I’m going to link a few of the posts and threads that I have put together previously on this here. bsky.app/profile/brai...
Yes, they literally are trying to kill as much of the population as they can. It is a pro eugenics social Darwinist movement that sees America as “mindless eaters” that must be “culled” so the strongest can survive.

MAHA and the rights plan is literal autogenocide and social murder at scale
The FDA is going to stop testing milk for pathogens like I DON'T KNOW, BIRD FLU????

These people are actively trying to kill us. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Everyone on the planet needs to be extremely clear that what the Americans are building is a worldwide apparatus of ethnic cleansing and genocidal social murder for profit and national gain.
These are things that have been said openly for decades within some of the darker corners of the party.

The goal of the republicans plan is to create a socially Darwinian society that allows the most at risk to die without being seen or heard.

It’s all social murder at scale and eugenics all the way down.

The republicans are building the tools of mass death and painting them as public health.
This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

I will also take your bunnies, cute babies in costumes, and puppy pics just FYI
The jokes about how the internet is "just for cat pictures" kinda bug me, because they trivialize this incredible technological achievement that has changed so many lives

Some of us are allergic to cats. Our parasocial relationships with your animals sustain us. We need your cat pictures. Send them

So basically, Bovino admits that the role of ICE is to overthrow legitimately elected Democratic governments.

"Some voters are sickened to see Trump's name showing up in the Epstein files. But here at the Midwestern Pedophile Association's annual conference in Des Moines, few find it alarming, and some even say they finally feel 'seen.'"

The Handbasket: Is “inflation has been tamed” a conclusion one should take from your report?

DoorDash: That's not something that we wrote in the report…The White House can use the language that they are using on that. I'm not gonna speculate on that.
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

I'm a voiceover actor, you've heard me on your TV, radio or the web over the 36 years of my career. My bread-and-butter work used to be narrating training films and corporate videos, used to be at least 1/3 of my income. MOST of that work is now AI. My agents are dying, fellow talent are struggling.
How is AI *really* impacting jobs?

Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:

-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs
What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

Bovino seems like he’s getting closer to admitting their entire premise is a lie, it has nothing to do with the law, and his mission is really about ethnic cleaning and terror.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

"Blue line blues" @chicagoreader.com came out of a weird data point—that ridership on the Blue Line's Forest Park branch had one of the weakest recoveries CTA-wide.

I keep thinking about all the "good" families that are rotting from within, filled with their secrets about fathers (because it's usually fathers) who might as well be in those files.

Why does our society accept this? Kids deserve to be safe.

you could not script a more perfect "who are white Republican women in a nutshell?" moment than Megyn Kelly - quite famously herself a victim of an older and more powerful man's sexual misconduct - doing the "TECHNICALLY he wasn't a 'pedophile' per se" routine with a perfectly straight face

Thinking about how one of the first Epstein victims was trans and got relentlessly mocked in the media when she spoke up www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...
When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

Every time I hear a bunch of cars randomly honking at a car pulling to the curb or not taking off fast enough or being stuck in a traffic jam or whatever I think of Elif Shafak's BASTARD OF ISTANBUL with its amazing descriptions of city life
