And they have the nerve to wonder why there is male “loneliness” epidemic.

Indeed. It’s particularly striking to see this even in a border city (Windsor, ON) with close ties to Detroit area.

Draft registration isn’t a choice anymore, it’s automatic.
The question is, is the Trump administration quietly lining up young men for the next wars —the forever wars?
Trump can’t pull a generation of young men into conflicts they don’t believe in & expect loyalty.
He’s going to get resistance.
Remember this at Midterms
Oh. My. God. The MAHA/MAGA cult has long pushed extremely dangerous myths & conspiracy theories about mental health (e.g. RFK Jr lies when he says SSRIs cause mass shootings). After vaccines and abortion, this cult is coming next for mental health treatments (www.statnews.com/2026/01/07/r...)
They mocked the field of gender studies as meaningless, but I think they really just knew it was onto them.
They're the softest bunch of insecure little manchildren play-acting what they have been told is manly and macho.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
The Trump administration is taking aim at what it calls rampant fraud in state Medicaid programs. By focusing on Democratic-led states, it has handed ammunition to critics who say it wants to embarrass its political enemies not save taxpayer dollars ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/17/r...
Oh look...the Strait’s “blocked” again. Amazing how it’s always just serious enough to spike fear, never serious enough to fix anything. Funny how that works when chaos is more profitable than solutions.
On the bright side, when it comes to Kash Patel’s and Pete Hegseth’s displays of competence at their jobs, the consumption of vast amounts of alcohol results in no discernible difference.

Q: Why is National @apnews.com carrying water for @GinoBulso & Tennessee Republicans by framing their “Charlie Kirk Act” as a bill that “promotes free speech” when @penamerica.bsky.social rightly warned it does the exact opposite? 🤔🤷🏼

Has anyone in the media asked Trump how he feels about his DOJ being 0-5 in lawsuits to gain access to state voter rolls?
Seems like an important thing to ask.
Patel fired the FBI's Iran counterintelligence unit.
Then, we went to war with Iran.
He fired them because they'd worked on the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
Revenge. That's the whole answer.
Everyone's talking about the drinking.
Nobody's talking about this.
