  • “I can’t believe this is America”: U.S. Veteran who voted for Trump says ICE arrest of his wife shattered everything he believed

  • Man I feel bad for that kid. The wife should know better, but the kids just there

  • Impeachment articles filed against RFK Jr., claiming abuse of power

  • Quite frankly, trying to flip congress within the current system is the only play rn. Even if the game is rigged, there's nothing we can do about it until the average people both see it and care enough to do something.

    As for calling you a Russian troll...surely you can put together the implications there

  • Impeachment articles filed against RFK Jr., claiming abuse of power

  • Not the commenter, but I'm guessing the logic is less should and more will. We live in a world where most elites are sociopaths attracted to power like moths to light, and will always try to do the maximum they think they can get away with to benefit themselves. Proper political systems don't get rid of this because its a human nature thing, they weaponize it by organizing power structures to align those interests with sections of the people

  • Trump showing signs he’s battling major medical crisis, Democrat claims

  • The prions might make a better president

  • Trump DoJ ‘immediately’ stops enforcing prison rape protections for trans and intersex people, according to leaked memo

  • That is unironically half the problem. We have a totally mythologized view of our own history that has made us damn near incapable of repeating it

  • How I view my heritage

    Jump

  • I've always found it ironic how much we actually have in common with our adversaries

  • A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it.

  • I hate that I laughed at that

  • Let's not. I like the solar systems orbits exactly as they are

  • It would be if you can find an elegant control scheme. Problem is, it has to be mapped to something, so you either can't move or can't use any buttons while altering it

  • Rebellion is just when you attempt regime change with violence, it doesn't require being morally in the right

  • That does not change my point. Despite- or perhaps because of- their efforts, the average American couldn't even tell you accurately when the Civil War happened from memory. It's once again not strictly their fault they don't know about those movements.

  • If Russia is fighting against Nazis in Ukraine

    Jump

  • It's not. That's the problem with them

  • Don't forget the GOP, who has since the beginning of the conflict been doing everything they can to undermine American support

  • Ms Rachel responds to antisemitism allegations: "The Stop Antisemitism Now group should not be able to try to ruin people's lives"

  • I think I'm more suspicious of Christians than Jews on that front (among many many others)

    Jump

  • This is exactly the nuance antisemite allegations suck out of the room. You can absolutely say one sides actions are wrong while recognizing the other are in a completely different league

  • Admittedly, most formal attempts at rebellion against the American government since the Confederates are historically obscure. Whether they should be is an entirely seperate debate, but they are, so assuming malice on the part of someone not knowing more recent movements feels presumptuous

  • I can never take 4trans shit seriously

  • I felt like they were doing shit for the first few months, kept taking them but I'd sorta given up expectations, year in suddenly I realize I have boobs
