Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

What he said. 👇👇👇

Jasmine Crockett keeping it real. It is truly satanic what is happening.

In this week of the Purge: Trump is make plans to do more mass layoff! Sir, didn't you promise the people a "better" America, how are people suppose to survive? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Hero

Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.

Thank goodness my kids are old enough to be fully vaccinated but I feel for those who aren’t and cannot be for various reasons. This is so insane!!

Apparently big balls is related to a kgb spy. This is going really well…. 😳😭🫠

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

This is so incredibly sad. Bullying is never ok. Full stop.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

Not finished with this one yet, but another fascinating and terrifying listen. www.audible.com/pd/B0CT49S3V...

Fascinating listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

👇🏽WATCH: TN Dems Sen. @jeffyarbro.bsky.social & Rep. @jrclemmons.bsky.social explain why Trump’s attack on the Dept of Ed will harm students with disabilities Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGI9pL0...

History likes to rhyme with itself …

It’s interesting to me how the red hats seem to think the liberals control the weather in order to access natural resources but fail to see that their dear leader is the one actually wanting to displace people and access these resources for himself. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/u...

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

It’s not about political sides … it’s about shared humanity. Idk when people will wake up and realize what’s happening but this is bad and it’s only the beginning.

If you work in healthcare this will affect you.

Oath to the CONSTITUTION. I mean, I know people slept thru history class, but if you can recite the second amendment all the time, you should also know this one... and hold our executive and judicial officers accountable to it. Not doing so, is a threat to democracy.

But we are concerned about the “bloated budget” going to humanitarian aid and education?!

I love that these complete morons assumed we were sending palettes of cash to countries and not sending things like rice and wheat while paying American farmers for those goods

This!!!!!

Why can’t our lawmakers fix issues instead of creating more? We need appropriate mental health care. This sounds like a slippery slope back to sanitarium days.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Wow.

“Call someone who cares?” — aren’t congressmen elected officials who are supposed to care?! Both sides send their kids to public schools…

This rhetoric is harmful and dangerous!! While I don’t disagree that people take medication when they shouldn’t, and that’s obvi a problem, I also cannot get behind any statement that pretends as if ADHD isn’t a real disorder and that “the belt” will fix it.

Wow!!!! Also, I think teachers would rather have funding for their students than get $2000, which they’ll also still just spend on their students because teachers are saints.

Follow the money and see where it leads…. This is beyond disappointing.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

This is incredible! What a cool opportunity for OT practitioners to get involved in.

It’s fascinating to me how many red counties in tn have school boards who are actively advocating against vouchers… it’s not just Davidson and Shelby co but truly anyone who understands the education system sees why this is problematic.

The prose makes me lol, but truly, we have entered the cringe era.
