the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

The notion that Republican administrations are competent or more competent managers of our armed forces seems to be one of those myths that reliably never survives contact with reality. Why it gets taken as an article of faith by some outlets really should make you wonder.

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

Polling around a civil rights issue like trans rights is very stupid. You support it because it's right. And then you go from there. The politics isn't whether to support it or not but how to do your job as a politician to make others support it as well.
