Trump to shut down all 8,000 EV charging ports at federal govt buildings

The Carter Library was told that they needed approval from the Trump administration for any such events. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

Now our universities are being affected. American leadership in higher studies will be compromised. 🧪 #AcademicSky #PhdSky

That’s quite an eye opening statement by Putin's presidential aide, Nikolay Patrushev!

So many important research programs, including Alzheimer’s research, will suffer. And so many career researchers will be kneecapped.

Hey DOGE here's a great way to save tens of billions of $$$ each year, get rid of oil industry subsidies (they're making trillions why should we be subsidizing them) and harmful fisheries subsidies. Now that would be great cost cutting. 🧪🐟🌍

Oh, I love your husband, Steve Benson! He is so smart and such a talented person, and his cartoons have been so insightful!

A beautiful poem and a nice analysis by A. O. Scott (gift article): “a poem about patience, about self-control, about the need to conserve your energy and constrain your desire.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Now we will be living in less safe buildings. FEMA backtracks on stronger building codes for disasters www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n...

Far right people like Lara Logan and Jack Posobiec are surfacing at the White House and other administration events. Far-right media gets center stage in Trump White House www.npr.org/2025/02/20/g...

Great erudite scolding by Judge Reyes!

Excellent investigative work!

The Washington Post pointed out that JD Vance’s speech in Munich was very similar to the one given by Putin years ago. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short. She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family. Stop dehumanizing immigrants. That is not America.

Who will benefit with the privatization of the USPS? Musk & Tesla? DeJoy getting a subcontract?

Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is running for Governor of New Mexico. She would be the first Native American woman Governor in U.S. History. REPOST if you support Deb Haaland as she runs to make history!

Despicable cruelty!

Some of the most shameful comments uttered by a president in my lifetime. Trump is siding with the aggressor, blaming the victim. In the Kremlin they must be jumping for joy. I’d like to hope Republicans, who used to believe in resisting tyranny, would disavow the things Trump is saying & doing.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war!!! He said: “Today I heard, ‘Oh, we weren’t invited’. Well, you’ve been there for three years. You should have ended it three years [ago] – you should have never started it. You could have made a deal.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

They would rather destroy all these Covid test kits costing 1/2 billion dollars than shipping them out to people. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Julianne Moore is in 'great shock' after the Trump administration bans her book | The Mary Sue www.themarysue.com/julianne-moo...

With access to tax records and bank data they will also threaten Republicans and military people with blackmail should they show any sign of disobedience or independence.

Shocking! Muskrat will now have access to sensitive taxpayer data. Blackmail next? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/b...

So cute how the Panda uses it’s tail!

So, Trump’s plan is to give Putin all the Ukrainian land that he has taken and for the U.S. to take ownership of 50% of Ukraine's critical minerals! Zelenskiy says draft US minerals deal 'does not protect' Ukraine - www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

Stephen Bannon: “[The Kennedy Center] is the high church of the secular, atheist administrative state that runs the imperial capitol.” He wants a performance by the January 6 Prison Choir. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Are they crazy? Decimating the EIS will endanger our lives. This preeminent program, has been training epidemiologists since 1951 and is an envy of the world.

JD Vance scolded a Munich audience, saying Europe was failing to uphold democratic values. He signaled support for far-right parties, including AfD, which Russia has backed. He said nothing about Trump’s talk with Putin to end the Ukraine war. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Question is, is Trump appeasing Russia or is there something more sinister going on here?

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Good explanation with visuals.

For years, officials in the Czech Republic had pushed a dam project to protect a river south of Prague, and the critically endangered species living in it. But the project stalled. In the meantime, the beavers of Prague simply built dams themselves, saving the government some 1.2 million euros.

So cute!

Gutting the The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency was in the Project 2025 playbook by the Heritage Foundation.

He can’t resist exploiting everyone at every turn.

I am not on X; this article exposes the depth of racist and fascist views of Musk.
