How does one “prepare” for higher fuel costs?
I commute to work.
Public transit is not an option because it’s rural.
Should I prepare to sleep in my car at work?
This is the bullshit the politicians and pundits don’t understand.
I can’t afford to drive less than I am, and neither can most folks.

Eh, it's not like we're anywhere near planting season, right?

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.

ICE was hacked! We now know what companies make up ICE deportation pipeline.

HUGE.

MORE. OF. THIS. PLEASE.

Strange how every “America First” move somehow ends up helping Moscow. What a coincidence.

All of MAGA right now:

Asking random locals in Tehran to hang out.

These are the friendly, social people we are bombing for no reason.

AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense. The technology is increasing the speed, density and complexity of work rather than reducing it, a new analysis of 164,000 people’s work activity shows.

AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense.:

"It’s not that AI doesn’t create efficiency. It’s that the capacity it frees up immediately gets repurposed into doing other work, and that’s where the creep is likely to happen."

He’s going to declare victory and leave.

This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration.

Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.

Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.

Are you better off today than you were one year ago?

Just imagine what three more years of this will look like.

It looks like the majority of Americans getting poorer, a few billionaires and millionaires at the top getting richer, and the USA declaring bankruptcy before total collapse.

The dumbest people are egging on even dumber people.

What could go wrong?

Cruelty is the point.

Yesterday Trump said the war was almost over. Hegseth bragged about the largest attacks ever. This morning three tankers are burning in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s strategy is a failure of Epstein proportions.

As footage of storm damage rolls in this morning, I’m reminded that “many hands make light work” is WHY we are supposed to have a gov’t at all.
Gov’t should ease the burden, not make it unbearable.
That’s what the soft turds currently in power will never understand.
We need to change that.

This is from 1975.

I know it's not much compared to this war, but we're now also spending $650 million a month just on the *interest* accruing on the tariff refund money that Trump is stalling on paying back.
