If gender were the immutable biological reality they claim to believe it is, they wouldn't need to spend so much energy policing it like this.
Makes sense. Just hadn't thought of Morocco as a place we'd have a forward base.
Thanks!

Why were we sending nuclear weapon cores to Morocco? That seems like an odd place to put them.
(I didn't even realize we have had bases in Morocco in the past...)
As they spend billions on the Iran War, the Trump administration is moving to kick six million Americans off food assistance, including two million children.

An excerpt from the official minutes of a meeting at the Turkish foreign minister's office in Ankara, Turkey, on Monday March 10, 1975, from 5:20-6:30 p.m. The subjects were "aid cut-off" and "Cyprus." Esenbel: "The Europeans should find ways to meet quick needs: for example, the Air Force needs spare parts. For other items that they can't find in the stocks, maybe you could make a deal with the Dutch or others to send it here. [US Ambassador William B.] Macomber: "That is illegal." Kissinger: “Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at meetings, ‘The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.' [laughter] But since the Freedom of Information Act, I'm afraid to say things like that. We'll make a major effort.”
Today in 1975, during a meeting with Turkey’s Foreign Minister Melih Esenbel in his office in Ankara, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said candidly, “Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at meetings, ‘The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.’”
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
We’ve compiled every serious scandal the Attorney General has faced during his political ascendancy, and somehow managed to emerge unscathed from.

AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?
The powerplay in this, btw, is when FIFA/Kraft try to bully the committee in the public meeting with a lawyer saying they do not have the authority to block the permit.
At which point the committee just Zoom call their own counsel who's like:
"Pfff. Yeah you do. Ignore that dude." To the room.
NEW: TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help since the Trump administration began dismantling the CFPB.

There's an episode of the original Pokemon where aliens turn everyone into zombies. Apart from Ash and Team Rocket, who work together to defeat them.
The aliens moan they lost cos the zombie ray doesn't work on idiots
Ash is like "You mean idiots or me!"
Aliens are all "oh yeah sure kid sure"
A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

If your salary is $1 million, today's the day you stop paying into social security for the year.
94% of us pay in all year long.
Dead simplest social security fix is to lift this cap. $1m+ earners wouldn't even notice it and it'd keep the fund flush for everyone. Maybe even increase payouts.
This should be the easiest tax policy fix in america and it kills me that the gop will never vote for a tax increase that would barely affect anyone and literally save millions of people for decades into the future
Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises.
Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica investigation found.

This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society.
And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.
Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.
Take the damn money and leave me alone.
