Once again: the GOP is a #fascist party. The CPC contains these elements. There is a tsunami of #reactionary politics on the horizon, because the weaponization of young men in particular goes largely unnoticed (because it's online). Crush them now, or we are in for generations of authoritarianism.

NIH guts its first and largest study centered on women
The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings
I try to avoid commenting on US politics except unless it directly affects Canada (tariffs, 51st state horseshit), but this! Jesus! If this doesn't prove unequivocally that the Trump administration hates women then I don't know what proof is. www.science.org/content/arti...

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Rubio declares himself head of USAid as workers locked out of office. Subheading: secretary of state says he has assumed control of agency to 'align' it with Trump's priorities
![The Nazi term Gleichschaltung (German pronunciation: [ˈɡlaɪçʃaltʊŋ] ⓘ), meaning "synchronization" or "bringing into line", was the process of Nazification by which Adolf Hitler—leader of the Nazi Party in Germany—established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society "from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture and education".[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tfyqeo3tprov5lejatxoi6lb/bafkreig3ueikh7qtxn6mlucxxewrcexm4qxgrbrqrvurbqdombrctvzdta@jpeg)

Trump is probably not capable of learning, per se, but it will be inescapable even to him that we are polite and congenial until we’re cornered. Then we’re badgers. The Mexicans are pretty tough as well. Vive le Canada! ¡Viva México! Wishing sanity and kindness returns to our US neighbours.

Biden's pardons attempt to inoculate people against political persecution. Trump's pardons reward people for violence, treason, and celebrating his cult of lies.

Yeah. They aren't *language* models so much as *text* models, but it's still peculiar how anything in a dataset would suggest 'fear' and 'negotiate' or 'reward' and 'deed' fall under the designation of 'rhyme,' especially as it does much better with the (unsolicited) identification of assonance.
