Kash Patel, "We are going to remove the two teir justice system.." Mate, your boss is literally the poster-child for this. Like, what? Conviced 37 times by a jury of his peers, then utilizing delay tactics is now sitting in the highest office in the land. Dude literally violated his clearance.

I will never stop thinking about this Gabe Newell quote

Kash Patel, a vitriolic partisan, has been confirmed as FBI Director.

Fantastic reporting from the @propublica.org team here.

🚨 Republicans are set to propose billions in Medicaid cuts next week. Here’s who would be hurt in TX: ❗36.2% of children ❗48% of new moms & babies ❗25.9% of adults w/disabilities ❗61% in nursing homes ❗15% of Medicare beneficiaries I’m fighting to protect their care. #SaveMedicaid #TX32

Senate Republicans are trying to pass MASSIVE tax cuts for the richest people on earth and the biggest corporations. And they want to do it by cutting YOUR health care, veterans benefits, cancer research, and more—this couldn't be any LESS about helping the middle class.

Kash Patel, really? well this should be fun.

What I just witnessed DOGE do made me feel like I was going insane, and I worry that’s the intention. Earlier today, many ppl began pointing out that while DOGE said it canceled an $8b contract, it was actually only worth $8m

This is getting to PRC levels of surveillance during the one child policy era.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

I'm concerned that people are talking like there was only one fascism for the TrumpElon train to emulate. Talking about the one that didn't last long and not all the others where the dictator died in the job decades later. Ignoring US role in many of them.

NIST plans to cut 497 jobs, including 74 postdocs, with most staff from its Chips for America program facing layoffs. 😞 Meanwhile, the future of the AI Safety Institute remains uncertain. #NIST #JobCuts #ChipsForAmerica #AI #TechNews #Innovation #USJobs #AIEthics posivi.com/nist-plans-t...

Russia attacked Ukraine—not the other way around. Let’s be clear: Ukraine is defending its sovereignty against Putin’s aggression. #StandWithUkraine

So.. how long before I can apply for asylum somewhere else in the world.. asking for.. well me.

You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration. Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

I do want to remind people, that 2nd amendment, yeah this kind of shit is why we have it. No Kings.
