We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Having nonsense views about the dollar and the trade balance: easy.

Having nonsense views that are mutually contradictory: that takes talent

Holy shit, Pete Hegseth is a bloomin’ onion of fucking awful.

Sexual assault, harassment, serial philandering, lobbying for war criminals, financial mismanagement, drinking on the job…

What a mess.

No wonder Trump wants to put him in charge of the Department he hates the most.

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.
between anti-abortion extremists and rfk the trump administration seems to be a targeted effort to increase maternal and early childhood mortality
