So what’s one difference between JD Vance, the German right wing party he’s buddies with, and Putin? The latter two would never for a second consider ending their country’s universal healthcare system. Because they are not cruel….

Drug addicts believe they can control themselves while on their drug of choice - like ketamine - and that no one can tell they’re high.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

King Trump looks at taxes just like a King does - as payment to the liege lord for the privilege of occupying space on his land. Not as the sharing of the financial cost of an ordered society. Hence the External Revenue Service. A toll.

Dear King Trump - Taxes aren’t a penalty. They reflect the shared cost of maintaining an ordered society. The absurdity of an External Revenue Service is precisely the idea that you should get to live here for free.

One interesting outcome of the current craziness - people on Bluesky are working overtime to come up with great vocabulary words, recognize hidden ironies, call out stupid grammatical and spelling errors, and otherwise protect and promote proper use of the English language.
