By rebranding genocidal rhetoric and violent misogyny as “edgy jokes,” JD Vance provides a permission structure for extremism. And he’s signaling to the next generation of Republican leaders that this language is not a career-ender but an acceptable way to signal loyalty to the MAGA base.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Its wild but not unexpected how people can ignore fascism and go about their lives or even defend it. Its crazier when women do it.

Warranty company makes me drive 1 hr away for a back hatch leak/improper closing to one of their approved shops.

The shop calls me. They tell me Warranty company denied claim because cosmetic issues aren't covered.

Argue with company & they are dicks. So over Insurance and Warranty companies

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Destroying NASA is symbolic of the general dismantling of American institutions. Our space program was a point of national pride and emblematic of almost unbelievable achievements during the 50s and 60s, culminating in the first moon landing. Now, the admin sees it as a nuisance to be scrapped. 🧪

the American government is effectively ending its space program.

Over 2,000 senior staff set to leave NASA under agency push

The losses could endanger the administration’s plans for landing astronauts on the moon and Mars.

Mauna Loa Observatory captured the reality of climate change. The US plans to shut it down

Cutting data climate collection – as the Trump administration is now trying to do – is like breaking a thermometer to avoid knowing you’ve got a fever.

The Wheel of Time fans are dedicated on another level:

The Wheel of Time fans sing in front of Sony headquarters to try and save the show

It's been over a month since Amazon pulled the plug on The Wheel of Time after the show's stellar third season, leaving fans of the iconic fantasy series bereft

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
