Please stop referring to Kristi Noem as “[whatever] Barbie”. She is a narcissist, and she enjoys this. She is flattered by this. Call her a Cunt instead.

If you saw a group of men kicking the shit out of someone you would step in and try to break it up.. but when the group of men are cops you can't do anything because they are acting with impunity and even when their actions are brazenly unlawful and harmful they aren't held to account. Not ok.

They're starting interest accrual on student loans again for no reason other than to remind you who's in charge. What they've forgotten is that they've built the entire crooked system on our backs and without us it all crumbles.

Did you know fed employees now have essay questions they have to answer as part of their application? One of the questions asks them to list an EO or policy of the current administration w which they agree and why. To summarize: we are purging institutional knowledge and replacing it with loyalty.

The people on the Epstein flight logs and client lists are (allegedly) some of the richest and most powerful men in the world. Since money and power buy a different set of rules, there won't ever be accountability. And that's a huge fucking problem because it doesn't start or end with Epstein.
