Kindness is Punk

Who could have possibly predicted that Trump would side with Putin? What an utterly shocking development if only there had been years of obsequious praise, leaked intelligence to Russian officials, and repeated calls to dismantle NATO as clues! Truly, nobody saw this coming.

don’t give them ideas

Poll: Americans overwhelmingly want Trump to obey court rulings, but MAGA Republicans are split are traitors.

FTFY

it’s amazing how Republicans keep proving they’re just the worst people imaginable and every four to eight years after they’re ousted for being the horrible people that they are people forget and let them back in

I understand it’s a consequence of the first past the post system but it just sucks.

Because Reddit is corporate rock and we’re punk rock

The world is so fucked, they could create a machine that grinds orphans into bullets to kill single mothers and 45% of the population would support it if it was pitched by Their Guy ™️

Runs in the family I guess, and by family I mean Republican caucus.

TL;DR;

Trump admin guts the Biden-era EMTALA guidance which forced hospitals to provide life-saving abortions in medical emergencies.

CMS claims it’ll still enforce EMTALA only if the fetus is also at risk. Translation: Pregnant people’s health no longer matters.

SCOTUS’s non-rulings left ER docs guessing if they’ll face prison for doing their jobs.

This isn’t “states’ rights” it’s state-sanctioned femicide. The admin’s own CMS admits the goal is to “rectify confusion” (read: intimidate hospitals into compliance).

That’s definitely the most sinister thing about propaganda, that everyone things they’re unaffected by it.

While that can definitely be true, it’s not the case in this instance, they actually did say Russia was justified and that Ukraine joining NATO provoked the war.

I mean, no company’s your friend but Nvidia have basically been giving consumers testicular torsion for about a decade now.

I’m not sure I follow.

TL;DR:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to bar government-funded scientists from publishing in several government funded medical journals accusing them of being “corrupt” and controlled by Big Pharma. Instead, he proposed creating HHS-run “in-house” journals, claiming they would become the new gold standard for medical research.

This move risks turning U.S. medical research into a political tool, eroding trust, accelerating the decline of American science and creating an eminent threat to the American healthcare system.

Capitalists won’t be happy until our future is not but ash.

It’s pretty clear that Trump’s stance toward the slaughter of Ukrainians has been one of quiet complicity.

TL;DR:

Craig Fuller, founder of FreightWaves and once a potential Trump transportation pick, says the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods have triggered a supply chain collapse, truck traffic from LA ports is down 23%, with 50% import drops predicted. Even major logistics firms like Knight-Swift blame “toxic tariffs” for plummeting volumes.

Sorry, I’m just summarizing the article to practice my writing. if it isn’t in the article I usually won’t catch it. Thanks for the additional context though!

TLDR:

Israeli airstrikes killed at least six Palestinians guarding aid trucks in Gaza, according to Hamas, as aid distribution struggles due to looting and delays.

Israel says it allowed 300 trucks in since easing its blockade, but aid groups say it’s not enough and many supplies are stuck at the border.

The UN warns of extreme hunger, with two million people at risk of famine. Meanwhile, Israel intensified strikes overnight, hitting 75 targets.

The conflict, ongoing since October 2023, has killed over 53,600 Palestinians,
