People whining about DEI don’t realize veterans are a major part of it. If you checked “veteran” on a job app, congrats—you’re in DEI. These programs help vets transition to civilian jobs, just like they support other marginalized groups. Killing DEI hurts those who served!

What is happening right now? I'm agreeing with Pence? Crap...

My Xbox is digital-only, and I buy my PC games from Steam. The only reason GameStop is still around is because of the Reddit-fueled short squeeze that temporarily boosted its stock. Hardly anyone actually shops there. thehill.com/business/515...

Dear Canadians on Vancouver Island. I sent my son, who is Canadian, back to univ after Xmas with my car that has KY plates as I couldn't get an ICBC appt while I was there to swap them out. I will do it when I am in BC for a week in April. Could you please quit flipping him off everywhere he goes?

Trump just signed an executive order saying only the President and AG can decide 'what the law is.' That’s straight-up authoritarianism. The law isn’t whatever he says it is—this isn’t a dictatorship. Anyone still pretending he’s about 'freedom' is lying to themselves.

That’s the purest form of greed. When you have more than enough but still choose to take from those who have nothing, it’s not just selfish—it’s evil. No one should have to suffer so billionaires can hoard even more wealth.

Russia invaded Ukraine, and now the U.S. is negotiating? Appeasement never works—Putin only sees weakness. Disgusting. abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-...

My 13-year-old needed lab work—total cost: $469. Since it’s in-network, they adjusted it down by $392.33. Insurance paid $70.86, and I owed $5.99. But without insurance? I’d owe the full $469. So if you can’t afford insurance, you pay more? How is that okay? Our healthcare system is broken.

Yep, the find out part of the eff around!!

Musk’s “efficiency” strikes again—100 OPM staffers fired en masse over a conference call. No notice, no dignity, just a “pack your stuff” purge. Trump’s government is now run like Twitter: chaos, cruelty, and a total disregard for the people actually doing the work. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Trump & Musk just gutted the VA, firing researchers working on cancer, opioids, and burn pit exposure. Veterans’ healthcare? Trashed. All for their reckless gov't purge. Cutting public services to flex their power—this isn’t "efficiency," it’s sabotage. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you give in to fatalism, wallow in disappointment, or resign yourself to the way things are instead of fighting, you’re handing victory to the very forces you oppose. The biggest threat to change isn’t the enemy, it’s the cowardly cynicism that tells you it’s pointless to try.

When Trump took office, Tesla faced multiple worker rights complaints, including UAW charges filed with the NLRB in 2017. Trump reshaped the board with anti-labor appointees, shifting rulings in favor of corporations. Musk's union-busting? Suddenly much easier. Funny how that works.

The federal civilian payroll was $271B in 2022. Trump’s tax cuts—mostly benefiting the rich—cost $400B per year to extend. Now, as Trump and Elon slash thousands of federal jobs, remember: it’s never about 'saving money.' It’s about who they think deserves it.

Why can't MAGAits get this? Oil companies won’t drill more just to sell for less. When U.S. output rises, OPEC+ cuts supply to keep prices up. They want $80/barrel to stay profitable. Last time gas was $2, refineries shut down. Cheap gas isn’t coming back unless demand crashes.

JD Vance whining about "free speech" in Munich while his party bans books, censors history, and throws a fit over drag shows is peak GOP hypocrisy. Maybe he should worry less about Europe and more about his own party’s authoritarian cosplay. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Trump’s “National Energy Council” is just a favor to Big Oil. No crisis, no shortage—just a pointless stunt to gut regulations and pretend Biden ruined energy. We’re pumping more oil than ever, but sure, let’s “fix” what isn’t broken. thehill.com/policy/energ...

"Drain the Swamp 2.0"—where instead of getting rid of corruption, he just fires the watchdogs, guts ethics rules, and hands out get-out-of-bribery-free cards. At this rate, the only thing left in D.C. with integrity is the pigeons.

Trump's second term is like a bad sequel: firing inspectors general, gutting oversight, and pausing anti-bribery laws. It's "Drain the Swamp" in reverse.

At this rate, the Constitution’s gonna file a restraining order.

And always will be

TikTok is back on the App Store!!

These are real signs posted at DFW Airport. Those “cameras”? Just self-flushing sensors. And that phone number? It connects directly to Dan Patrick’s office.

Good morning @support.bsky.team! I’d like to humbly request an advanced search feature so I can more easily search my posts by keyword, and I’d love if we could send photos/reply/react in DMs. Thank you! Love it here!

Well, I upgraded my storage on Apple and canceled my subscription on Google. I won't support a company that has bent the knee to the dictator in charge! I'm buying a 4TB drive so I can canx apple if they do the same thing!

What the actual fuck @google !!! They actually changed the name on my phones map. This is disappointing and disgusting!!

Since DOG-E is auditing the entire country for wistful spending, does anyone know how much it’s going to cost the tax payers so trump can go to the superbowl this year? Thanks!

It gives me such joy knowing this is going to absolutely piss off the 🍊💩

I’ve never missed a Super Bowl—until now. This year, I refuse to give them my viewership. Removing End Racism while welcoming 🍊💩, knowing they’ll put him on screen? No thanks. Instead, I’ll be out with my kids, making real memories that actually matter. That’s worth more than any game.
