Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”

People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

Helluva bill. Wild to realize that the Fugs were headlining over Sly & The Family Stone in 1968.

“Violence has no place in America” has to be one of the biggest lies US politicians reflexively spout. Not only does violence have a prominent position in American society, it's a fcking religion here. And you platitudinous shitbags do fuck all to solve the problem.

"Trump is a fucking idiot who gets rolled by anyone who's nice to him" theory remains undefeated, putting someone like Mamdani in there is like having Randy Johnson sub in for a 5th grade Little League game
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?

TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

If you like Fifty Foot Hose's Cauldron, you'll probably dig Spoils Of War's The Spoils Of War. Psych-rock with mad electronics/musique concrète tactics. Sometimes I think that "Now Is Made In America" is the best song ever.
