Sadly apt art in these United States:

A 3,000-pound ice sculpture of the word “Democracy” placed in the sun on the National Mall on Wednesday morning, in direct view of the U.S. Capitol as a vanishing reminder, its creators said, of rapidly eroding rights.

On the National Mall, ‘Democracy’ drips in daylight

Ben Cohen, of Ben & Jerry’s, helped bring a 3,000-pound ice sculpture to the capital as a warning that “democracy is melting away before our very eyes.”

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent.

I love kids but I can barely afford my pets.

Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

Pam Bondi has basically said anyone visiting the US is subject to arrest and incarceration at any point, if law officials deem the individual a “threat”.

Bang goes the rest of the international tourism trade.

“Kids can just ask AI to explain things”

What AI explains:

Let’s keep the good teachers and profs around for just a little longer, ok!!

Screenshot of a BlueSky post by Luke Plunkett from October 15, 2025 stating “kids teacher just sent this home as part of an assignment he’s doing and I want to smash every computer at the school” and shows an infographic of what one can only assume is supposed to be the water cycle.
It’s titled “WATER IN THE WORLD” and has subheadings of “ a slightly simpliced” “Year 7 studens” “water avaibabity” “rain rain barkels” “bisic ilcomations” and total nonsense in graphics as well.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

It never ends…

How much could Americans have done for themselves with that $40 BILLION?!?
Healthcare? Veterans support? Education? Food Insecurity?

Nope.
Bribing another dictator for whatever selfish reason he’s doing. It’s all about him in the end.
Always.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

“How about that?”

Isn’t Trump a billionaire?!
How about you pay them directly asshole since you’re the one being protected by the shut down and you’re the one who’s deployed them into American cities where they don’t belong?

Oh wait, now you’re not a billionaire anymore, right?!
