Progressives and democrats aren’t overselling the message on inclusion. It’s MAGA that’s using the existence of humans having differences to fight one another.

I thought about the term, β€œGo fuck yourself,” and realized it can be interpreted as, β€œYou need to go masturbate.”

Can’t say I disagree with either message

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
