Do people understand yet? When people say they want to see the end of the Department of Education, they want to see public money for private schools, they think there should be no property tax...they're literally saying they want most children to be uneducated.

We are on the way to learning what happens when a society glorifies money, and conflates wealth with wisdom.
If only money matters, does anything else even matter at all?

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.
22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.
Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

This was going to be a nice photo of my dog with Lady Gaga's piano. My hand slipped, the dog moved, the piano mover moved...and I snapped the pic an instant before the doggo threw a stick across the floor.

Things that are the opposite of celebrating military victories:
1. Name your military bases, ships and other stuff after the leaders of an army you defeated.

We obtained records showing how an ex-DOGE staffer with no medical experience used AI to identify which VA contracts to kill.
“I would never recommend someone run my code and do what it says,” he said.

There are many reasons it's really really bad to have law enforcement disappearing people without due process nor identifying themselves.
A big one is that any horrible person can do the exact same thing by pretending to be law enforcement disappearing people without due process.

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

One of the great political campaign fallacies is that someone with no experience is a worse choice than someone who has a lot of experience and has royally fucked up
Cuomo acted out a mock job interview between Mamdani and a recruiter.
“‘Hello, I’m applying for the job of the mayor of the City of New York.’ ‘OK, do you have management experience?’ ‘No.’ ‘Have you managed 100 people before?’ ‘No.’"

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
