Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms and businesses. U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

This is terrible. The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house. Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

That time arrived a long while ago. The question now is whether Democratic leaders fully understand and will act accordingly.

Fox News is reporting this and irony may never recover.

It took all of *one week* before top Republican donors pivoted to the real prize of Trump’s election: the prospect of extending Trump’s tax breaks for the ultrawealthy. It was never about lowering prices. It was always about lining the pockets of Trump’s donors.

This is important. WATCH IT. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2FjTPnE/

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.

NEW: The Chairperson for the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency has sent a letter to the OPP advising they consult White House Counsel on the legality of ousting 17 inspectors general. 👀

My theme for the next four years youtu.be/4I0krF9R00Q?...

Trump has been busy, but so has the @aclu.org!

Brilliant.

Please give a listen to Brian Sicknick's brother Craig and show your support to him and his family. They deserve so much better @jan6risingvoice.bsky.social youtu.be/X4X6Y8A78u4?...

The short term impact is likely to be modest, but this does gives a good sense of direction. #RadioFreeAmerica www.drugs.com/news/trump-e...

Censorship has begun on TT. I tried to search for videos regarding vaginal health and received a warning about “community guidelines”

Do I trust TT now? No. However there is still information to be had from there. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2ReUfY6/

Um. What did I just watch?

MELANIA TO STYLIST: "I vant to look like Spy from 'Mad' magazines."

Martin Luther King Jr. said that “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.” We are in a time of challenge. The question for every leader, every citizen is where do you stand?

In fairness the resulting fire and explosion might have set off the sprinklers.

If you’re paying attention to what’s going on, the people on the TT app are now being censored. You are prohibited from searching the term “rigged election”. Yes, I tried it. I was just observing a live that was abruptly shut down. It was not friendly to the incoming administration. 1/?

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property. With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger. That’s why I’m posting it today.

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

✅ NEW by me: Apple and Costco are not alone in taking a strong stand on diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI). The list of corporate giants pushing back on the 'anti-woke' #DEI backlash is growing in 2025. www.thequeenzone.com/dei-isnt-dyi... via @thequeenzone.bsky.social

I saw something on threads I thought should be repeated EVERYWHERE. Keep being weird. They can piss off if they don’t like it or understand it. Your weird isn’t for them and there’s nothing wrong with you.
