Researchers stalked a bunch of undiagnosed neurodivergent children who learned to self medicate since nobody else would help them and then decided it's the medicine's fault that they're neurodivergent

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

Stop saying Trump wants to "nationalize elections."

What he said was: "We should take over the voting, the voting in at least manyβ€”15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

"Take over the voting" and "nationalizing voting" is very different from the more sanitized language.

Conservatives are the fragile snowflakes they've always screamed about, and live in utter fear about living in objective reality. Their entire worldview demands they live in a bubble devoid of any opposing viewpoints.

Everything the Nazis did was legal under the laws they enacted.

Remember that Jury nullification exists. Do not allow Nazi laws to be enforced.

β€œI told them I’m not going to do it,” he said...

No. You don’t get the skater with facial piercings and weird hair. You get country singers named Bunt Gruntley and Mormon wife influencers with poorly done extensions and that’s what you get. Sorry

Quakertown parents, groups demand release of students in police clash Civil rights groups and parents gathered in front of the Quakertown Police Department Saturday demanding answers for the violent confrontation Friday.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.

They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

Again you’re beating up children. For who? An octogenarian monster who will be dead within this decade?

Trump will be dead by 2030. Anyone who thought fighting children was worth defending his short reign should spend the rest of this century in prison.

Days before imposing his reckless tariffs, Trump said he β€œcouldn’t care less” if Americans paid higher prices.

The Supreme Court just confirmed: he never had the authority.

Time to deliver relief to the people & small businesses who paid the price for his total economic failure.

Oh and Trump and his cronies made billions playing the stock market.

But some corporate lawyer is a hero for making sure corporations can get their money back?

Stop it

I paid several hundred extra dollars for my dishwasher because of tariffs. So somebody's gonna cut me a check right?

Of course not. In 7 years, corporations will get 175 billion dollars and the price of everything is mostly going to stay the same because the sticker shock has passed.
