This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Deeply shocking. In a fiction movie, it wouldn't be believable. State Dept denied medevac to his pregnant wife on the edge of hemorrhaging until it was too late. Now, they can't leave the country. And they may have to personally pay $120,000 for a NICU medevac. Heads should roll! Peter Marocco's!

After Melania personally pitched her personal documentary to Bezos last December, Amazon paid $40MM —almost 3X what Disney offered. And now she’s hawking “sponsorships” to the film, for $10MM each. Makes the old Trump hotel in DC look like chump change. Gift link: www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

Despite Trump claiming Head Start funds were unfrozen, it looks like the real president — Elon Musk — was illegally blocking them anyway. Musk claims to be a pro-natalist. This move exposes the lie. LIke all "natalists," he's just a misogynist. www.salon.com/2025/02/06/e...

" OpenAI has announced that the US National Laboratories will use its deeply flawed AI models to help with a "comprehensive program in nuclear security." The tech will be used to "reduce the risk of nuclear war." As if the reason people wage wars is that they don't have tech to prevent it.

Again, I don’t understand how threatening the territorial sovereignty of, & starting trade wars on the basis of national security laws with, our closest ally in the world is not an immediate presidency-ending scandal. We are deeply unserious country whose constitution has completely failed.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
