Exactly 80 years ago this week, U.S. soldiers were discovering abandoned concentration camps. Colonel Heydan Sears made local townspeople walk past the piles of dead bodies while rejecting their claims that only a small fraction of German’s were to blame. #silenceiscompliance

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the ACTUAL FUCK
Trump just denied the Musk/China story. Then a few minutes later the WSJ confirmed it. Any guesses who’s governing the country right now?

The US added only 151,000 jobs in February, lower than the forecast 170,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.1%.

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that hiding a gun or keeping it somewhere “out-of-reach” will prevent a child from getting their hands on it. Every day, there are far too many incidents across the U.S. where kids get their hands on guns that adults believed were stored securely, but weren’t.
