If they aren't Nazis, how come so many of them are giving Nazi salutes? Still shots can be taken out of context. The video shows it clearly.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

There is no question Trump is a Russian asset. The only question is how long he's been a Russian asset.

There's nothing "fiscally responsible" about paying to break contracts and remove EV chargers, or taking vehicles out of service before they've reached the end of their useful lives. This is the fossil fuel billionaires hurting us to enrich themselves. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

DOGE hasn't arrived at the Pentagon yet (maybe next week,) but drunken idiot Pete Hegseth already has their priorities in mind and a "plan" for a massive remap and downsizing of the DOD. I feel we spend too much on defense, but this? Lunacy. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n...

This is the part where Trump tries to turn the US military services into a body which swears allegiance to him rather than the United States of America.

We know what the causes are for collapsing numbers of pollinators. It's lack of habitat and neonicotinoid insecticides. It's something we should all be concerned about. Without pollinators, we starve. Literally. Apocalyptically.
