Boomers egos are destroying our country. "All but three House Republicans voted for Trump's tariffs. The procedural measure, which preemptively surrenders congressional power to stop Trump's tariffs, passed with all Democrats voting no. Worth noting that this passed by one vote and, get this...

We had to collect 180K signatures to put proposition A on the ballot to increase minimum wage to $13.75 and guarantee sick pay for Missourians. The measure won. Just now, the Missouri House voted to overturn our will. Without signatures…with a vote. They do the bidding of the wealthy.

What a different world we could have.

Follow the money. Big oil and gas have ALWAYS quashed competition.

Well said!

The SecDef is now requiring DoD civilians to comply with the DOGE weekly accomplishments email. - 1 mil employees - 15 min a week - avg GS10 S5 salary of $87k/ year or $42/hr Cost of 250k man hours = over $10.5 mil A WEEK or $550 mil a year. Mass DoD email DOGE can data mine? Priceless.

Why is 1 American life one too many now, but when it was COVID,1.1 million was no biggy?

White people shouldn't fix their mouths to EVER talk about hard work in relation to Black people. That's really the bottom line.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Stop believing that ANYONE is receiving SS illegally. One or two, sure, but a million, no. 10 million? Absolute intentional lies.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Nursing a take that the major Silicon Valley firms can be understood as organized crime syndicates and perform some of the same functions as the old ones used to — money laundering, feeding addictions, skirting regulations, political influence.

TRANS FOLX EXIST, whether you like it or not. No matter how much you try to erase them, they will always exist.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

From my fellow shipmate whom I deployed with:

quite the headline

ALL people have value, whether they're working or not. Children should not have to choose between going to school, working, or eating.

So Trump has issued orders to use Guantanamo as a sort of “camp” to “concentrate” migrants. Is there a name for a camp where a certain population is concentrated?

Hey folks! Trump has announced something he’s hinted at in the past: sending U.S. prisoners abroad to penal colonies. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump... Keep your eyes on this.

The Trump administration has instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing H.I.V. medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

This is all about one thing: reinforcing the idea that Black people have never done anything important. That whites are supreme, and Black folks' accomplishments are irrelevant to the American story. White superiority as meta-narrative

As someone whose life has been saved by a cancer clinical trial, this is heartbreaking.

REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers? TRUMP: Sure REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon? TRUMP: Well, I don't know

The idea of post-truth authoritarian populism is to exclude “the outsiders” while simultaneously (a) expanding the category of “the outsider” and also (b) keeping it vague enough for easy exploitation.

Helpful!

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

As the 47th president took the oath of office, my 9 year old daughter said, "he must have been crossing his fingers or something because he only wants power." She gets it, how did 30% of voters not?

Thankful for these words today from Terry J. Stokes in "Prayers for the People, Things we didn't know we could say to God."
