't Start with Gas Chambers." Text below reads: "It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and controlling the opposition. One party dividing citizens into "us" vs "them" and calling on their supporters to harrass "them". Below it states: "It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen." Beneath the text is a picture of Nazi Germany.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named DreamLeaf with the handle @DreamLeaf5 , accompanied by sunflower and watermelon emojis. The post features a cartoon-style illustration on a light blue background. On the left, there is a figure composed of various symbols and items associated with conservative or right-wing ideologies, including a red "Make America Great Again" hat, a Fox News logo, an OAN logo, a Confederate flag, a Tesla logo, a QAnon symbol, a Russian flag, and a coffee mug with a conservative slogan. This figure is speaking in a speech bubble that says, "they brainwashed you." On the right, there is a simple black silhouette of a person with a heart on their chest displaying a rainbow flag, symbolizing support for the LGBTQ+ community. This figure responds with a speech bubble that says, "really?"

This past week, the Chinese learned

1) exactly where Trump's pain points are;

2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches;

and

3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president.

Highly useful information.

And yeah, somewhere in the mire of the national unconscious, Democrats are the wives who are supposed to placate and Republicans are the husbands who expect appeasement.
In mainstream discourse, it's become standard to blame the excesses of the right on liberals, the left, feminists, Black Lives Matter, affirmative action, environmental protection, and BIPOC and LGBTQ people. It's a way that the right is granted masculine prerogatives and the left feminine responsibilities for the right's behavior. It's also routine to blame the Democratic Party for what the Republican Party does. The two parties are unconsciously regarded as akin to a husband and wife in a traditional marriage in which it's the job of the wife to placate and soothe the husband and help him realize his goals or be held responsible for his outbursts and outrages. And in the same way the diverse population left of center is supposed to make nice to the right or be responsible for when the right goes wrong. These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet." Behind these stories is the assumption that some people matter more than other people, and that we who matter less have to pander to those who matter more – conservatives when they are imagined as straight, as white, as male, as rural, as salt of the earth, as the real Americans, unlike us ethnic/ immigrant/ urban/ non-male/ non-straight people.

Thanks, Fox “News.”
The image features a text statement with a stylized background. The text reads: "Only in America do regular folks fight against things that would actually help them — like free healthcare, free college, and fair work conditions — just because rich people convinced them it was bad." The words "free healthcare," "free college," and "fair work conditions" are underlined in red. The statement is attributed to a user with the handle @kazecomedy . At the bottom left, there is a logo or text that says "Engines of Solidarity." The background image shows three people in a stylized, halftone dot pattern, with two of their faces covered by red and blue circles, respectively. The overall tone of the image is critical of societal attitudes in America, suggesting manipulation by the wealthy to oppose social benefits.

Yup. They want women to get married and have babies and lose all their rights. Women are people

Yez. Please stop saying the market “soared” because frump lowered tariffs that he created to begin with. The market has not recovered. And even if/when it does, that will never undo the damage
