Republicans famously have said government should not be picking “winners and losers” when regulating the market. What is this if not that exact thing? Once again, they accuse others of wrongly doing the things they themselves do. #USPolitics #GOPFail #FuckTrump […]

Happy to see these guys back out

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) urges continued support and robust funding for NOAA, the federal agency that is the source of critical weather and climate information, including forecasting during severe weather events. This is literally a matter of life or death. Read the letter […]

Accountable language!

Buyer’s remorse? Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee of Arkansas seeks routine federal assistance from FEMA but is told to beat feet. Look, if the GOP wants to make changes to FEMA policy, sure, let’s discuss and implement a transition plan. But the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief is taking the […]

Darling Wife and I completed our rewatch of ANDOR Season 1 so we’re ready to go for Season 2 tonight! #StarWars #Andor

“If any officer or enlisted member had passed classified information over an unsecured or unauthorized [device], we would have been immediately removed [them] from our position, investigated, most likely prosecuted. For an officer, it’s a career killer.” said Joe Plenzler, a retired veteran of […]

Pete Hegseth was never qualified to be CEO of a department with 2.8 million employees and an annual budget of $824 billion. And now he’s demonstrated his incompetence at following even the most basic security protocols required to carry out the life-and-death missions of DoD. If any other […]

FACT: The Convicted-Felon-in-Chief is a bad manager, and he picked unqualified people of poor character to be leaders in his cabinet. FACT: Almost every single Republican Senator (and a few Democrats as well) voted to confirm his unqualified and poor choices to be leaders in his cabinet. FACT […]

“How many times does Pete Hegseth need to leak classified intelligence before Donald Trump and Republicans understand that he isn’t only a fucking liar, he is a threat to our national security? Every day he stays in his job is another day our troops’ lives are endangered by his singular […]

100% this. The current @governor.ca.gov forever disqualified himself to lead when he showed himself willing to throw trans people under the bus and his craven political depravity seems to know no bounds.

This date in 2010: In the Gulf of Mexico near the Louisiana coast, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explodes killing 11 workers. The disaster results in the largest offshore oil spill in American history. #Louisiana #history #FossilFuels #NOLA #NeverForget […]

Hippity hoppity

We visited Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in Barataria this week and saw this sign. I suppose it’s necessary because some people will forget the “wild” in “wildlife.” #Louisiana #NOLA #NOLAdon #wildlife

There are 193 member nations represented at the UN. The U.S. opposed the resolution condemning Russia’s war of aggression and sided with a tiny minority of dissenting states. These are our allies according to Republicans and the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief: Russia, Belarus, Eritrea, Congo, Mali […]

A party for a worthy cause! #Louisiana #nola #NOLAdon

The history of slavery is the history of America. Republicans like the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief want to hide that history. #USPolitics #Louisiana #NOLA #history #FuckTrump https://veritenews.org/2025/04/16/trump-whitney-plantation-black-history/

On a decentralized social network, your government has to go after every independent local server that wants to post the stuff they don't want you to see. And you can always use a foreign server accessing that content on foreign servers that they can't touch. The government has to shut down […]

Bluesky didn't reach a federated stage where you could choose a service provider in a free country before they started to censor people based on authoritarian demands.

Louisiana consistently ranks among the states in the country with the highest maternal mortality rate. What, if anything, will the Louisiana Legislature do to address this crisis during the session that started yesterday? Browsing the listing of pre-filed bills, I find nothing. Absolutely […]

Last week we visited the monument that honors LATIN AMERICAN WORKERS who helped rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. It’s important to remember that immigrants contribute to our communities in many ways, including their labor. I guarantee you nobody […] [Original post on universeodon.com]

Happy International Day of Human Space Flight to all who celebrate! It was April 12, 1961, on which Yuri Gagarin crewed the Vostok 1 mission, completing one orbit around Earth in just over 108 minutes. On that historic morning, Yuri called out “Poyekhali!” […] [Original post on universeodon.com]

[Trump] Anyone else notice that #Trump, despite all his admin's activity and despite his party controlling #Congress, has not been trying to achieve anything whatsoever through #legislative means? Like, the #legislature has been completely sidelined as less than an afterthought. He's acting as […]

Read this and tell me how the government of any free nation can issue this directive on official letterhead. The Convicted-Felon-in-Chief openly and forcefully says disloyalty to him personally or politically is disloyalty to the United States of America. He is using the power of government to […]

JPSO lost over a MILLION DOLLARS because of incompetence in managing their bank accounts. This happened months ago but only came to light now because of a recent accounting audit. Looks like Sheriff Lopinto has been hiding this major crime from the public because of how embarrassing it is to him […]

A nice day at Crescent Park. I agree with the messages on this building and wall. #nola #louisiana

Every time you write or say the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief did something horrible, you should add, “enabled by Republicans everywhere,” because Trump is not alone. He is aided and abetted by Republican voters and elected representatives at the local, state, and national levels. They all share the […]

And some of us can add it's 1981 and We are in a once in a generation economic crisis. Fuck financial deregulation, man. And, of course, fuck the idiot in the White House causing the current mess and every person who voted for him.
