Think about how much easier it would be to prosecute Hegseth for war crimes if Kissinger or Cheney and Rumsfield had been.
Can you even imagine how different the last few decades would be if Kissinger had faced literally any form of justice for his crimes.

The duty of every citizen of the United States is to make sure that the leaders of institutions that have capitulated to Donald Trump don’t just suffer a few days of bad publicity, but rather a lifetime of social and professional ostracism.

Northwestern throws trans women under the bus to please the Trump administration (while also paying off the Trump administration).
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

As a Northwestern alum, I can say that the university’s true motto has always been “the path of least resistance”

By my reading, I would no longer be able to use a women’s room on Northwestern campus, despite having graduated from the institution more than a decade ago
The university said it expects funding to be restored within 30 days and establish a committee to ensure compliance with the agreement

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Imagine paying a large monthly fee to shop at a supermarket, then paying again for the actual groceries, then getting an extra charge months later because one ingredient in an item you bought came from a farmer associated with a different store.

the fact that dealing with rampant lying and its much worse downstream consequences involves cultivating values rather than just imposing formal frameworks or rules (legal or otherwise) is a tough pill to swallow for some. but it is indeed medicine
Pointing out that something is incorrect definitely isn't sufficient - the *culture* of "it is bad to make incorrect statements, good to promptly and clearly retract and apologize for them, and disqualifying to keep making them deliberately" is the framework needed for fact-checking to plug into.
