Saw it in the theater with my better half when it came out. I’m still not forgiven. The marketing was pretty deceptive, well it omitted enough to steer potential audiences. People flipped out, stormed out. It scared me so bad, I left all the lights on in the bedroom and hid under the covers.

Boat derangement syndrome

Correct.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.

The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.

This is trickle down economics on steroids.

I’m furious about all the cruelty targeting so many people. This one hit me hard as a gay man. U cried ugly tears. My husband and I have custom wedding rings we had made in 95 our first year together. We have pink triangular stone to remind us of the past and hope for the future. Sickening

Yes, Trump posted link that included Nazi symbol for gay men in concentration camps Social media users shared screenshots of a post from the president's Truth Social account in March 2025.

There is no low to the hate! I’m shaking with rage!

USDA cancels $1B in local food purchasing for schools, food banks States have been notified that they will not receive 2025 funding for schools to buy food from nearby farms.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from local farms and ranchers, halting more than $1 billion in federal spending. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

The idiot blew up the economy in less than two months. He doesn’t understand the most basic of economic concepts. So unnecessary and ignorant

Let’s stay on daylight savings permanently instead. No one wants 4 am sunrises in the summer

How long before boozy Pete renames it Enola Straight?

I remember that less than 20 years ago that “mainstream” democrats blamed gay marriage support for election losses. It was bs then and throwing trans people under the bus now is bs. Supporting repression of a minority to “win” elections is actually a losing move for alleged progressives.

I remember a time in very recent history when “mainstream” democrats kept saying to not support gay marriage because it was losing them elections. It was bs then and trying to throw trans people under the bus is bs now. If you’re for repressing a minority to “win”, you’ve already lost. SMH

DOGE moves to cancel NOAA leases at critical forecasting centers NOAA's nerve center of national weather forecasting is on a lease cancellation list.

Having a hard time understanding why Elon Musk thinks its a good odea to degrade NOAA’s ability to give us lifesaving early warnings for Hurricanes & Tornadoes. www.axios.com/2025/03/03/d...

Besides the continuing bird flu risk that includes backyard flocks, EVERYTHING eats chickens. Almost every person I know that didn’t spend a ton of money and effort to protect their backyard chickens had them all taken out by a myriad of predators. Good luck with those backyard chickens

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting.

The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

I go to bed crying thinking about how many people will suffer because of these cruel and needless cuts. It’s an attack on the most vulnerable and it’s sickening. It is an unforgivable cruelty.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

At some point very soon, republicans in Congress will have to choose between pleasing Trump to avoid being primaried, and helping their constituents to avoid being primaried.

I’ve now given myself a concussion from face palming too many times.

Every day forward I will dropping a pin in the GULF OF MEXICO labeled GULF OF MEXICO on my google maps until the GULF OF MEXICO is filled with pins labeled GULF OF MEXICO

Is it real or is it a trick? Federal workers debate legitimacy of buyout offer as deadline nears The deadline for federal workers to receive financial incentives to quit is approaching. More than 2 million employees have until Thursday at 11:59 p.m.

Stiffing workers is the game.

Trump’s “deal” to millions of fed workers to take a payout or be terminated has a CLAUSE waiving the right to sue the gov if it fails to honor the “deal.”
Trump has no authority to grant pay.
