Just to be clear, this post earlier is now a crime 👇

I'm no economic genius but I fear today is going to be a bloodbath

Yes, the captain intentionally piloted the ship into a huge iceberg, cracking the vessel like an egg. But the officers insist we'll all greatly benefit from an invigorating midnight swim through Arctic waters.

Not any kind of expert on these things -- but it strikes me that a simultaneous stock market and bond market meltdown is REALLY ominous.

One man should not have the power to crash the world markets- oh wait, he stole that power from Congress. The GOP can stop this and aren't because of some non-existent mandate.

#thomtillis #tedbudd - looking at you since I personally warned you both that this would happen

3 deaths from measles this year in the US. What the actual fuck? This is 2025. RFK jr, djt, & EVERY Senator who voted for his confirmation are responsible. Public health cannot advocate effectively for MMR vaccine safety & effectiveness with the biggest anti vaxxer ever in charge of US health.

Lawful NC votes are one step closer to being thrown out

This headline comes just weeks after Louisiana's Department of Public Health banned vaccine events and ordered staff not to promote vaccination. www.cnn.com/2025/04/02/h...

VFC (Vaccines for Children) has been cancelled- this is pure evil

This keeps getting worse and worse.

US History is divided into eras- What era did 2025 usher in- Democracy Deconstructed? Neo Fascism? What era did we leave behind- The Great American Democracy?

Every single day

Countries that have issued a travel advisory this year warning their citizens about visiting the United States: Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Ireland Netherlands New Zealand United Kingdom

My local health department was hit by fed funding rescissions. For 2 years we have struggled to staff our Tuberculosis clinic. Our HD has been using 2 awesome temp nurses to staff this clinic. Last night, via text, we learned that funding for these 2 nurses was rescinded effective immediately.

Ok, Trumpers, are either of these deal killers for you? A National SECURITY Advisor adding a journalist to a Signal chat with the Secretary of Defense & top level administration officials? The Secretary of Defense sharing classified information on the Signal chat (to a journalist)? Serious question

Circling back on this…

This is insane.

2025- the year that a narcissist felon and billionaire Nazi join forces to set fire to the US Constitution while the cowardly gop defend their actions and cheer them on.

You know what I want? What I really, really want? I'll tell what I want- what I really, really want-- To return to 11/4/24 with the collective political knowledge we have today. Signed, An American who knows America was greater, healthier, kinder, more free before djt won his 2nd term

djt is either mentally incapable of rational thought or dangerously delusional. He truly believes that judges should not rule against him. He endorses ridiculous conspiracy theories that the fired federal employees don't really exist. And now he doesn't have to abide by verbal judicial orders.

Reminiscent of Nero, djt is literally playing golf while the American constitution burns...ignoring judicial orders shows blatant disregard for our system of checks and balances. These are dangerous times.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

As wasteful as it gets in the name of appeasing rfk jr's anti-vax base

I thought the djt admin was cutting fraud and waste. Interesting because rfk jr is a fraud and him making the CDC look into any link between vaccines & autism is waste- this has already been widely researched. And having CDC announce it during a growing measles outbreak is unforgivable.

I did some quick research- if my research is correct , the last time the US had two measles deaths in one year was 1992. We have had two measles deaths within the last month. 2025 is embracing rfk jr with open arms.

I live in NC where the NC Supreme Court winner (Riggs) still hasn't been certified- 4 months after election day. It is exhausting- every day brings a new level of hell. www.foxcarolina.com/2025/03/06/n...

Science has given us great antiviral medication. For influenza, you can take Tamiflu. For COVID, you can take Paxlovid. But we don't have an antiviral medicine that treats measles. Why is that? Because measles was eradicated in the United States in 2000. Science gave us a vaccine to prevent measles.

djt told Greenland that they were going to become part of the US by one way or the other

China responds to Trump's trade war

JUST IN: President Donald Trump is ordering a pause on military aid to Ukraine after a hostile Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. cnn.it/3XP3Ekf

What will it actually take for MAGA to see that democracy is crumbling? When those speaking out are arrested and thrown in jail without cause? When the Supreme Court rules against djt and he doesn't comply? When he dissolves Congress & declares himself king?

Is this real life or some twisted VR game? Since 11/5, not a day has gone by without a new sense of dread for my country. US elected an actual felon, DOGE shredding govt agencies, anti-vaxxer confirmed for DHHS, the US has unofficially joined the Axis of Evil (UN resolution+ Oval Office disgrace).

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Does this make djt a coyote? Accepting money in return for getting people into our "closed" borders?

Today is 2/20/25. One month in. If any other president was acting this recklessly, we would be UNITED in calling them out. Mistakenly firing federal workers (nuclear agency & USDA) & intentionally dismissing FAA employees before/after the 1st major aviation disaster in years. He should be "fired".

Anyone else seriously considering not even doing their taxes this year? I don't support kings or dictators.
