ehile men still outnumber women in participation rate, men are leaving the job market in larger numbers due to layoffs, and probably other reasons.

labor force ttus of women and men, September 2026

it's a woman's economy now

as for educational support, this has been a commonly known fact for years now.

more women get aid, though the awards are a bit lower than men.

pell grants are more lopsided.

I literally had this exact exchange with someone last year, when they tried to cast doubt on global warming by comparing it to the ozone. Another person did the same , using acid rain, and I pointed out that the northeast sued the shit out of the Midwest until they cut that shit with the coal fire power plants.

Seems pretty clear to me that my country is no longer a beacon of freedom or justice. 2nd amendment resolutions are starting to look necessary.

We will know in November... Or earlier if elections are canceled as I expect.

Hypocracy on display. Trump spent 4 years demanding the Democrats release the files, scoring political points on the right. Now it's projection all over again.

I'm sure there are several people in the Democratic party who were part of this. That does not matter. bad is bad. I don't care if you otherwise appear to have similar values to me.

The fact that Trump has not already been removed from office on the basis of violating the constitution tells me he's already won.

There are no consequences to ignoring the rule of law, so he will simply continue. Since there are no consequences to ignoring law, he will simply cancel elections. Who's gonna stop him? He's already declared himself king and few even shrugged.

It's over. The only thing left is a violent uprising. Pretty soon even saying that will be enough to put the speaker in prison as a terrorist.

The outrage is telling. Hogg is making an effort to introduce fresh faces and ideas at the primary level. This gives Democrats a chance to choose which ideas they want to go into play in congress. That is all.

If those voters are happy with what they currently have, the incumbent is safe. If not, those new ideas go up against opposing ideas. If a plurality like those ideas, they get to see them play out in congress. The only risk here is that they lose the seat.

Since at the moment, he's doing this in reliably blue districts, the risk is lower than elsewhere. This is a recipe for real change in the Democratic party for the better.

The only reason to fight against it so hard (that I see) is the protection of individuals' comfort at the expense of the welfare of our nation. It's evidence of moral rot in the the party that is threatened by true representation of the citizens' needs.

I support Hogg's efforts - as long as he does not have the morality of "boss Hogg". (For the kids out there who have no idea of what i mean, find and watch a season of The Dukes Of Hazzard.)

I don't generally take highly political sources like this seriously, so I search the topic to see if any other less obviously partisan sources have similar reports.

This definitely does as my first hit was an LA Times article. Looks like standard Fascism to me.

I see they're looking to kill F-Droid.

Citizen enforces his own right to the Fourth Amendment and is prosecuted by the government for not letting them try to find incriminating evidence on him. For something. Maybe. Because he looks suspicious.

I hope that lawyer gets it thrown out. I'm not holding my breath. We've gone so far into fascism I'm not sure it'll take anything less than violence to end it.

They cannot celebrate his conviction because that would undermine their assertion that the trump trial was rigged.

In a twisted way, their reaction makes sense, and for me, was predictable. The cult must be constantly managed for it to remain intact.

I still have pride in what The United States aspired to be between the two times the billionaires took over.

Truth, justice, compassionate for most (not Nazis, for example) and a vision for a future that lifts up all cultures and takes responsibility for our mistakes.

I am definitely not proud of who we are right now.

In consistent authoritarian fashion, now that Bovino has caused a PR problem for them, under the bus he goes and all blame goes to him.

I'm confident he was doing exactly what was expected of him. Don't fall for the fall guy playbook.

Hate to say it, but a violent revolution might be necessary. God help us.

It's perfect conditioning to accept authoritarian rule, and constant surveillance as normal.

The whole premise of this makes no sense. I smell a right-wing propaganda piece.

What moron would kidnap a child to force the child to change genders - at great cost to the kidnappers?

Ok, now I will go (try to) read it.

Edit: still doesn't make sense.

Classic movie! It was commenting on the Regan era trickle-down, job exporting, tax-cutting agenda and the people behind it

Wait! The darling of the conspiracy theory wingnut flat earther, pizzagate crowd is pushing government certified identification requirements???

We have found the number of the beast, and it is X (and the neurochip he's pushing)

Basquistan.

The Basque population finally won their freedom, and carved out a bit of France for some elbow room.

It's sad when citizens have to actually bring physical proof of just how angry they are. Good leadership should see that their people aren't with them well before guillotines and nooses start showing up to the public meetings.

we (America) will never recover from the humiliation inflicted by this moron.
