There are a lot of tongue-in-cheek jokes about DEI and wokeness keeping things running, but there is also likely a story where these things were part of a system of restraint, propriety, and respect that was truly load bearing

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing children with cancer i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate. “kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

This is irredeemably morally offensive. It's also certain to be deeply unpopular with the vast majority of Americans. This regime is full of guys who are so far out of their minds they can't even tell how far gone they are.

I usually avoid Stancil posting but this I’m afraid is just plain wrong. Hitler and the Nazis saw US eugenic sterilization laws and modeled their eugenic programs after ours. They consulted with eugenicists from California about how to purge the gene pool as “efficiently” as possible

Trump has revoked a U.S. citizen’s Social Security benefits in the hopes they would leave the country. This comes after the administration filed 6,000 immigrants into the SSA’s “death master file,” stripping them of their legal ability to work and receive benefits.

What a phrase: Harvard is “about to learn the price of crossing the president.” If free speech exists, there should be zero “cost” to “crossing the president.” This is to treat Trump as a mob boss, rather than the president of the United States.
