NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES 🦋 AND THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DEPORTED WERE NOT CRIMINALS

He nails it.

Guarding a concentration camp isn't the kind of thing most people want to sign up for. Along with a racist effort to purge officers who aren’t white, military recruiting is going to tank and the ensuing national security crisis will be entirely self-inflicted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Interesting… we do not do that. Any other places put restrictions on their PhD admissions? 🧪 www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

When do YOU call it a COUP? A: I already Did B: It has undeniably reached that point C: Close, but not yet

Here’s what Democrats did today (February 21):

Making America Healthier? The administration didn’t allow CDC to open the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) agenda for public comments and has postponed the vaccine policy meeting scheduled for next week.

Trump administration set to purchase $400 million worth of armored Teslas www.npr.org/2025/02/13/g...

Cancer research budgets down 85%, clinical trials on vital HIV and malaria treatments ended overnight, but we did manage to update Google maps. This is what *winning* looks like. 🙄

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

it's true, I just checked, WTF

The deal to spring Eric Adams reveals Trump's real agenda: Make America Corrupt Again. My column for @rollingstone.com ... www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs. And lying about their connection to Project 2025. They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda. And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.

They are who we think they are

Over 100 ICE agents spent 5 hrs in Chicago last week, arresting only 2. In Denver & Aurora, CO, over 400 agents were dispatched for migrant violence linked to Tren de Aragua. After knocking on hundreds of doors, only 1 member was arrested. (NYP, ABC News)

Very unwelcome news! H5N1 genotype D1.1 6 identified in 6 Nevada dairy herds. This is NOT the strain that's been circulating on farms so far. It's the strain that sent a 13yo girl in Canada to ICU, and that killed a man in Louisiana. Very bad time for a public health comms blackout.

I need to report a murder.

@rbreich.bsky.social As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire education department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

"What I see are all the telltale signs of a coup." - Rep. Raskin Tell Congress to pass the "Stop the Steal" bill to prevent Elon Musk from meddling with our payment systems and data here: bit.ly/4gnneKE #ResistTrump

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) blasted Trump's recent proposal for Gaza, calling the president's proposal "insane." "That's ethnic cleansing by another name," he told CNN News Central.

“Musk is reaching too far. And we intend on making sure justice is served.” The head of a federal employees union explains why they’re suing the Trump administration over DOGE’s “unprecedented” privacy violations. Interview ⤵️

“We think it is a bad idea for an organization that is not a church, to say it’s a church in order to avoid transparency and disclosure issues."

"I’m an ex-federal employee. OK? And in order for me to get secret clearances and all those types of things, I had to be vetted. I had to go through certain criteria. But this person comes in and got access to 2.2 million federal employees’ records, and has never been vetted." Read more ⤵️

And on his own platform! 😂

Out of 510,000 NCAA athletes, less than 10 are transgender. They are literally writing an executive order to target less than a hundred people nationwide. Republicans spent over $110 million in anti-trans ads on a made up problem.

In 2023, online sleuths who aided the FBI in cases against hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters identified Pete Marocco and his now-wife as being among the rioters who stormed the Capitol in 2021.

Elon Musk’s effort to control the Treasury Department’s payment system is incredibly dangerous. He and Trump could use sensitive info to punish their enemies — or they could break vital infrastructure.

Perfectly captured.

All those tariffs are going to feed huge sums of $$$ through the US treasury (mostly paid for by US consumers) but I'm willing to bet a lot of that money finds its way to Trump & the new Oligarchs - follow the money

#MedSky: Trump & complicit republicans (and ineffective / inactive / scared dems) have taken away the CDC, WHO, & other important medical resources. This matters for us. #50Marches #50States Please share & participate if you are able. www.reddit.com/r/Quakers/co... www.reddit.com/r/Indiana/co...

I asked Elon’s Grok 2 the question of whether and how you could destroy the country through insane trade wars and hijacking Treasury’s payment system. And I must say, what I got back seems to be a fairly good analysis.

The Trump administration is promising federal employees “a nice vacation” if they resign — but the government might force them to keep working, records show.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.
