  • Scouts Will Abandon D.E.I. Policies Under Agreement With Pentagon, Hegseth Says

    Jump

  • I was a scout in the US as a kid and am a leader now and this is the first time I’ve ever heard that there is any connection between the scouts and the government.

  • Republican revolt derails ICE detention facility plans

    Jump

  • Republicans are revolting, you say?

  • Trump touts bill that could make voting harder for married women

    Jump

  • It’s trying to stay at the least shitty end of him.

  • Peter Thiel Is Unleashing a Neocolonial Billionaire Fantasy in Honduras

    Jump

  • Nothing about what they’re doing resembles anarchy. It’s straight autocracy.

  • Pentagon warns Scouts: Ban girls or we will pull your funding

    Jump

  • They are supposed to be in different tents with different bathing facilities. They can be in the same sites.

  • Pentagon warns Scouts: Ban girls or we will pull your funding

    Jump

  • This isn’t true either. There are rules about leaders of the same gender as the scouts present in certain situations, and separation in tents and bathroom/shower situations, but dens and patrols can be mixed gender

  • Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics Now

    Jump

  • Something you have, something you know, something you are.

  • Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics Now

    Jump

  • On iOS, you can press the power button five times in a row or press the power button and volume up button together. Either one of those disables biometric login.

    Of course, you need to know that you need to do that and have the chance to do so.

  • Kristi Noem Refuses To Answer Whether ICE Disarmed Alex Pretti Before Fatally Shooting Him

    Jump

  • Party of personal responsibility.

  • ICE flew 2-year-old to Texas despite court order to release her from custody

    Jump

  • I’m not sure how well this generalizes, but some of the most racist people I’ve ever talked to were Scandinavian (in their own country). Talking to them was jaw-dropping, even compared to the US South.

    Edit: to clarify, this seemed to be a small minority of the people.

  • Trump Just Pardoned a Convicted Fraudster He Previously Freed from Prison for a Different Fraud in 2021

    Jump

  • This pardon is for Adriana Camberos, who seems to be from an actual Mexican crime family.

  • Trump stuns as he floats nuclear option on midterms: 'They should cancel the election'

    Jump

  • We don’t cancel elections in the US. Even for war. A full-scale invasion of the mainland might be enough to try it, but some piddling foreign “special military operation” isn’t going to cut it.

  • Trump Plots Wild Power Move for Stephen Miller

    Jump

  • That’s exactly what a vampire would say

  • The fight for young men intensifies ahead of the 2026 midterm elections

    Jump

  • I don’t think it’s reflexively contrarian as much as dissatisfied and reactionary. Things aren’t great and they’ll vote for anyone who says they’ll change things (e.g., Trump and Bernie) and against anyone who says things are just fine the way they are (any DNC bobble head).

  • Trump is not a ‘well adjusted adult who can handle criticism’: Fmr. GOP Communications Dir.

    Jump

  • He’s such a great example of why inherited wealth is such a a bad idea. If he didn’t start so close to the finish line, he’d just be some random unemployable loser that nobody has to deal with.

  • ‘You didn’t listen’: Marana data center vote met with outrage

    Jump

  • These sorts of agreements are always so one-sided, also. What the company gets (tax breaks, property deals, etc) is always explicitly specified in the agreement but what the town gets (jobs, tax revenue, whatever) is left as unwritten assumptions, with the former never seemingly tied to the latter. If it wasn’t for the kickbacks and bribes, you’d think these towns were just really bad at writing contracts.

  • How effective is protesting? According to historians and political scientists: very

    Jump

  • Protests work as a show of force (to the target of the protests) and to generate solidarity and increase numbers (for the protesters).

    For them to actually work as a show of force, there has to be a credible threat of violence (or political action) waiting in the wings. All of the successful non-violent protests in the past had this. The idea is that you work with us on these reasonable requests or we put your heads on pikes. Without leverage, the protests are just a means of venting pressure.

  • How internet sleuths are un-redacting some of the Epstein files

    Jump

  • By following the law that required this release of files, which includes things like limiting redactions to specific topics, accompanying the redactions with explanations as to their content, and retaining the unredacted versions for congressional inspection.

    They are deliberately creating doubt and confusion to avoid accountability.

  • Man, the contortions that editor had to go through to get to that tame headline are spectacular. The tip says that he raped a pregnant 14 year old then oversaw the murder of her newborn baby.
