Veterans Who Depend on Mental Health Care Keep Losing Their Therapists Under Trump Hundreds of mental health professionals have left the Department of Veterans Affairs since President Donald Trump took office, leaving staff “at a breaking point” and some veterans waiting as long as ...

These MAGA frauds have never given a shit about veterans. They use vets as props. It's always poor kids going to fight and die in rich men's wars.

When it's time to provide our veterans with care or help, you get this--over and over again.

Witkoff isn't stupid. He knows the Russians are lying.

HE DOESN'T CARE.

Witkoff and Kushner are hellbent on doing business with Putin. Like the rest of the fraud MAGA GOP, they don't give even the idea of a shit about American soldiers dying for Donnie and Bibi's war of choice.

Yes, White Men, We're the Problem. All of Us. Hey, guys, it’s time for us to have a white man-to-white man conversation.

"...when so many fragile, insecure, and emotionally-addled white guys are doing such harm to marginalized and vulnerable communities, all while crying about their supposed oppression, men of character and decency need to step up and make sure that they know that in us they will not find a..."

The zealots screaming about upholding the 2nd Amendment are the same zealots screaming about canceling the 1st Amendment, including the Establishment Clause.

This is what happens when White Christian Nationalists take over the government.

The Corruption Chronicles - Issue One One year into his second term in the White House, President Donald Trump has reshaped the presidency to drastically blur the lines between government and business, abetting unprecedented levels of…

Lots of people triple their net worth in a single year...by stealing every dollar they can.

One year of Donald Trump profiteering from public office and selling access and influence:

The thing about tariffs and UFOs is that Trump raped children and is covering up other elites who also raped children.

They’re Echoing Nazis. It’s Not an Accident. It’s a Strategy When fascists tell you who they are, believe them.

MAGA feigns indignation when you call them Nazis.
So why are they so openly using the Nazi playbook then?

Trump's economic adviser says authors of tariff study should be "disciplined" The findings of the New York Fed paper runs counter to what the president claims about his tariffs.

When reality intrudes on the regime's down-is-up narrative, they try to punish reality itself.

YOU, the American consumer, are paying 90% of the tariffs. Period. All the noise from jackasses like Kevin Hassett is just that--noise from a jackass.

Opinion | The right’s obsession with American "heritage" is all about who get to be seen as "white" Philip Bump: What Elon Musk was really getting at when he incorrectly claimed “American culture” is of “English-Scotts-Irish origin.”

A century ago, Italians and Greeks weren't considered "white."

Jews are still not considered white by white nationalists/racist assholes.

"Heritage" is the same repackaged racist nonsense that's driven this country since its founding.

Especially if you're Jewish, as the white supremacists don't consider us white anyway.

Confessions of a Radical, Woke Leftist Whew, this is a tough one to write, but I’ll try to get it out if you’ll bear with me.

"I’m so woke that I believe America isn’t a white birthright,
that we are all one interdependent community,
that people and places are made better by diversity,
that no one’s religion should be compulsory,
that non-American human beings have as much value as American ones"@johnpavlovitz.bsky.social
