The people for whom these ships are names are greater warriors than any of these mental midgets will ever be. It takes more courage to live your life authentically and/or stand up for others than to kill someone who is trying to kill you, or worse, someone who kills innocents.
Authoritarian regimes erase history to silence resistance. Renaming USNS Harvey Milk—during #PrideMonth —isn’t neutral. It’s a warning.

We honor LGBTQ+ leaders by defending democracy. Don’t let them rewrite our future.

Ah, yes, I remember now, “Some animals are more equal than others.” The pigs run the farm.

No truer words have been spoken. He has been afforded so much air time since 2014, much more than anyone else you could name. Due to this obvious favoritism. I began boycotting mainstream media before it was cool.
There are many reasons we're here in fascism, but one of the biggest is that nearly all members of the media have spent the last ten years not asking Donald Trump a follow-up question.

I was led to believe we would see transparency like never before under this administration. I guess I misunderstood.
Musk’s staffers are now forcing federal employees at several agencies including the FAA to sign non-disclosure agreements. The goal is simple: silence the resistance through more threats and now, forced agreements. Maybe we’re not supposed to be talking about being forced to sign NDAs… oops, lol.

Well, duh! None of the economic policies rolled out to date address the spend, baby, spend habits of the legislative and executive branches. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
CBO finds that DOGE failed to achieve measurable savings in March.

At first glance, spending fell $38B (7%) compared to last year. But March began on a Saturday so payments that normally go out in March went out in Feb

After adjusting, spending *rose* $45B (8%) compared to March 24.

I know how this book ends. Napoleon and Squealer are running the farm. I’d like to remind anyone reading this, you are not one of the porkers. The sheep will continue to bleat. Eventually, the knacker’s van will come for you, too.

So this is what magoos mean when we are winning.
Compared to Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela, Poland, Trump is moving MUCH faster, more aggressively, and with broader claim to power. We're not in danger of becoming those autocracies--we're very quickly surpassing them. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

The president’s escalating conflict with federal courts is even more aggressive than what happened in countries like Hungary and Turkey, experts say.

Absolutely frightening. The death of due process.
Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

Trump is spewing misinformation about Social Security so he can ultimately justify cutting your benefits. Don't fall for it.
Tens of millions of dead people aren't getting Social Security checks, despite Trump and Musk claims

The bullies we knew in school now operate our government. Anyone who thinks Canada should be the 51st state is openly hostile to self-governance.
Boston Globe reports antics of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at Vermont/Quebec library that sits on Canada-U.S. border. She repeatedly stepped over taped boundary marker in middle of the library, referring to Canada as the "51st State" every time she stood in Canada.

Legislation was proposed in Congress today to feature the current president on legal tender in anticipation of all he will accomplish in the next four years. Leaders frequently appear on fiat money in dictatorships and monarchies not western democracies.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.
