Imagine if men spent more time building & repairing things to improve their community instead of having a circle je*k about their feelings, right wing doom scrolling, and complaining about women. There is no male loneliness crisis, you're just yearning for constructive purpose.
The world if men were not re*arded

If national security is everything, then national security is nothing at all, apart from a tool to revive a zombie army of post-9/11 legal mechanisms against all sorts of domestic dissidents.

Trump administration officials have stated that they intend to send up to 1,000 election monitors to the polls this fall, in what some Democratic lawmakers are calling “a mechanism for intimidating voters and pressuring local election officials."

Moderation isn’t the answer — progressive populism is. I don’t understand how some members of my party hate the DSA and Hasan Piker more than literal white supremacists in our government. Especially if Democrats actually want to win.

Daniel Sanchez Estrada moved a box full of radical literature. A right-wing judge sentenced him to 30 years in prison. It's a prime example of how the Trump administration is weaponizing conspiracy charges against dissenters. “We are not terrorists; we are being terrorized."

At least 18 U.S. troops have been killed. Nearly 100 troops injured since the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran resumed two weeks ago, 447 troops injured since war began. The war has cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $113–120 billion and could drain up to $2.2 trillion from the global economy annually.
