Long story short on this one: Trump is officially moving the trade war into the software development industry.

To my daughter: This is what indoctrination in the schools looks like. You're going to hear the masses demand you stop everything you're doing while this plays. You don't have to do that. I didn't fight a war for you or your classmates to be forced to do things you don't want to do.

Why is it every doctor show in every country has the same first episode? - introduce the unique personality of the main character - prove their ability by deflating someone's chest in public (if the directive is feeling adventurous, a public tracheotomy)

Because for some reason congress, the states, and the courts don't want to stop it -- Here is the next step in the creation of a dictatorship: consolidation of government power into a single office.

What a ridiculous straw man article. The only state that mentioned wanting to do this was California, and they never implemented it. This is a waste of time and only exists to keep the support of uneducated Republicans

A pop-punk classic from LONG ago! Relient K - Who I Am Hates Who I've Been

PSA: The reason Medicaid & food stamps are on the chopping block to pave the way for more GOP tax cuts for the rich is because poor people don’t have better lobbyists.

Call me new-fashioned, but i don't think someone who believes in a sentient force of creation who had son that is famous for performing essentially magic have any ground to stand on when using the "it's not natural" argument against the LGBTQIA+ community

The lowest earners of Huntsville, AL are suffering from the federal cuts implemented by Trump. This comes after the TVU, who oversees Huntsville Utilities, announced a rate increase of 3.5% for 2025 starting with January's bill

I don't understand the insult behind "snowflake." Like I get the will melt under pressure or dainty stuff but like.. Snowflakes are known scientifically to be unique and geometrically aesthetic. Calling me a snowflake is calling me 1 of a kind and beautiful, regardless of any implied insult

Taking advantage of the anniversary of the operation - and a specific event during it - that resulted in my own PTSD to remind everyone to check on the combat vets of your life. Don't need to ask directly. Just make sure they know you're there.

There's a guy running rampant through all of our departments and labeling things he doesnt know the purpose of as waste, all the while our taxes are paying for this guy and his team's salaries to prepare, file, and propose stuff like this

I can't recommend this guided internal reflection journal enough.

The kids know themselves with or without anyone insisting they're cis or trans. Midwest teenage me with zero reference about trans people still knew something was different and created such a strong nonbinary personality that I even went as far as referring to myself in third person.

Here we have: - An announcement that investigations into warcrimes and humanitarian violations are to be ignored - persecution for ICC travelers in the US - a hit list on any citizen who has donated to the ICC - a national emergency call in order to secure funding to do the above

Okay, in this election you have the lady who wants to make the world incrementally better or the literal antichrist that will destroy everything you’ve ever known. “I WANT WORLD PEACE OR IM NOT VOTING!” That’s isn’t one of the options. “IM NOT VOTING!” 92 days later: “HOW DO WE STOP THIS?!!”

Suddenly realizing all the deleted half-novels, storyboarded movies, and burned notebooks during the late teen - early 20s "Aspiring Writer" phase were all filled with trans allegorical scenes and concepts that my subconscious was screaming for me to recognize ...neat!

We've moved on to lists of citizens marked as political targets for harassment, punishment, and potentially violence in the wrong hands. It was done incredibly easily to federal employees, how long until community "watch lists" are posted in neighborhoods?

The entire government is letting Jeff down

Democrats are steering to fight back but where the fuck are the Republicans who weren't in on this plan? Why aren't they stepping in?

Get at it, Dems! It seems across the board that democrats finally got back off the ground after the flurry of jabs and hooks of the last two weeks, and are hitting back as hard as possible.

Not my video, but this is going through so many heads right about now

Since 20-yr old me has been right all along politically, I guess it's time to go back to some of those beliefs about how to be happy in a hard world. The biggest one - sing, often, like nobody is around. Do it even when you know people are around.
