Like ultimately the GOP just doesn't care about other people and are ok with it if they suffer and die. They used to try to mask this with bullshit claims that the safety net actually harms poor people or that it would destroy the economy or whatever. Now they don't feel they have to anymore.

a borderline-senile angry guy who aspires to be a dictator in charge, surrounded by grifters and absolute right-wing freaks who don't believe in "science" or "medicine" or "equal rights for anyone who isn't a straight, white man", what could possibly go wrong. I'm sure this will all work out great.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

The fact that the Wikimedia Foundation was ever considering this and is in fact still considering it is devastating. The damage they've done to Wikipedia's name is incalculable. I frankly don't want to give money to Wikipedia anymore until everyone who championed this shitbrained idea resigns.

Too bad we don't deport monsters who violate the Constitution and destroy America from within, but focus all our time and resources criminalizing families who cross the border to make less than minimum wage in the service, construction, and health care industry while growing the economy.

I love when people call cyclists "hysterical" or "easily offended" as if they've never seen a driver absolutely lose their shit when they're behind a car going the speed limit or when a pedestrian crosses the street. Drivers are perpetually whiny babies. Cyclists just don't want to get killed.
