The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

The current average American adult reads at a 6th grade level. If Trump is successful, in the next ~40-75 years the average adult may not be able to read at all.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA.
Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

The Republican party has never cared about Vets. They'll parade one through congress to defund the care that vet needs the next day.
Veterans deserve the best health care available. At a time when the VA is already understaffed, these layoffs will hurt veterans. Unacceptable.
Trump must not cut VA health care so that he can give tax breaks to Musk and other billionaires.
The VA must rescind this order.

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs.
This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

Conservatism at its core (conserving traditions) is a good thing... *if the traditions are healthy*.
Modern conservatism is restricting society to a narrow worldview, seeking ideological safety.
Paraphrasing but Ben Franklin said those who would trade [freedom] for safety deserve neither. I agree.

It's not a "male loneliness epidemic," it's a "not putting up with your shit" epidemic. A lot of men out there don't realize women are at the table instead of on the menu.
Unfortunately P2025 & Republican agenda in general is trying to put women back on the menu.

In 1762, Jean-Jacques Rousseau published The Social Contract. Early in the work, he warned about citizens who demand the rights of citizenship without fulfilling the duties of the subject (paying taxes), stating that it would lead to the destruction of the body politic.
He was right.
