As a society, we don't let kids smoke cigarettes. We don't let kids see mature movies in the theatre. We don't let kids play with pornography. There is absolutely no reason we can't ban AI products designed for children. All it takes is government will.
Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.
The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community
And I say that's not good enough.
Liberals, I'm being so fucking real when I warn you about this: Run someone else in 2028 or we will have another Republican president in 2029.
What were once considered the ravings of tinfoil-hat conspiracy junkies are now par for the course for the Trumpian right and its analysis of the state of public education.
The fascist dumpster fire that went down yesterday in South Burlington #Vermont originated with Trump's Gestapo having bad surveillance information and being at the wrong house.
Congrats to everyone who traded our country for low grocery and gas prices that are not at all low.

I did way too many poppers in the 80's.
Were poppers fun, or were we just that desperate to forget our troubles for 10 seconds?
Sounds "radical"! 🤯
Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.
Churchillian.
The absolute dross that falls out of Trump’s mouth…
"Oil will be coming down. That's just a matter of war that happens. You can almost predict it. I would say it went up a little bit less than we thought. It's going to come down more than we, than anybody understands."

Oh!

As a Veteran who just had his 30th surgery 14 days ago to install a fusion cage in his cervical spine this organization is much needed as the VA makes unnecessary and unwelcome and dangerous budget cuts. Please disseminate as widely as possible. 🙏

Look at their faces when they saw the camera.
“On Tuesday, [a 14-year-old] girl from #Marlborough with no criminal history was detained by immigration agents, [U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan] said. The girl was apparently used to ’coerce’ her father into turning himself in during an ’overnight attempt,’ according to Trahan.”

Iran is the 17th largest country in the world. It's got incredibly challenging terrain, probably the world's most sophisticated and well-equipped irregular forces, can be supplied by China and Russia overland through both Pak and Af
oh and they can control the world's most important oil chokepoint
But there is a 'me' in team. And am, meat, eat, tea, mate, tame, mat, met, meta, ate, eta.
If your team mate gave you an eta to meet but is late, instead of a tame response, you could wait until you met them & eat them for tea (as meat) right there on the mat, then post that you ate them on meta.🤷
"Roughly 100 protesters...have blocked the doors and are refusing leave...A growing crowd linked arms and formed a human chain around the building. People blew whistles, chanted “ICE out,” and directly confronted the ICE telling them to “get off the property.” www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...
People mobilized in South Burlington, #Vermont, after ICE chased someone, leading to "car crashes involving federal vehicles, a foot chase, and a daylong protest." www.wcax.com/2026/03/11/i...
I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

i am far less interested in why trump voters like rogan feel betrayed and far more interested in why they believed trump in the first place, given his previous presidency
