The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools.

I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

OPEN LETTER TO @politifact.bsky.social:
PolitiFact's reporting on the SAVE Act downplays the voter suppression effects. By being overly focused on technical wording they overlook real-world impact.

takedemocracyback.org urges PolitiFact to update their rating to account for disproportionate harm.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

You asked for it, suckers.

Oct 2024:

“Grocery prices are out of control! We can’t afford eggs, fuck Joe Biden.”

Jan 2025:

“Trump isn’t actually gonna go through with tariffs. And if he does they’re a good thing.”

Feb 2025:

“Paying higher prices is patriotic.”

And he said he was the smartest person ever to be born. 😏

Hot tip for the next two years: a Republican bill does the opposite of what it’s called.

A GOP bill defunding schools that mandate vaccines would be called the “Protect our Schools Act.”

A GOP bill raising the retirement age for social security would be called the “Retire With Dignity Act.”

The Christian Right Was Right About America's Moral Collapse—With One Exception. I have a confession to make: I was dead wrong about the Christian Right.

These Conservative Christian prophets of doom had everything about the approaching moral disaster here correct, except for one thing: its source.

They neglected to predict the actual genesis of this great national decimation.

A Warning from 1994 of a Two-Tiered Society | Robert Reich YouTube video by Robert Reich

30 years ago today, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech at the time. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Lots of stories about how mass deportations will spike food prices and cause inflation. But as Tom Bonier noted, only one published before Election Day...

Find something to die for. Because until dying is required, that thing is actually something to live for.

I could literally rant about this all day but WTF NPR?

W/O addressing systemic issues jut banning "ultra-processed" foods isn't it - many people rely on cheap shelf stable foods that don't need other ingredients or full kitchens to prepare. Ban Chef Boyardee in a can and have children starve more than they already do?

Quack.
