Nice to see almost 80 years of one of the strongest defense alliances in the world disintegrate in a couple of weeks because of a Nazi South African who makes exploding cars and Putin's orange fluffer.

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

I genuinely think that people who throe a sieg heil should be met with violence up to and including lethal violence, and were I ever on a jury for such a crime I would decline to convict.

This Pennsylvania county stopped charging people 'lodging fees' for the time they spent in jail. Then commissioners voted to forgive over $65 million in these fees. “What a light of hope this has been,” said one woman whose son owed $17,000. boltsmag.org/jail-de...

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

This. Falling for disinformation isn't necessarily due to a lack of critical thinking, and definitely isn't a sign of low intelligence. It deliberately feeds into primal instincts, which everyone has. Comprehensive research skills and the ability to counteract biases isn't something widely taught.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

And that's number four by my count. The Overton Window has been moving for a while but we might be looking back on Musk's salute as another turning point. And when you refuse to call this out for what it is -- straight-up Nazism -- it helps it metastasize.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Hegseth's tattoos got a lot of attention, but of course he denied they were racist. What probably should have gotten more attention: He belongs to a church that teaches slavery was the pinnacle of race relations. dougwilsonbelieves.com/beliefs/sout...

I've spent the last few years defending CBC from Poilievre's "Defund the CBC" messaging but this? This is indefensible. Why don't people realize that "Just asking Qs" is playing into Trump's hand? When even the CBC is doing clickbait about Canada being invaded, we are in dire, dire straights.

Honestly the debate over whether we should vote for AOC for president is adorable. This is the party that forced Joe Biden down our throats. You think they'd let anyone left of Amy Klobuchar win a nomination? That's precious.

This is 💩 for the same reason those "Make America Feminist for Once" or "Canada is not for sale" (in the same font) hats are 💩. You think you're doing something subversive, but it's a rhetorical tool that plays into the hand of the oppressor because you are ultimately still advertising them.
