In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect.

This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus.

Tulsi Gabbard's ironic Cruella Deville hairstyle is really befitting for her performances lately. Found this gem on the interwebs.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Look at the beautiful color of these purple sweet potatoes! I have a bunch stored in my basement from last season. I am making some dog food and I'm going to eat them too. The water after boiling was such a beautiful crisp deep purple color. Yummy!

What is Anti-Fascist Farming?

It’s farming that resists extractive capitalism, white supremacy, and corporate control of our food system. It’s about land stewardship, mutual aid, and food sovereignty.

ANTI-FASCIST FARMING TIP OF THE DAY:

COMMUNITY OVER COMPETITION – SHARE SEEDS, TOOLS, AND KNOWLEDGE. MUTUAL AID AMONG FARMERS AND GROWERS STRENGTHENS FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AND WEAKENS CORPORATE CONTROL. TAG A LOCAL FARM, SEED SWAP, OR CO-OP THAT EMBODIES THIS!

I don't know anyone who finds an issue with "rooting out corruption and fraud, waste and abuse". But here is the thing. You can't fight corruption with corruption. That's what is at issue here. Not sure how we get folks to realize this.

A lot of folks are expecting a fallout with Elon. They can't understand why Trump is happy to play games like renaming the Gulf of Mexico and take over the Kennedy Center. This is why. He got a multi-million dollar payment the day before taking office and out of jail. fortune.com/2025/02/11/t...

This is a big deal. Farmers are getting hit hard by funding freezes. They have contracts that aren't being fulfilled leaving them at a crossroads, many having to face uncertainty and the possibility of losing their farms.

This is insane. Standing there in his coat and a MAGA hat holding court while the dipshit pretending to be President sits there being talked at by a toddler and ignoring him. How much did Trump get paid in that crypto scam to roll over like this?
