  • Tim Kaine Moves to Force War Powers Vote to Prevent Trump From Attacking Iran

    Jump

  • International relations noob here. I get why we want to do this, and sure, do it, but it feels like the real plan is to just keep funding Israel while they do a little ethnic cleansing both countries' leadership wants.

  • What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality

  • The incredible adventures of Van Helsing. Decent rpg with loot but was fairly imbalanced among character classes. The real winner was the mini tower defense games in it and the spinoff tower defense game, imo.

  • Suspect in Minnesota Shooting Linked to Security Company, Evangelical Ministry

    Jump

  • The irony of a guy whose faith came to power by r*ping and pillaging, telling members of another faith to be nonviolent is hilarious. He and his faith obviously just don't want the competition.

  • Here we go again

    Jump

  • My first thought before checking other people's takes in the Internet is that we (USA) were just acting like it took us by surprise, but it was actually planned because we want to crush the Muslim state, and this is the best opportunity we've seen to move forward with that. We immediately defended Israel against Iran's retaliatory barrage.

    I admittedly know shit about foreign policy but just assume we do things that any racist christian nationalists might do, and that's one. I'm not supporting Iran here; just trying to make sense of it. Religion poisons everything.

  • Walmart Workers Share Photos of Price Increases

    Jump

  • I've actually seen them posting about eggs and only eggs now. They want to know why liberals aren't talking about egg prices now. They're ignoring the rest. They're down to $3 a dozen or so, which is better, but it's still at least double what they were not long ago.

  • WATCH: Furious Residents Surround ICE Agents Trying to Arrest Mom Clinging to Baby

    Jump

  • Man I hope that when this is over, these thugs are hunted to the end of their existence and imprisoned, no matter their age. They should be treated like we treat Nazis of old. "Just following orders" shouldn't fly.

  • How the fuck are you getting a valid random sample of people with autistic diagnoses/characteristics by limiting yourself to Medicaid/Medicare recipients?

  • Musk Cuts Funding for Internet Archive

    Jump

  • To be replaced by something privately funded, if at all.

  • Locked

    Torrenting is not allowed on Windscribe

    Jump

  • Agreed, but that's also weird. Suddenly they're the arbiter of what rules are okay to break and what aren't? Sounds like they're just trying to keep costs/traffic down.

  • Mike Johnson says men need to stop ‘playing video games all day’ and get to work: ‘They’re draining resources’

    Jump

  • They call 13 year old girls "young women," so it stands to reason that they're talking about getting teenage boys into the workforce for minimum wage here, yeah.

  • Rand Paul Fears Trump Tariffs Could Mean 1930s-Style Republican Wipeout: ‘We Lost the House and Senate for 60 Years’

    Jump

  • Shit, you're right. We can't have that. Can't wait to watch read about Josh Hawley breaking Booker's new record with a speech about how freedom of religion is discriminatory against christians and only christians.

  • As top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in Russia

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if this helps, but I use uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger in Firefox and can read it.

  • House Republicans vote to defund DC police

    Jump

  • Gun bans next?

  • Elon Musk Calls on Trump to Pardon Ex-Cop Derek Chauvin, Who Murdered George Floyd

    Jump

  • I think it's a reasonable assessment of the current situation. He wants/they want to put us in a situation where our military must or can be used to restore order. They want to normalize military use against US citizens.

  • Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.

    Jump

  • Or use it as a product search engine, then go to the supplier or an alternate online store to buy the one you want. I don't have it on my phone but do go to it in browser occasionally for that.

  • A 40-day Target boycott starts today. It couldn’t come at a worse time for the company

    Jump

  • That's my thought as well. A one day boycott like the "no shopping day" does literally nothing, but 40 days can reform habits. To the extent practicable, I'm doing all my shopping at Costco now. I generally eat a lot of the same things, so bulk quantities aren't that big of a deal to manage.

  • Dow tumbles more than 600 points, S&P 500 posts biggest loss since December as Trump says tariffs will proceed

    Jump

  • Sure was. After Pell Grant and whatnot, I only needed most of my subsidized loan to live on campus at a private four year college.

    It feels weird to be old enough to watch us repeat that cycle but with more fascism this time. At least I learned to always live in fear and anxiety that everything could be lost in a moment, so now my emergency fund is decent.

  • I'm not an economist, but is this where we

    1. Lower interest rates to "help the economy"
    2. Normal people still can't afford things because we're in a recession
    3. Normal people start losing their homes
    4. Rich people have cheap loans to buy said homes due to interest rate drops
    5. Rich people rent out new homes to normal people for more than they were paying in mortgage, after normal people rebound or figure out how to make it work with two families in the home
    6. America is...great?

  • Iowa becomes first state to remove transgender civil rights protections

    Jump

  • Oh we are. Can't really call ourselves "Iowa Nice" at this point. No one is trying harder to get 45's attention than Governor Reynolds, aka The Kim Reaper. We've got private school vouchers, we nuked our progressive tax brackets in favor of a flat tax, and we even started our own DOGE.
