Insurrectionists have no place in public service. "Marocco was next seen inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, according to footage" www.propublica.org/article/usai...

Discriminatory firing does not buy loyalty, www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are waging an attack on American consumers — we won't stand quietly by.

"The evidence linking James Rodden to the online accounts in question is strong, with significant biographical consistencies spanning over a decade. … The depth of the investigation leaves little room for doubt.” Strong reporting by @stevanzetti.bsky.social! www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Maga thought it was about 🍳 prices, "“If you starve the IRS, you’ll be providing a feast for the tax evaders,” Williamson said." apnews.com/article/irs-...

Don’t know why it’s so hard for so many to face the facts about Trump being a Russian asset. Everybody in NYC and NJ has known about his money laundering for Russians forever. open.substack.com/pub/spytalk/...

"“Peace will only come through strength,” said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. “This requires tough and long-term security guarantees for Ukraine, a strong NATO and progress in Ukraine’s accession negotiations with the European Union,” she said." www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/...

If Trusk develops Gaza, who will be next targets? www.bbc.com/news/article...

New car bumper magnet up: Egg prices were supposed to come down, not airplanes. Trump gutted the FAA and we're already seeing the consequences. I've never been a nervous flyer, until now. Eggs have been affordable, until now. Trump did that. Available here: www.etsy.com/shop/FedUpStudio

If Zelensky is on 4%, Donald Trump is on -8%. -8%, Donald Trump isn't it time to resign and have an election?

It’s time for people of faith, morality, and conscience to hold the people in our lives accountable for their willing partnership with this filth. We may need to sever ties with our family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who still champion him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-may-nee...

1/ This seems like a good time to remind America that Trump was invited to Moscow in 1987 by Soviet ambassador Yuri Dubinin, with assistance from the KGB. When he returned, he took out full-page ads in major newspapers to assail NATO allies for not 'paying their fair share.'

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

The Senate has taken the incredible/inevitable decision to confirm Kash "Qanon" Patel as director of the FBI The Deep State must be shaking in their boots www.wired.com/story/kash-p...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

An American Boycott but think Canadian need to participate in this, too. It's CORPORATE FASCISM that we fight and we have to send a BIG message to them that we do have the Power. BOYCOTT ALL Big Box Stores/Franchises!! Support Local small business and plan ahead to stop Shopping!

Trump called them suckers and losers, yet many still voted for him because of party loyalty and perceived patriotism. The dwindling remainder that will still support him are liking what they see.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

I assume at some point we are going to get to see actual hard proof submitted in a sworn affidavit, grand jury indictment, congressional testimony, etc that millions of people are defrauding trillions from Social Security? Or is it just going to be social media posts & TV hits?

Some light reading to distract me from reality

State legislatures are in session. This is the opportunity to contact state lawmakers and tell them what programs in your state are being hit by federal funding and staffing cuts. They can't keep up with the effects because they're coming so fast. /1

“I just assumed we were referring to other people when we chanted ‘Fire the Government Workers! Fire the Government Workers!’ at that Trump rally last year.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

'Outrageous Lies': Claiming Fraud, Trump Floats Kicking Millions Off Social Security "They are laying the groundwork for denying benefits to anyone they want to punish or deem unworthy—or indeed, any one of us," said the president of Social Security Works. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-s...
