This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history.

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."

Obviously the price of gas is not even in the top 10 things to be thinking of right now, but I wonder if someone in the admin was tasked with determining if *anything,* even one thing, was going reasonably well for the U.S. working class under Trump II, and that's what sparked the war

Not accusing Proton or anyone else of anything, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions & this should hammer home the basic fact that your digital communications are not safe, period. If you want even half a chance at private communications, your only safe bet is verbal + in person.

You're telling me a majority of people in Congress think we should give Donald Trump unfettered power over the largest military in the history of the world

Just, like, sit with that for a minute

The biggest clowns who have ever lived are running the country. I would vote a Caligula/Bullwinkle ticket over any of these morons.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us β€œsexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

I think at some point you just have to accept that you lack the judgment skills necessary to hold public office. Ah, but wait! A paradox arises.

Given the altar of sacrifice that we decided to put our own children on long ago, I have to wonder if we would finally see real mass outrage if the Trump administration bombed a school *in California*

Trans Kansan's being stripped of their licenses due to having previously - legally - changed their gender marker is absolutely shocking.

A person who misses the letter - let's they moved and forgot to have their mail forwarded - could drive to work and be arrested for driving without a license.

Yeah in the near future it's going to be gangbusters for lawsuits, I don't foresee a repayment program until the next admin. Either way, there's always enough work for the bar!
