Make it make sense.

Straight up milking the market

Would someone alert Piggy and whoever is in charge of FEMA that Guam is a US Territory and that its residents are US Citizens!
Also, remind Whiskey Pete that there are two military bases there, too.

headline: gen z doesn't want your full-time job. They want several part-time roles, and it's reshaping the entire workforce.

This is propaganda.

sure, shutting down the National Park Service will leave the US effectively defenseless against what is predicted to be a record-setting year for wildfires, but if it's any comfort, it turns out you might die in a class warfare toilet paper fire first

RFK jr is now saying that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS. The damage he has done and is doing to the health of America is insurmountable. A man without a medical license or training of any kind!

Well, they do want to force children/teenagers to carry out pregnancies, are proponents of child marriage, and say things like "fall in love, get married, [and] have more babies than you can afford."

Among many other reasons.

Translation: they are doing it.

Trans Lives 2025 report on trans healthcare in the UK - Anne Healthcare Findings from TransActual’s largest-ever survey show widespread discrimination, unsafe care, and a system many trans+ people feel forced to avoid.

Devastating survey results from @transactualuk.bsky.social on the reality of trans+ healthcare in the UK.

If this were any other patient cohort, it'd be a national scandal. But apparently trans people don't count.

NYT: “Trump championed the U.S. steel industry, promising to strengthen it and impose stiff tariffs on foreign metals… Yet the White House has secured tens of millions of dollars worth of donated foreign steel for Trump’s $400 million ballroom project.” www.livemint.com/news/world/i...

Marco Rubio: " Imagine an Iranian regime who instead of spending billions of dollars...building up all these weapons, had invested that money for the people of Iran"

Everything I've ever learned about RFK jr. has been against my will.

you try to separate the art from the artist but you can bet your last dollar that the artist is not separating herself from those royalty checks.

Rowling is a monster and if you buy Harry Potter stuff, you’re putting money directly into anti-transgender legislation

Somewhere in the North Korean Propaganda Ministry an official winces and says: “That’s a bit much.”

ICE suddenly grabs and throws local folks to the ground as they snatch non-criminals at ROBERTSON COUNTY court, while local sheriffs threaten arrests for talking too loud.

The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm.

Pete Hegseth called them “narco terrorists” and the official statement from the Trump administration called it a training camp for drug traffickers.

It was a dairy farm. They murdered Ecuadorian farmers. With our money.

The War on Drugs has always been a fascist plot to kill Black and Brown people

“Separate the art from the artist” is a nuanced concept that should be reserved for dead creators only, whose legacies we have to grapple with in the context of history. It should NOT be used for living creators actively doing harm. That’s my two cents.

The happiness of this blind little dog when she was adopted is indescribable . 😍

Should ICE agents be able to make arrests in Massachusetts courthouses? - The Boston Globe Federal agents are increasingly targeting people at courthouses in immigrant communities from Chelsea to Lynn to New Bedford.

The answer is: Fuck no.

Because you shouldn't show up to court to deal with a minor issue only to get kidnapped and disappeared.

my mother’s career was as an elementary school teacher. People, listen

I have absolutely no patience for the fantasy that most of you hold that teachers’ entire lives are the same as their classroom personae when teaching small children
