In Orwell's 1984, when the regime changed course, its propagandists rewrote history to pretend nothing had changed. Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. And that's what's happening in the United States now, as Trump's propagandists lie about his trade war. This short video exposes the lies.

3 things autistic kids will actually never do: 1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat 2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear 3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

What Trump and Bukele have done to Abrego Garcia “is not incarceration; it is liquidation ... arbitrary, opaque, and unappealable. There are no controlling laws.” “The democratic opposition must go to the mattresses to bring him home.” A rallying cry for America's dissidents, by @jvl.bsky.social.

It was the 44th widest margin in electoral college History. The president does not get to determine where the money gets spent no matter what the margin is.

Sen. John Kennedy on Morning Joe: "With tariffs, an eye for an eye just leaves both people blind. When a govt imposes a tariff, it's putting its thumb on the scale. It interferes with people's freedom to exchange goods and services."

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.
