The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

Seems weird to boast about foreign investment in US manufacturing then raid a foreign-owned manufacturing plant to detain hundreds for probable removal proceedings. Especially when it's an ally foreign country.
Let alone the inhumanity of it all.

I try to think as little as possible about X. But man, I gotta say, it is rather disappointing that corporations and universities continue to use a platform that is being explicitly engineered to spread racist propaganda. Like, why did your ancestors bother evolving a backbone if you won't use it?

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.
Make it make sense.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Yes. It only gets worse. Day by day, it gets worse. And harder to influence and stop.
By all rights, we should have a million people on the mall, constantly rotating, until SCOTUS ties him down to the Constitution and re-establishes law & order. And DOGE and the extortion must stop.

Real quick as I'm losing steam: dismantling CFPB puts consumers in a *worse* position than they were in 2008.
The consumer protection laws were still being enforced by the Fed and other agencies, just not particularly well. Now the signal is they won't be enforced at all.

What's more, most Americans don't know it or believe it. They miraculously haven't heard or they don't care, apathetic and too anaesthetized on entertainment and consumerism. By the time it hits them, it will be too late for all of us.
Our democracy is being dismantled and our populace is being terrorized by a clown car of pricks who’ve never known kindness, empathy, humor, rhythm, style, or consensual sex without the exchange of money or favors.

Folks, this is a scam.
The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs.
Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

When he was in the Navy, Jimmy Carter’s submarine was once docked in Bermuda. Some British officers invited only the white crew members to a cocktail party or something like that, and Carter said that if the crewmen of color weren’t invited then nobody was going. This was in the 1950s.

Carter used the power of his post presidency to nearly eradicate guinea worm. There were 3.5 million cases when the Carter Center’s work began in 1986. He said in 2015 that he wanted to see “guinea worm completely eradicated before I die.” There’ve been 7 cases this year. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
Jimmy Carter took on the awful Guinea worm when no one else would — and he triumphed
Carter targeted diseases primarily affecting the poor in remote areas — notably "Guinea worm disease." Because of his commitment, case numbers plummeted from 3.6 million a year to just 13 in 2022.
