I wonder how all the Iowa pig producers flying gigantic Trump flags in front of their CAFO’s are thinking about this.

Trump’s new administration is anti-woman—a playbook from Nazi-era Germany
The Third Reich viewed women’s rights as “confusion of a rootless liberalism” and emphasized the slogan “children, kitchen, church.” Sound familiar? www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

BREAKING: The Monitors were just hacked at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to display an AI video of Trump licking Elon Musk’s toes.
The caption over it read: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”

Oh come on, NBC, this was no ‘accident.’
This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.
And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Transportation Department workers with 'exceptional' reviews were told they were fired for 'performance' issues:
"These letters that we're sending these employees, I feel so bad because they’re lying."

It was never about ‘efficiency’ if excellent, exceptional workers are being fired.
Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Female surrealists:Badass Bitchachos.
Last year was the 100th anniversary of the Surrealist Manifesto. The centennial prompted a flurry of interest in female surrealists – who were often excluded from the movement and often written off as “muses”..... Around women embracing instability and using it to fuel their creative work.
Dismissed, excluded and now adored: how the female surrealists finally had their revenge
Written off as ‘muses’ and denied entry to the movement, they still produced extraordinary work that is only now being appreciated. We enter a gender-breaking world of occult worship – and cats

Good for NAHB for addressing the impact of tariffs on the home building industry. Too bad they don’t address the impact of immigration clampdowns on the immigrant labor it’s dependent upon.
The National Association of Home Builders explains what happens if we make inputs for home construction, such as Canadian lumber, more expensive.
