The most powerful military in the world is currently doing the bidding of an unspeakable bunch of dipshits.
i would like to have people take war seriously
The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection effort as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principles: more aggression, less accountability.
This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

We Missed the Point of These Great Science Fiction and Fantasy Books: We love Star Wars and vote for fascists. We watch The Handmaid's Tale while stripping away rights. We missed the point of these SFF classics.
The US military is powerless to open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran controls the territorial waters and has undersea tunnels. They don't need to sink every ship, they just need to create enough chaos so insurance companies refuse to cover Western tankers.
The president added a medal to his collection at an event marking Women’s History Month.
There are two types of ppl in this world.
i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.
"That's just how it is."
The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
“There’s no reason to expect that Trump’s Iranian debacle will prevent him from lighting yet another match of chaos or conflict. In fact, experience teaches that Trump bristling from a failure makes him more, not less, likely to do something equally stupid, and to do so soon.”
This is what it looks like
The man thinks he personally booked the Olympics, scheduled the World Cup, and invented the United States of America.
Faith and religion have always been double-edged swords. And there’s never been a shortage of people and institutions looking to wield belief as a cudgel against the people they don’t like and as a ladder to power.
Talarico’s humble insistence on a Christianity of the least absolutely enrages them
Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talarico’s inclusive, open-hearted Christianity.
Some have even called it blasphemy.
But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power.

This is the third government shutdown since Trump took office.
TSA agents are unpaid, some sleeping in their cars, while his war is torching about $1 billion a day.
ICE detention is still draining around $10 million a day to run centers where people are disappearing into a broken system.
One thing Gen X, Millennials, & Gen Z have in common? Frank Welker was a constant voice in all our childhoods. The images below don’t even include the Nazi monkey in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Aliens in ID4, the Martians in Mars Attacks, etc, etc, etc. his IMDB is NUTS. Happy Birthday you legend.
Trump is basically telling oil companies to go play chicken in a war zone.
Three commercial ships were just hit and any competent president would’ve known the risk before pushing tankers into the Strait of Hormuz.
Instead, we got: “I think they should use the strait.”
Congressional Democrats are opening a probe into millions of dollars private companies — including ABC, Meta, Paramount, and X — pledged to Trump's planned presidential library, asking what happened to the money after the original fund was dissolved last year. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
But how will ICE agents trick their targets into entering the steel cage? Seems like a flaw in the plan.
Bless Liz Landers, who repeatedly and forcefully called out President Criminal’s election lies right to his bruised face.
This stat is ASTOUNDING
Yet Dr. Tedros was ok telling the world Covid was not airborne, killing hundreds of millions which could have been prevented for most had we known earlier to N95 mask, AND he prematurely ended pandemic emergency while millions continue to die or become disabled by Long Covid
$11 billion spent in just six days of war.
$38 trillion in debt.
Let's go the moon.
You know, during the Vietnam War there were multiple instances of sailors sabotaging their own ships in protest of the war.

Russia spent two decades resurrecting fascist ideology and funding its export to the West. The fact that the U.S. now targets democracies instead of dictatorships tells you the strategy worked.
