Coolest Subaru I have ever seen

The people demand the downfall of the regime.

Well this sucks.

It's just not worth it.

One of these photos is CECOT, El Salvador, present day. The other is Buchenwald, Germany, April 16, 1945.

I grew up in the 60s/70s. We had dramatic civil unrest. Our best leaders were assassinated. Protests & race riots nationwide. Vietnam. No women’s/minority rights. Natl Guard & cops beating & shooting kids on college campuses. Economic strife, oil embargo’s, inflation. We didn’t give up. Don’t now.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

... And?

I have zero expertise on the markets, but I know this is bad.

Is this the flash point where the Trump Administration defies SCOTUS?

Anyway. I remain unconvinced that somehow the repeated milquetoast capitulation of centrist Democrats and the "we definitely need the approval of the Cheneys" approach to campaigning has absolutely nothing to do with widespread voter apathy.

The Supreme Court has to be totally reformed with impeachments for all treasonous justices and that trickling down to lower courts. Fuck judicial immunity. They must lose their careers for this.

Two factor authentication is the best way to ensure that my parents can't sign into a single thing without my help

That’s an interesting and quite clever approach that lets you incorporate changes in tariffs as they come

"It’s been clear from October 2023, Israel is interested in depopulating the Gaza Strip, it's now saying the quiet part out loud, they’re seeking to rid Gaza of [Palestinians]", says Mohamad Elmasry, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies. 🟥 Read analysis: aje.io/o5i1qy

Using Signal for our national security is clearly a feature not a glitch of this new administration 🤦🏾‍♀️!

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

i’m only one bad decision away from pushing a shopping cart full of empty baked bean cans down the freeway and yelling at trucks

It is sad that this is what it would take people to protest. Not kidnapping people to another country under false pretenses because you want to whitewash and/or not putting the country into a recession because you don't think trade policies are fair

China continues trolling the US with new videos. Here’s one - “US sweatshop factory”

And on April 19th we're going to do it again even bigger

It really sucks having a bunch of dipshits running this country. We are definitely not cool anymore.

Don't be surprised if the "concessions" Donald Trump is looking for from foreign countries in exchange for dialing back tariffs are not "you need to buy more pork from American farmers" but "you need to lease another floor in Trump Tower for ten years."

How the hell did the dumbest people take control of the government and our livelihoods?

An ecological disaster on it's way!

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”
