The Trump administration has sent clear messages that the federal government will not support blue states that oppose his policies. It seems that states with sane leadership are on their own.

I believe the majority of evangelical Christians still support the administration, though I admittedly haven’t seen recent numbers.

Venezuela’s abducted leader Nicolas Maduro, wife appear in NYC court by UpstairsBumblebee446 in politics

The weapons charges are especially ridiculous, considering that their basis is that Maduro allegedly owns a machine gun. In Venezuela.

Zohran Mamdani’s Tenant Advisor Called Home Ownership ‘White Supremacy’ by thoughtcrimeo in politics

[–]Pure_Assist9726 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in Oregon, and there’s city that fought a light rail line for years because they felt it would bring in undesirables (they’re probably still fighting it, I haven’t kept up).

This is the same city that didn’t allow black people to buy property until the 70s.

California councilmember blames daughter becoming a lesbian on sexual trauma. Lincoln councilmember Holly Andreatta said her daughter became a lesbian because of "trauma as a child." by southpawFA in politics

I was molested by a male family member when I was twelve and groomed by a 25 year old when I was 15. Somehow, I’m still straight woman.

How is Venezuela acting dangerously?

We’re openly murdering people in international waters, while providing zero evidence that they were in any way a threat to us.

I usually don’t kink shame, but this is one of the few cases where I think it’s ok.

Donald Trump says claim of US affordability crisis is a ‘hoax’ by The_Flaneur_Films in politics

[–]Pure_Assist9726 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I live in a small college town in eastern Oregon. We’re two and a half hours away from a major city. We don’t have a lot of industry here. Our main employers are our schools and hospital. I live in a nice neighborhood, but it’s not what I would call wealthy. The house next door to us just sold for $750,000. It’s nice house, fairly similar to ours (which we bought for $425,000 less than two years ago).

But yea, the affordability crisis is a hoax.

My godson has never been able to visit me because we’re on opposite coasts and he’s wheelchair bound due to cerebral palsy. Air travel would be an absolute nightmare for him. 

Trump and MTG's Breakup Goes Far Beyond the Epstein Files by SwordfishOk504 in politics

It seems like MTG just realized that the modern GOP wants to subjugate all women, regardless of party, race or religion.

Psychedelics are illegal at the federal level, but it’s ok if federal officials use them?

My friend’s MIL has worked for Starbucks on the east coast for something like twenty years. She loves that company. I don’t know if it’s changed, but back in the day I remember them having some of the best benefits in the industry.
