I find it a really fascinating thought process when you ask someone in the Trump Cult whether we should invade Greenland or Canada first.
Rhetorically offer them the chance to drink all the koolaid.
A weird war of aggression proposed from a ketamine inspired blueprint produced by unfuckable and unhinged libertarian billionaires. Like there are so many bad idea flavored kool aid drinks laid out and if you skip ahead when they've been training their doublethink energies to defend calling national parks and park staffers somehow being the fraudulent corrupt Deep State, overcoming the cognitive dissonance of so much bullshit. So skip past the smaller goofy shenanigans, skip the widespread destruction of social security, medicaid, FDIC, FAA, Dept of education, post office. Tariffs. Grandparents and disabled people starving. Insisting on companies firing minorities because of white supremacy and trying to change equal opportunity laws via Royal Decree.
Drown the cultists in the cult koolaid.
American soldiers dying to conquer Greenland and then Canada? Or Canada first and then Greenland? The King has spoken, and he's the messianic chosen one because racism is just so cool and the Republican party literally has no Other Ideas. We failed to accomplish anything in particular against an Iraq insurgency for more than a decade, and now we have Hegseth "Whiskeyleaks" in charge. Canadian insurgency can't be that bad. Greenland is part of NATO. Ask your Trump supporter coworkers if they want to have their kids be paid to invade Toronto.
News hadlines from this past week 3/30/2025
The words they're afraid of.
(Read on our blog.)
The recently appointed Department of Defense head Pete Hegseth (formerly Fox News pundit, perpetually soused creepy uncle, and current group chat leaker of classified intel) banned images of the Enola Gay from the Pentagon’s website for the offense of “DEI” language. In keeping with the far right’s stated war on anything vaguely resembling diversity, equity and inclusion, even historical photos are up for cancellation. When a literal weapon of mass destruction is censored for being a bit fruity under the Trump administration’s war against inconvenient truths, what exactly is left untouched?
This is clown show stuff, but the stakes are far from funny. While some might be hesitant to compare the current administration to the very worst history has to offer, we can at least all agree that they are dyed-in-the-wool grammar Nazis. Policing language has been the objective of the MAGA culture war long before Project 2025’s debut—the wave of book bans orchestrated by astroturf movements like Moms for Liberty, and Florida’s 2022 Don’t Say Gay bill have already had a profound effect in the arena of free speech and freedom of expression (despite the far right’s long tradition of doublespeak performative free-speech martyrdom to the contrary). Don’t Say Gay ostensibly targeted K-3 education, but LGBT+ content at all levels of education (and beyond) was either quietly censored or entirely preempted in practice. The results were not just a war on so-called ideology, or words alone—but on reality and essential freedoms.
Now, words as innocuous and important as racism, climate change, hate speech, prejudice, mental health, and inequality are targeted as subversive. Entire concepts are being vanished from government institutions, scrubbed not only from descriptions but from metadata, search indexes, and archival frameworks.
If you don’t name a thing, does it exist?
These words are as numerous as they are generic: women, race, Black, immigrants, multicultural, gender, injustice. But what is painfully unserious is also particularly dangerous in its real-world consequences. The process of controlling words is a well-worn authoritarian tendency. Fifty-two universities are now under investigation as part of the President's effort to curb “woke” research and thought crimes. Institutions are being coerced to comply with a nebulous set of ideological demands, or face budgetary annihilation. That means cutting funding for entire departments, slashing financial aid, defunding scientific grants, and pressuring faculty to self-censor.
The possibilities for censorship extend far and wide—interfering, by extension, in everything from reproductive healthcare programs, to libraries and museums. The Trump administration’s proposed budget slashing all federal funding for libraries, including the Institute of Museum and Library Services, will effectively gut an infrastructure that supports over 100,000 libraries and museums across the country—community centers, educational lifelines, internet access points, and archives of marginalized histories (starting with the Smithsonian Institution).
When you erase access, you erase participation. And when you erase participation, you erase people, and the means by which future generations might even learn they existed. A culture that cannot remember is a culture that cannot resist.
The erasure is, yet again, unsurprisingly targeted at minorities and LGBT+ people. The National Parks Service quietly revised the Stonewall Monument’s website to remove references to transgender people—a fundamental part of the original protests. Not an oversight, not a mistake, but a deliberate excision—one point in a wider plan of erasure depicted in stark detail in Project 2025, a blueprint to dismantle civil rights, defund LGBT+-related healthcare, and rewrite history from the ground up.
Dehumanization by deletion—welcome to the reactionary resurgence of doubleplusungood governance. In Trumpland, words are weapons—but not in the way they intend. Their fear of language betrays its power; that’s why they’re trying so hard to police it.
Words hurt them.
Hurt them back.

In case you haven’t been following, here is a short summary of the misnamed Russian-American "peace process" regarding Ukraine.
The US demands that Ukraine accept an immediate unconditional ceasefire. Ukraine agrees.
Russia rejects any talk of such a ceasefire, and instead asks for a halt on strikes on energy targets, an area where Ukraine is hurting Russia. The US agrees and Ukraine agrees.
Russia within one day violates the terms of its own proposal, attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure along with other civilian targets. There is no US response.
Meanwhile Russia insists that the United States enforce on Ukraine Russia’s war aims, even though they are outrageous and even though Russia is not winning the war. The US agrees.
The United States also insists that Ukraine concede its mineral wealth in exchange for nothing at all.
This has not been a peace process. It has not even been appeasement. It has been the US throwing its power on Russia’s side in a war of aggression.

If First Felon had expectations of honor and integrity like a normal administration, he would have to leave the golf course and spend his time replacing all these traitors.
Two dumb, self absorbed useless trust fund babies are destroying critical services that anywhere from 25-50% of the country directly depends on, tanking the economy and trying to give 4.5 trillion in tax breaks that 86% will go to the 1%, that apparently all told will add 24 trillion to the national debt. Somehow too many republicans are actually dumb enough to believe these self absorbed, money grubbing parasites are getting rid of fraud. Will arrogantly claim you’re just mad they’re finding fraud and saving the taxpayers money. Like they give a shit either way about the taxpayers. Millions of people are going to be irrevocably harmed and yet they cheer. American democracy is sliding down the drain at the hands of a foreigner whose entire business model depends on government grants and subsidies and a businessman so shitty he’s gone bankrupt several times and had hundreds of fraud cases against him. It is depressing and frustrating to watch society crumble knowing there was a simple way to avoid this madness.
Wake up, people. We know who they are.

Hey did you know there's a tell all book about the behind the scenes of Meta and the author is forbidden from promoting it?
The good news is however that it's already published and can't be stifled and whoever didn't sign the NDA can promote it as much as they want.
it's really funny that even people who support luigi mangione have like fully bought into the propaganda being pushed that he's the one who did it when he hasn't been convicted of shit and is extremely likely just some guy the nypd and eric adams could reasonably pass off as the person who did it to save face. That huge fucking perp walk (that shouldn't have even been legal to do) was to plant the idea in the public's mind that yeah, obviously this guy did it, why would they be doing this if he wasnt, and you all fell for it without even thinking about it.
I wasn't aware of this one, so I'm trying to spread the word.
Remember: the more difficult you make it for them to realize a report is false, the more useless you make the portal.
Oh no. MAGA is mad that the NYT shared the names of DOGE staffers. Don’t share this! Would be a shame
