Rural areas will be disproportionately affected, because private delivery companies use USPS for ‘last mile delivery.’ Fun additional detail: Many rural areas of the US don’t have ready access to medical care. So good luck if you get meds by mail www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Growing up in the 90s, the Greatest Generation was always brought up like a golden child. Whatever problem was brought up, the self-sacrifice and obedience of people during WWII was brought to haunt. But those folks never cared what those actual vets thought or wanted. youtube.com/shorts/7797z...

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

The Trump administration right-wing social engineers are not allowing VA professionals to even acknowledge that the victims of sexual assault are more often women, and if an attendee asks about gay or lesbian people, workers are to pretend that's not a real thing.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

📢 EACH ONE OF THESE should be a massive scandal. Just another day in the Trump-Musk administration.
