The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

Opinion | β€˜β€‹The World Is There for the Carving’: Two Columnists on the Trump-Putin Alliance We’ve never seen anything like this: a president who appears aligned with a Russian dictator in targeting the weak and the vulnerable.

β€œWe now have a president of the U.S. who subscribes to the same worldview of coercive conquest as the president of Russia.” And one who tramples the Constitution domestically. It’s not too late to turn this around. But the 2026 midterms are our last best hope

Senators and rep love helping constituents with Federal Agencies and you can request help from their website.

Especially for the sane people in red states, now is your chance to flood the zone with shit and make your voices heard.

In separate requests, pick an agency, for example:

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly.

Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences.

The public must turn on this madness and soon.

The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, wants to cut funding for medical research in all 50 states. This will raise unemployment and slow the pace of medical discoveries.

Call Congress + your governor. Tell them to oppose these cuts!

Idaho Becomes Sixth State to Consider Murder Charges for Abortion Patients 2.7.25

6 states proposed bills that would classify abortion as homicide: Indiana, S Carolina, Oklahoma, N Dakota, Texas and Idaho.

Underage girls can be married off legally in all 6 of those states.

It’s not about protecting life,
it’s about oppressing women.

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

The US Government Is Not a Startup Elon Musk is moving fast and breaking things that can’t afford to be broken.

"The thing about most software startups, though, is that they fail. They take big risks and they don’t pay off and they leave the carcass of that failure behind and start cranking out a new pitch deck. This is the process that DOGE is imposing on the United States." www.wired.com/story/the-us...

North Dakota Republicans have introduced legislation to declare themselves a Christian nationalist state by β€œacknowledging the Kingship of Jesus Christ.”

This is a direct challenge to the Constitution.

First of all, he resigned. Second, his life is ruined because he can’t work on a project accessing Americans’ confidential info?

If that person can code like his supporters say he ca, he’ll be fine.
