It’s interesting how these “critical cuts” we need to make to the budget always come out of the enforcement agencies keeping track of the companies bribing them with campaign money.

Because we need to replace and maintain the ones we already have. People have been talking about doing this to our aging stockpile for decades.

It makes sense to reduce our arsenal, but the nukes we do have need to be maintained for safety and reliability.

I finally switched to Linux and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t believe I put up with microsofts garbage for so damn long.

Wage theft enforcement is so desperately needed in the US.

Notice the crowd that wanted all the confederate statues around is completely silent about an actual history course being attacked by special interest groups. It’s almost like the only common goal is racism.

Youtube is a perfect example of why ad blockers exist. They use ridiculous ad volumes and spy on their users for data to sell.

Conservatives started forcing a talking point in the 80s and 90s that all the courts are liberal activists, despite that not being remotely true. So they spend 30 to 40 years building a strategy to stack the courts and hyper politicize them so they can force through undemocratic measures. I watched it happen and how it was constantly talked about, I grew up in a very politically active conservative family.

So they successfully stacked the courts, even outright lying to the American public to hold up Garlands nomination to the Supreme Court. As a result democrats have scrambled the past 4 years to confirm their own slew of judges, in order to prevent the courts from becoming a political wing of the republican party. So now we have hyper polarized courts. Judges have always had political biases, but this new wave of judges have well outlined partisan goals, like a politician running for office. It’s had a hugely negative effect on American law, like the conservative Supreme Court ignoring SB. 8 in Texas. An obviously corrupt and illegal use of the law that ignores a couple hundred years of jurisprudence.

When I was a real little kid, summer was always a hard time for me to eat because I was cut off from the subsidized lunch program. My mother was severely mentally ill and barely provided a meal a day sometimes. Food stamps, subsidized lunch programs and food shelves provided most of my nutrition, it was a benefit she couldn’t divert away from feeding me and my siblings most of the time.

Anybody who supports removing these programs is legitimately a monster. It keeps so many kids alive or from developing horrific nutritional deficiencies. It has nothing but a positive impact on the community and economy.
