In a move dripping with irony, Hegseth’s ‘fitness’ crackdown exposes nothing but male fragility. This isn’t about strength—it’s misogyny masquerading as policy. It weakens our military just as recruitment has finally rebounded after years of stagnation.

This is the most exciting concept for resistance to Trump 2.0. A #ShadowGovernment of progressives matched toe to toe with each each cabinet member and Trump himself, who's full time job is to refute and dispute the claims and actions of this admin.

I just listened to the latest episode of Hidden Brain, "Dropping the Mask," and found it <3. Shankar delves into the tension between self-presentation and authenticity, showing how shedding even small layers of pretense can transform our relationships.

It's up to us, those without risk of retribution, to speak up loudly against the dangerous hypocrisy of the US Admin. Govt officials, the Press, and electeds are running scared. It's time to resurrect resistance in the public square.
