ROME (AP) — Vatican says Pope Francis in critical condition, suffered a long asthmatic respiratory crisis in the morning.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

The single most destructive force in American politics in 50 years.

This guy went from showing up to showing his entire ass in one day.

At the next #ElmoMagalomaniac presser, when he appears intoxicated or is wearing sunglasses, he should be asked the following q's: 1 What drugs are you currently taking since it appears that you are under the influence? 2 Are you wearing sunglasses bc of your ketamine use? Be direct. Do your jobs.

One thing is clear in all this, white people cannot accept the fact that THEY fucked up this time and the numbers show it. Now they’re blaming Black people and Black politicians for what’s happening. Know this, just because we’re resting doesn’t mean we don’t fucking see you.

We are in this mess because of Mitch McConnell. Fuck that guy.

2024 Election results.

In Trump world, cruelty against children is the norm

America is not gonna go down quietly.

Stop asking where former Vice President Kamala Harris is, she was right there willing to save us all from impending doom and many people failed her in order to choose doom instead just to see others suffer. Leave her the fuck alone, she owes no one anything.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

Saw a delightful video of a flag waving maga person being arrested.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

@raskin.house.gov gives advice to fired federal workers: "Federal workers need to stay in very close touch with their unions and with the litigation that's going on, because we're wining in almost every case. In more than a dozen cases, there have been TROs and PIs issued against the Trump admin."

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉

"One casualty of the mass firings across federal health agencies are regulators who ensure drugs for pets and livestock are safe and effective." Not even our pets are safe anymore from this Trump Administration. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Resistance is going to be economic. One day, not buying won’t just be a personal choice—it’ll be a statement of power and unity. #MOMSky

Here’s the deal, white Gen X was the first generation that had to deal with a somewhat level playing field in most aspects of life. When they discovered that whiteness would no longer shield their mediocrity they became their parents & grandparents. Sorry if the truth hurts.

TOMORROW (WED): Rallies are being held across the country to protest the funding cuts to science and the illegal firing of federal workers. Please join if you can. We need to show that many people oppose these destructive attacks on science and healthcare. Details: labor4highered.org

Spreading bird flu to own the libs

This paragraph from @washingtonpost.com's reporting on Trump potentially ending free COVID tests is factually incorrect. According to CDC wastewater data, COVID levels are currently HIGH. COVID still causes serious illness and death for too many. People still need free tests!

We are a full on Idiocracy

NYC Mayor Eric Adams debuts his new look.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Trump is a petulant child who uses cruelty as a weapon to harm the most vulnerable of our country because he is cruel and impotent.

At some point we’re going to run out of planes in the sky.

Trump just fired hundreds of employees with the FAA — weeks after the fatal D.C. crash exposed agency understaffing. The union repping the employees called the firings a "hastily made decision" that would increase the workload of a workforce already stretched thin. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

✅ DEI Employer of the Day™ DSW "We believe in diversity, equity, and inclusion [DEI], and call on our associates, customers, and communities to hold us accountable to showing it every day." The NAACP Black Consumer Advisory encourages consumers to 'buy-in' on companies that back their values.

Less than a month since a crash that took 67 lives, Trump is firing hundreds of federal employees who inspect and maintain air traffic control communications, radio and computer systems.  This is extremely dangerous and could have deadly consequences. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

This is absolutely chilling. A glimpse of the totalitarian state to come.

Nick Akerman, an ex-Watergate and SDNY prosecutor, wants to file an amicus brief opposing dismissal of the Eric Adams corruption case—and asking the judge to haul Emil Bove into court and possibly sanction him for "making improper and unethical demands." Doc https://buff.ly/416cCKD
