One of my favorite late night talk show comedians is John Oliver. In this segment, he talks about what's happening with the park rangers, all the dead people receiving SocSec benefits, Hunter Biden's ... well, you know, and most importantly to me, censorship on FB, the one that removed my group.

Americans - Do you want this guy to have access to all the data known by the IRS? (It's probably too late. A member of his youth gang has probably already accessed it.)

I wonder how some of my "friends" who think 🍊 is the greatest president ever feel about what his (unelected) sidekick is up to.

So let's get rid of Pride Month, Black History Month, Martin Luther King's Birthday, Holocaust Days of Remembrance or Juneteenth, to name a few, but have a federal holiday for the 🍊's birthday? www.kron4.com/news/nationa...

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

This is what oligarchy looks like.

The Valentine's Day Massacre

Here we go AGAIN 🤬 The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot, this includes women who changed their name after marriage. We must spread the word to protect our democracy.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

@whipkclark.bsky.social: "If they didn’t stop at veterans programs and cancer research, I guess there is no line [Republicans] consider a red line that they won't cross. This is how countries lose democracies."

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

"[Musk is] already very clearly operating here as an independent actor whose actions the President blesses after he’s found out what’s happened. This is a parallel overlaying of authority over the entire structure of the US government. We’re in dystopian quasi-science fiction territory here."

"A former director of litigation at the Archives, Jason R. Baron: federal law says the Archivist must be appointed 'without regard to political affiliations and solely on the basis of… professional qualifications.' ... [T]he president must notify Congress about why the archivist was dismissed."

"The 19-year-old nicknamed 'Big Balls' who Elon Musk gave access to the Social Security payment system has now also been given a job as a Senior Advisor at the United States State Department. "He has access to sensitive information pertaining to America’s national security." ~Brian Tyler Cohen

Trump has dismissed the director of the Office of Government Ethics. David Huitema, the former director, played a key role in vetting Trump administration appointees for conflicts of interest.

In Germany over 200,000 protestors in Munich gathered against the Musk backed far-right / neo-Nazi AfD ahead of the German election. Thousands chanted "Save Democracy" and "Oppose Nazis" #3E

This is what we need to be watching!

Protest mass deportation (and everything else) Sunday! February 9th @10am 1630 E Chapman Ave Orange, CA See you there ✌️ #3E #orangeca #ocprotests #orangecounty #irvine #tustin #anaheim #protest

If you want a grant for research from the NSF (National Science Foundation), watch your language! Just a few examples of forbidden words: disability, equality, female, indigenous community, minority, prejudice, racism, trauma ... Full list is here:

"Detaining as many as 30,000 non-citizens in Guantánamo Bay is a costly [$13.5 million/bed annually]—and abusive—shift in immigration detention. It imposes a unique expense and threat to immigrants’ rights without any advantage for the U.S. government other than the harm it poses to non-citizens."

What is happening right now with the nomination of Russell Vought to be the Secretary of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)?

The confirmation vote takes place on Feb 6. Senate Democrats will be speaking be speaking ALL NIGHT "to sound the alarm on the chief architect of Project 2025". (See www.democrats.senate.gov/news/)

How can the Republicans not see the scheme of Musk and other billionaires?

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Seeing the events in America over the last few weeks is like watching an alcoholic rapidly heading towards rockbottom while yelling what a great time he's having.

Marco Rubio's new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, ladies and gentlemen.

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward. They can't just wish it away unless we let them.

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.    He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.   Congress must investigate.

Some think it's 🍊 running the show/He's basically the front man for the people who have been planning this for years & are gleefully rubbing their hands because they've found the right stooge who will eventually take the fall/By the time 🍊 is gone everything will be in place for a fascist government

The new “Annual Media Rotation Program” will also evict NPR, NBC News, and Politico, replacing them with The New York Post, One America News Network, Breitbart News Network, and HuffPost News—right-wing publications that will effectively become state media for the Trump regime... :-( ~Anthony Davis

I truly hope this is not going to lead to war. A lot of hatred towards the U.S. can be expected, though. Rubio wanted the job. Let's see how well he can do with a president who's off the wall.

He loves posting his Ls.

Are they seriously going to fall for this?

Well on the way to authoritarianism and dictatorship ...
