  • A clinic blames its closing on Trump’s Medicaid cuts. Patients don’t buy it.

    Jump

  • I think the point that keeps getting forgotten is that these people don't even hear about the bad things that Trump does most of the time and, when they do, it comes with spin to make it sound like a good thing. Mostly, they just hear about how much they are winning, how perfect the administration is... how great this administration has been for the economy, how much they have helped minorities but not in a way that will displace white people... how perfectly they are winning on the international stage, how perfectly the most recent special military action went, how much the rest of the world respects the US, how quickly other countries are giving in to our terriffs.

    They don't hear truth and, at this point, they are so brainwashed that they wouldn't know what to do with the truth if they encountered it.

  • I had no idea that doves could so obviously express excitement! So cool! Much more personality than I expected!

  • Trump’s 22-year-old DHS director has ‘one foot in the Grave’ as past trouble resurfaces

    Jump

  • My bet is on trying to manufacture a war/emergency to grab power.

  • If these aren't microplastics, what are?

    "Micro" just means "small" in this case and doesn't mean "microscopic" or have anything to do with "micrometer".

    The definition of "microplastic" according to NOAA: "Microplastics are small plastic pieces less than five millimeters long".

  • Meet Andrew Yang, Who Is Keen to Help Musk's America Party

    Jump

  • I can't imagine Yang supporting Musk on much of anything. The headline is just intended to force people to read by making a blatantly incorrect claim.

  • Trump administration pulls back on plans to rewrite Biden-era asbestos ban

    Jump

  • This kind of thing is intended to draw outrage away from the other horrible things that he's actually doing. If they talk about things that everyone agrees are insane, then back off, they spread the outrage around and get less pushback on their real agenda.

    Anyway, that's my theory.

  • Amazon asks corporate workers to ‘volunteer’ help with grocery deliveries as Prime Day frenzy approaches

    Jump

  • I highly doubt that Amazon is dumb enough to ask people to volunteer their time for free. There are way tooany ways that ends in lawsuits. HR and the lawyers would put a stop to that faster than you can say "wage theft".

    I've worked jobs where, at times of peak business, office staff were asked to volunteer for paid shifts rather than hire more people for a very short time. It's not weird or malicious, it's fairly normal.

    "Volunteer" doesn't always imply "work for free".

  • Elon Musk furious as 'big bomb' against Trump defused by Pam Bondi

    Jump

  • Yet...

  • Welcome to petty lane

    Jump

  • You know, I get it, they're probably just an asshole. Maybe they're having an emergency, though. How about just letting them get around in case there is a good reason for driving recklessly? Or maybe just in case they're nuts enough to make things violent?

  • The point is that one would think that Jewish people might have learned that mass murder is bad. That said, Israel seems to have forgotten so it's unsurprising that a right wing loon like Laura Loomer would also fail to understand the lessons of history.

  • Duke University appears to have lost research grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic material, translational studies and signal transduction

    Jump

  • The people doing this understand the consequences and see the as goals.

  • Wearing socks is a social construct

    Jump

  • I love when people say "ackchyually you're wrong" without offering an alternative.

  • Trump threatens to cut off New York City funds if Mamdani ‘doesn’t behave’

    Jump

  • So, NYC gets about $100B in federal funds annually. I wonder how much they pay in taxes to the federal government. I'd bet they pay more than they get.

  • The art of the deal

  • ARt oF thE DeAL!

  • Trump floats Iran ‘regime change’ even as the true impact of US strikes is far from clear

    Jump

  • How about we change our regime instead?

  • How would I set this kind of thing up? Mainly, where can I find the lists? I can probably sort out the DNS settings.

  • It's only fake news until it happens

  • Palestine: "I want to be free!"

    Israel: "That's a threat! They want to destroy us! Did you see what they said to us, U.S.?!"

    USA: "Yep, clear as day antisemitism and a threat of terrorism. It might even be a war crime!"

  • Some Democratic senators regret voting to confirm Kristi Noem as DHS secretary

    Jump

  • Come on, no one is this dumb. The senators knew they'd do this from the moment they voted to confirm. This is just premeditated political backtracking to fix as much damage as they can now that they've received their reciprocal favors.
