We have a govt that’s engaged in human trafficking, that’s openly allowing a gulf petrostate to bribe its leadership, that’s reshaping the refugee program in overtly racist terms, that’s almost ended American foreign aid entirely, that’s doing its level best to crash the economy from the rose garden

Somewhat ironic that the least qualified, most unfit and incompetent Sec of Defense in American history is the one who abolished DEI.

Hilarious how the last paragraph makes the whole thing Biden’s fault because his administration didn’t develop an alternative to Signal.

Is anyone in the USA doing polling on the topic of whether Americans want Canada as the so-called 51st state? And not, why not?

Holy shit. In a shocking unearthed video, Marco Rubio completely destroys Donald Trump for being a full of shit bully.

Marco was hoping people would forget this…so don’t repost right now this very second!

Isn’t he saying that the university should be left alone to determine what should be done instead of the government going all fascist and deporting a legal US citizen?

I’m not sure I understand this correctly. You think it’s okay to deport a legal resident? You don’t get to throw away the Constitution because you don’t agree with what someone is saying.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

But at least he’s deporting the criminals, right? Wait, the Trump Administration ended the policy exempting locations—such as schools, hospitals, and churches—from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations? Is that where they think the criminals hang out??

But he did campaign as the guy who wouldn’t get us into foreign wars, right? So what’s this talk about taking over Panama, Greenland, Canada and sending US troops to Gaza? Good thing the USA is out of the regime -change business.

Wait a minute, didn’t he say he was going to end the war in Ukraine on day one?

And why is the price of gas 20 cents higher on average than a month ago?

And have you seen the price of eggs?

I remember playing that video for my students in Broward County. Marvelous poem. I moved from California to Florida in 1984 and I grew to love the state. Remember Lawton Chiles? Janet Reno? The nature is extraordinary. But last week I became an official resident of the state of Nevada. I’m done.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

I don’t think it’s a good time to get on an airplane or to go on a cruise if the National Weather Service is under attack.

But that doesn’t happen when the white men in charge only hire other white men. It’s been a built-in sex-and-race-based affirmative action program for white men for centuries. The fuss now is simply because so many of them are complaining because they can’t compete.

I have a dream that someday all Americans will look at the current president of this great country and judge the man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

There’s also the issue that the best doctors and nurses who specialize in women’s healthcare probably won’t choose to work in states that threaten them with felony accusations.

5/If this is part of the issue behind the well documented "Decline of Men," then it makes the whole "Your body, my choice" mantra an admission of their own inability to compete without that rigged system. /end

4/competing on a level playing field with women. That is why the number of women succeeding in board rooms, combat, education, science, engineering, et al is happening, because the advantage men had, the built-in privilege in the system falls by the wayside if women can control their own bodies.

3/ and through their superior physical strength were able to dominate women and keep them repressed. However, as the world changed and particularly when women gained control over their reproductive status, women were able to succeed in a knowledge-based world, men are no longer superior when -
