Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes worldwide because of USGS.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

One Weird Trick That Solves Everything

I want a leader who runs the government like a business. Specifically like the worst family-owned business imaginable. A pet store where the tropical fish have all somehow contracted gonorrhea. A failing adult bookstore run by two feuding brothers who keep trying to blow up each others' cars.

Authoritarianism suffocates not only political life but also economic life. Instead of the best products rising to the top, people get coerced into using Dogshit because the ceo of dogshit enterprises owns the government

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

I am in the best physical and mental shape of my life. This stuff is frustrating and infuriating, but the outrage you hear is not irate, nor is it damaging to my health. Do not let these people drive you insane - let your spite fuel you and spread the word about what they’re doing to the computer.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

"Project 2025 approved SSA administrator steps down just 3 weeks into the administration, giving up a GS-15 career in the process, because she knew even one more week on the job would risk putting her in prison for decades" is a very good and comforting sign (Musk's touching the stove)

Worth remembering that Republicans are still horrible in their usual ways. They're proposing transferring trillions in wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest guys ever to live.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

This feels like it was cooked up in a lab to decimate the GOP so the fact that the Democrats will do nothing with it should make their true priorities clear to you

You can make an argument--from their defunding of sexual violence resources to their treatment of incarcerated trans women to Trump himself--this is an adamantly pro-rape administration

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

Another word for "regulation" is... "consumer protection" "environmental protection" "Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

The Atlantic makes more sense when you realize the editors aren't dummies, they believe their job is to normalize fascism. "No no no, not this fight, history's not important. While we wait for the real fight we somehow never get to, can I interest you in misinformation about trans healthcare?"

Just as it did during the rise of the Nazis a century ago, the New York Times is twisting itself in knots to avoid calling fascists fascists. Germany’s AfD is not a “party that downplays Nazis.” It’s a neo-Nazi party.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

you should read david’s thread for a thorough dismantling of this article. i will only add that it is very disappointing, although not altogether surprising, to see some progressives treat trump’s war on DEI as a legitimate policy difference and not as an explicit effort to resegregate the workforce
