The abuses detailed in this thread are heinous. I remember when ICE didn’t exist. We need to abolish ICE and the DHS, they’re all irredeemably corrupt.

WHAT? Home sewing, aside from being out of style, is seen as women's business, it's not considered to be important. But these patterns comprise a cultural, business, and a technological heritage. The patterns with the business records should be held by the Library of Congress or Smithsonian.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

I am at a global health conference this week. I do not think Americans fully understand the degree of harm we have done to our international reputation and to our ability to wield soft power for decades to come.

Pam Bondi says they have an "anti-semitism task force." Trump's recent "whoever pays the most gets to come" dinner included spopel who had bitcoins named "fuck the Jews." Task force?

In some ways an even worse indictment than the use of AI is that simply having a couple of humans read and fact check the report before release cld have mostly or entirely removed the evidence. Just sloppy dumbfucks, basically. The guys who are getting rid of all the vaccines.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

When you hear Trump regime officials and GOP members of Congress slam the rulings of "unelected judges," please understand that is their way of saying they reject the US Constitution and want Trump as King.

Analysis by Glenn Kessler: There is no dispute that people have died because the Trump administration abruptly suspended foreign aid. One might quibble over how many people have died. But you can’t call it a lie.

As Budget Chair I got constant Republican lectures to ignore looming climate disaster because of the debt. “The debt, the debt, the DEBT!!” Now they’re in charge and they’re hiking debt limit $4 trillion for tax breaks, mostly to the richest. What a sham.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
