A moment of awlf awareness? www.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...

How can one be so out of touch with reality? We are way beyond that at this point.

Europe now gets it that the tide has shifted. www.liberoreporter.it/2025/02/eng-...

The checks and balance function of the Congress has been brought into voluntary compliance with whatever Trump desires. If tulsi Gabbard can be confirmed then anyone can be confirmed to any cabinet position. When a vote is contingent only on positioning for the next election, this is what we get.

This is ridiculous and thoughtless! America depends on Canada for so much of the items we consume daily, oil & gas, and materials we use as input in our production processes. It is a mutually beneficial relationship that has worked for at least 150 years. What is there to be gained from this?

The trade war has begun. First Mexico, now Canada responds to Trumps tariffs.

….: who will deny reality and spread conspiracies far and wide? Any doubt as to why KKK clans are allowed to march through cities towns all across the country?

Who do autocratic leaders use to help them maintain power and subvert democracy? It’s either the military or para-military in whatever form they exist. Any doubt as to the pardoning the J6 insurrectionists? Any doubts as to him cozying up to far right social media personalities 1/3

The country’s national security interest has never been more at risk. From a TV personality to the secretary of defense. This is such a joke.

When the issue for senators becomes all about keeping their jobs, we will get people like Hegseth in positions they have no business being in

So it’s actually true! Musk is apparently interested in buying Tik Tok if current negotiations fail. What could possibly go wrong here!

How sad that federal workers’ livelihood is so threatened simply due to a change in administration. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/o...

www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/m... This does not bode well for the future of a free media in the United States.

Been thinking a lot about the sustainability of democracy, when a society is so fractured and there is no commonality in belief or national ambition. Give me some hope here …

One of the most important function of the FDIC is to protect depositors funds to the tune of $250,000 per account? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs5q... Now why would the incoming administration proposing to abolish the agency?

Quite appropriate here

NEW: The guardrails of our democracy are being taken down by the very people who insisted they be entrusted to build them — even before Trump takes office. @marcelias.bsky.social outlines why he believes we are on our own.

Very troubled by the resignation of Christopher Wray, and the message he sent to the people he once managed. At a time when we need strong people to hold the line and be a part of the force to hold democracy in place, he just seemed to fold. The struggle for democracy was not supposed to be easy.
