"Freedom of speech" but if you utter the word woman you lose your job.

Donald Trump has more billionaires in his cabinet then there are trans athletes in the NCAA.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

You can't replace the income tax with tariff revenue, and even if you could, it would be just about the most wildly regressive tax burden change imaginable.

Trump and Musk have like 8 working neurons between them.

Don't throw stones when you live in a glass cancel culture.

Every day more of the few remaining checks and balances are shredded. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Seems a bit on the nose. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

Donald Trump as President brings nothing but crime, chaos, and corruption. People hate what they're seeing. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

"Useful" is one of the worst categories of idiot.

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

I may not know you, but I know that you're objectively better than any billionaire.

What did your average conservative used to do with the hours a day they now spend thinking about the existence of trans people?

The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Selena Gomez is the only acceptable billionaire.

They're terrified of her, because unlike most Dems, she hasn't surrendered.

Less than a month since a crash that took 67 lives, Trump is firing hundreds of federal employees who inspect and maintain air traffic control communications, radio and computer systems.  This is extremely dangerous and could have deadly consequences. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Predators unite! www.ft.com/content/3f95...

most journalists today can be divided into two groups: dedicated, impoverished people who mostly write for publications you've never heard of that started eighteen months ago or JP Random House The First, who writes columns for the New York Times about which ethnic groups it should be OK to hunt

been crunching some numbers and can't help but notice there's a lot of us and only one of him

They got canceled for deadnaming a body of water. We live in the dumbest, most hypocritical time. www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/m...

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Maybe Tesla could work on their trucks surviving car washes before they put them to the test of a live fire zone.

I think I found the corruption. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump has made clear to Hamas that if they stop fighting, every single man, woman, and child in Palestine will be permanently banished from the land. With that promise, why would they stop fighting?

Imagine what the right would have said about Biden if an unelected billionaire stood behind him in the oval office like a puppet master.

If Trump follows through with his Greenland, Denmark, Gaza, Mexico or Iran warmongering and imperialism every US soldier should resign in protest. “Just following orders” doesn’t cut it.

Promises made, promises *squirrel!* www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

That's capitalism, baby. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It's so weird because Trump told us we'd finally be respected again on the world stage.

I wonder if the Secretary of Defense is drunk right now.

Smirks

Makes sense then that the elites are pushing so hard for it. www.404media.co/microsoft-st...

Just a reminder: www.forbes.com/sites/lindse...

Any power or immunity of the presidency MAGA wasn't calling for Biden to have, means jack shit now as a general rule.

I would really love to have been wrong about any of this. www.rawstory.com/kristi-noem-...

This is going to be the most wildly corrupt period in American history. www.ibtimes.com/trump-signs-...

So we can sue Fox News over this now, right? www.cnn.com/2024/10/24/m...

MAHA?

Sure, but on the other hand, the richest people in the world will have even MORE money that they could never hope to spend if they lived to be 1000. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Now do Musk, who has said and done far worse. www.mediaite.com/politics/dog...

Are you sure they weren't just Roman posts?

Trump thinks Gaza is prime real estate, just not for Palestinians. 📹 @jordanuhl.com Read more: interc.pt/42EbccJ

Elon Musk should be behind bars.
