"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

DOGE is crippling the Social Security Administration.

Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center?
Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him.
So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.

The Musk/Trump junta is exploiting an utterly deadly loophole in the American system:
Courts may rule against evil white men, but evil white men have figured out that no one is, thus far, willing to *lay hands* on them to enforce those orders.
We must end this loophole now.

Someone must enforce the court orders against these baby-soft-handed terrorists.
what we’re seeing is that the courts are willing to rule against the government on certain things but there’s no one to actually enforce it.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.
