Quickly being reminded why I stopped posting on Giraffe Party as often. People are fucking exhausting… and some are intentionally exhausting. The contrarianism, pedantry, entitlement, cognitive dissonance, and lack of self-awareness is unhinged.

For everyone (finally) deciding to boycott Wendy’s and Chik Fil A… you may also want to look into Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s, Arby’s, and the owner of In N Out. Support local non-franchise spots. Preferably ones which don’t donate funds to christofascist political nonsense and/or support MAGA cultism.

The DHS shutdown ends the minute Republicans agree to reasonable ICE reforms that the majority of Americans agree with. But they refuse any changes because masked, poorly-trained paramilitary agents terrorizing communities is what they want.

an enduring part of this administration, I feel, is sullying anything it can't destroy
A small note near the floor at the exit of the truck notes the  collaboration of PragerU and Hillsdale College, and claims that “neither institution received any federal funds and both generously contributed their own resources to help create this educational exhibit.” It also said “this truck was made possible through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services,” which is, of course, a federal agency.

Every AI-generated video ended with a title card showing the White House and PragerU’s logo. “The White House is grateful for the partnership with PragerU and the US Department of Education for the production of this museum,” the card said. “This partnership does not constitute or imply a US Government or US Department of Education endorsement of PragerU.”

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos. This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

A new Senate report alleges that over 1,000 FEMA contracts, grants, or disaster assistance awards were delayed under Kristi Noem's watch. Why? Because she demanded to sign off on expenses over $100,000 — which delayed aid to victims of floods and hurricanes. "Efficiency."
