it’s pretty remarkable how the Democratic Party is self-flagellating more in 2025 after swapping out their candidate and losing the popular vote by 1.5% than republicans did in 2021 after losing the popular vote by 4.5% and inciting an insurrection

I’ll never get over how, in an era when women’s rights and status are being attacked and eroded in law and culture alike, we were incessantly told that it was boys and men whose suffering we needed to attend to.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

U.S. corporate profits surged to a record high in Q4 2024, according to Commerce Department data. Remember this as Trump tries to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. Corporations have used inflation as cover to price-gouge us. Trump wants them to keep more of the spoils.

Trump is erasing America's racism in the past and making eugenics official American ideology. In the executive order he labels certain things as “improper ideologies” One of the things he explicitly mentions as improper is “thinking of race as a social construct” This is actual Nazi shit.

Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador. /technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.

DOGE has not only failed to cut government costs, it has increased them. Trump's first month in office showed federal spending of $603 billion in February. $36 billion higher than last February. A record high for that month, and up 6%.

There are too many examples of military operations that are successful or fail due to weather. It’s not like one of the jobs of the S2 is to brief weather and its impact on operations. We really are being led by a bunch of subpar GWOT officers who couldn’t make it pass CPT or MAJ.
