How do we feel about this? Misgendering as a weapon? It gives me the icks in 2025 but maybe I'm alone here.

I want to know more about Bari Weiss' relationship with Peter Thiel. Who else wants to know more about that?

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Inbox: Morgan Stanley economists warn that Trump's immigration restrictions look likely to drag on GDP this year, increase inflationary pressures, limit interest rate cuts

It's not (only) to expose the criminality, but the unconstitutionality. It's "no taxation without representation." Our elected representatives in Congress passed legislation mandating spending of our tax dollars, & random guys are deciding Congress doesn't get to do that. Total Article I failure.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

Gift link. The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢 The White House posted that pic with “ASMR” tag. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Please stop saying it saved money until you understand the value of what was cut. They are downsizing, and if the stuff getting cut had real value, its not a saving.

RFK's not-so-veiled threat to take mental health drugs away is even worse than it looks at first blush. He wants to replace these medications with labor camps. This fits with the larger, eugenics-informed Trump/Musk agenda. www.salon.com/2025/02/19/r...

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Be not afraid The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries). The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia. The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

That's the MAGA Grifter Game Plan - they distract you over here with a little anti-trans bigotry in an executive order about school sports, while billionaires over there are stealing your Social Security number. #ResistTrump

Czechoslovakia as a part of Germany? Hitler thinks it would be a boon to his legacy, but would the Sudetenland vote for his opponents?

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.

Antivaxxers will worry about imaginary neurologic damage from vaccines but do not care about reality like this year’s influenza strain causing necrotizing encephalitis in children.
