Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

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

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Visit me in the camps

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

huh, i wonder what this is about www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit. The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

I’d like to see Democrats find as many of these people as they can and try to help them directly. Then bring them to the U.S. to speak publicly about how Musk and Trump left them sick, mutilated, or in mortal danger.

Kamala Harris was not planning an ethnic cleansing to pave the way for golf course courses… Both sides were never the same.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

A horrific story: A 22-year-old died from an asthma attack after his inhaler jumped from $66 to $539—out of reach when his insurance, a UnitedHealth Group subsidiary, stopped covering it. He struggled to breathe for five days before collapsing. The cruelty of our healthcare system knows no bounds.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

Elon Musk, who has not been elected or officially appointed to any office, successfully pushed the FAA Administrator to resign 9 days ago.

We are about to understand just how many aspects of American life were held together was scissors and duct tape and what happens when you give the intellectual equivalent of a drunk toddler a mallet to smash through it all with www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

Calls and text messages have flooded me in the last 72 hours from friends and colleagues in Sierra Leone and elsewhere: Are my meds going to be cut off? Am I going to die? I don't know what to tell them. I don't know what to tell anyone. Hope is my whole jam, but I feel very distant from it.

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

It’s spelled “Colombia”

They shall henceforth be referred to as swasticars by me too. 😂

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”
