Kindness is Punk

don’t give them ideas

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

FTFY

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.

Hey, not to be this guy but please don’t forget Rule 1.

Edit: Ahh wait I thought it was a .ml community, in which case rule 1 is be nice.

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

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.

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!

I’m not a bot I’m just trying to make people’s lives easier while also working on my writing skills!

TLDR:

The Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling or retaining international students, accusing the school of fostering antisemitism, violence, and ties to China.

DHS revoked Harvard’s student visa program certification, forcing current foreign students to transfer or lose status.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from acting against current students.

TL;DR:

The DOJ charged Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with “assaulting” an ICE agent after she tried to visit a detention center in her district.

Footage shows ICE agents were the aggressors during McIver’s visit.

The charges are politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of Trump targeting opposition figures (especially Black Democrats) who challenge his policies.

The media’s coverage has been extremely soft on criticism for these alarming abuses of executive power, but this is nothing new to those of us who have seen the news in the last 12 years.

fair, updated wording

TL;DR:

President Trump is hosting an exclusive crypto-funded dinner where attendees paid between $55,000 and $37.7 million in his official cryptocurrency, $TRUMP, for a seat.

$394 million total was spent by winners averaging $1.8 million per seat

80% of the crypto project is owned by Trumps various companies.

Most winners are foreign nationals (72%), breaking U.S. campaign finance laws.

TL;DR:

Over a dozen U.S. government officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump’s major tariff announcements, which later caused market drops. While there’s no proof they used insider info, the timing is extremely suspect

Officials who sold their stocks include a White House lawyer, a State Department official, and a Trade Representative director selling shares before key announcements. Experts argue such trades undermine trust in government and markets.

TL;DR:

Trump just signed an executive order to send military resources (equipment, training, etc.) tonlocal police. Critics worry it could overstep civil liberties and violate laws limiting military involvement in civilian policing. The plan gives officials 90 days to figure out how to do it, and it’s likely to face legal challenges. Trump’s pushing hard on his “law and order” agenda, targeting sanctuary cities.

TL;DR:

The bill, backed by two GOP reps (Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Rep. Barry Moore of Alabama) proposes NIH investigation into “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) and aims to study TDS’s origins, media influence, and interventions.

The article compares it to Soviet-era tactics of labeling political dissent as a mental disorder.
