Any of the “pro-life” groups going to complain about this?
USaid.gov is down.
It was pointed out on conan O'brien of all places after jan 6th, but, regardless of ideology the basic lack of humanity from trump and his ilk is terrifying

All cost money*, and currently the u.s refuse to afford such fripperies.
There's twits* here in the uk want us out of the ECHR. It seems hate pays sooner than anything else. It might be true.
‘Italian’ purees likely to contain Chinese forced-labour tomatoes
Some products described as “Italian” appear to contain Chinese tomatoes, BBC investigation suggests.

out of sight, out of mind.
Playing by the rules seems to mean being downed by the competition. The business of cruelty is being bought into whole sale. It is a hell of a world where rampant slavery and mindless violent cruelty are seemingly the way forward towards prosperity. It's a mess, and the self considered good having done nothing for decades seems to have invited this malevolence to all of our doors.

For this minuscule amount of fentanyl we are apparently going into a trade war with one of our closest allies.

In Fiscal Year 2024, USCBP seized 21,148 pounds of fentanyl at the southwest border, mostly smuggled from Mexico. In contrast, only 43 pounds were intercepted at the northern border. This means that less than 1% of all fentanyl seizures occurred at the U.S.-Canada border.
Furthermore, drug flows are not a one-way street. In 2024, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) seized approximately 10.8 pounds of fentanyl coming into Canadafrom the United States. In comparison, CBSA reported that 17.6 pounds of fentanyl were smuggled from Canada into the U.S. This suggests that the trafficking issue is not as one-sided as the administration claims.

I dont think a lot of people, particularly rural Americans, get the need for DEI.
Here's a study in Boston from 10 years ago
According to a 2015 Federal Reserve Bank of Boston study, the median net worth of Black households in Greater Boston was $8, compared to $247,500 for white households.
When you localise school districts, pretty much all the black families live in neighborhoods with lower tax bases and therefore have the worst schools.
Kids don't get the opportunity to go to better schools/colleges.
The game is rigged. DEI was an attempt to even out the spread a tiny bit.
If you think DEI is depriving the best people from getting the best jobs, you're very much mistaken.
I know most of the American posters on here get this but those from the UK might not.
As an aside, I've never understood why school funding is based off your towns tax base and not your states tax base. The difference in standards of kids schools from town to town is insane and it only widens (by design),

Given this country's racial history, it's not difficult to guess one reason. The other is rich white folk don't want their kids to go to school with po kids of any color. So they created separate districts.
I see he's signed the Tariff order.
Wonder what the Dow will do on Monday morning,
I genuinely don't know what will happen.

Yea, I guess I misspoke when I said I never understood why we have the system, I guess I'm more surprised at how ingrained it is.
Even super progressive friends and family look at me funny when I hint that doing away with school districts might be a good idea.
"but this town paid for the 5k football field for little freddy and his buddies, why would we pay for Shelbyvilles schools?"
