When you think about things like the consumer financial protection bureau remember we had to make up an entire bureau in government just to stop companies from screwing us constantly.
Capitalism is inherently terrible for everyone but the oligarchy. Which is why they're trying to gut the CFPB

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle.
One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

Ah, the 1930s Germany frame.
But in the post-reconstruction era, America had Jim Crow, the resegregation of the federal workforce, and deadly pogroms against black people in the South.
We’ve been here before. It’s just it didn’t happen to white people.
Where do yall think Germany learned from?

Interesting question: if you were living in Germany in the ‘30s in which year would you call it and emigrate?

1. After a federal judge ruled that websites containing LGBTQ+ information at the CDC must be restored, the Trump administration did so... but then also added snide and incorrect anti-trans headers to them.
