  • The full scope of the administration’s review was spelled out in a 51-page spreadsheet sent to federal agencies and viewed by The Associated Press. Each line was a different government initiative, from pool safety to tribal workforce development to special education.

    Officials were directed to answer a series of yes or no questions for every item on the list, including “does this program promote gender ideology?” or “does this program promote or support in any way abortion?” Responses are due by Feb. 7.

    This is where my heart sank. This article is so long but this blip and the conclusion points to what is really going down.

    Here we go again





  • What? Costco is considered a legitimately good company to work for even at the lowest entry level jobs with pay above minimum wage and benefits offered that many similar jobs wouldn’t. I literally have never stumbled on any Costco negativity until now so is this like just some general hate to anything large and successful in capitalism ? Did I miss something and just only know the propaganda? It doesn’t even have the same economic displacement as Walmart for example, because it requires a membership, has limited variety of options for anything on your list that they carry and you also have means and desire to pay for in bulk. Generally people don’t do all their shopping at costco/Sam’s club (latter of which IS owned by Walmart)




  • I dont disagree at all. But there is more to this I think because of this

    After returning to the White House, a reporter asked Trump for his reaction to the sermon. At least initially, he offered relatively muted criticism. “I didn’t think it was a good service,” the Republican said. “They can do much better.”

    Then hours later he posted his rant. You can use your imagination for because it sounds exactly like AI wrote something from one of his tweets.

    But there was a larger context to his latest online tantrum.

    For example, Trump wasn’t the only Republican who was quick to target the bishop. Fox News personalities appeared eager to villainize her — Laura Ingraham described the sermon as “the rantings of a lunatic” — and GOP Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia called for Budde, an American citizen, to be “added to the deportation list.”

    Seems more like trump was following the leader.



  • The price of food is going up because corporations want to maximize profit and WILL make the consumer eat the cost and feel the outrage because the lowest paid employees want a somewhat sustainable wage and not be on welfare while still working 40+ hours a week however they can.

    Rising wages does not need to be an indication of rising prices, instead they could be an indication a company is doing well. And that’s sorta how it works in startup businesses and stuff right? Eventually that stops because the people making the decisions are now too far removed from the lowest rung, depending how big they grow and how susceptible to greed.


  • Also among those pardoned was one of the riot’s most recognisable figures, Jacob Chansley, the self-styled QAnon Shaman, who was released from jail in 2023 after serving 27 months of his 41-month jail sentence.

    He told the BBC that he heard the news from his lawyer while he was at the gym.

    He added: “I walked outside and I screamed ‘freedom’ at the top of my lungs and then gave a good Native American war cry.”

    Excuse me what??? What the actual fuck, he was at the gym? These fuckers do not hear themselves and have no sense of irony or shame. Eta: unclear, meant he already has freedoms many don’t and he certainly did not deserve
