Question:
When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

"Trump's tariffs have created a drop in sales of various agricultural exports, including soybeans. Data shows the US is losing out on billions of dollars in purchases from China, which spent over $3 billion on soybeans in the second quarter of 2024. So far China has spent $0 this year."

Bill Pulte runs an agency that oversees over half the mortgages in the US. And yet he has posted on social media all day every day for weeks about the mortgage of ONE person, who just so happens to be a Democratic appointee to the Fed Reserve with 11 years left in her term.

Nah, that’s not going to stop. It’s too effective for GOTV.
So Trump and Republicans are going to stop calling Democrats radical left marxists who hate God, are anti-christian, hate America, steal elections, want to replace Americans with criminal migrants, and want to kill babies? When is that going to stop? bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mike Johnson: "People have got to stop framing simple policy disagreements in terms of existential threats to our democracy. You can't call the other side fascists and enemies of the state and not understand that there are some deranged people in our society who will take that as cues to act."

Legacy media is literally caping for white supremacy now. Quoting the man they’re venerating, whose proud life’s work was disparaging marginalized groups, is officially a firing offense, but calling for the homeless to be euthanized is not. Wild.
Some personal news:
I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.
