🟠’s not just targeting OTHER minorities – he’s targeting ALL OF THEM. It will never be enough. There will always be a bogeyman and you just might be next. It’s is true, the best way to lose your rights is remain silent-even comp as they steal another’s. This story is profoundly disturbing.

"Why El Salvador's Notorious Prisons Are Even Worse For Female Inmates" El Salvador "temporarily" suspended all constitutional rights in 2022. Considering what our admin is doing, it's worth the read to be educated on how the prisoners are treated. You'll have to search the web for the story.

My employer is requesting we provide "inspirational or motivational statements that we use to encourage ourselves. I really want to reply with "I'm fueled with equal parts caffeine, spite, and the knowledge that no one else will do it the right way."

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security. They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

Go ahead, you dumb shit. If it passes, it will be ruled unconstitutional. By a federal judge. Because that's how our government works. Checks and balances doesn't mean lobbyists depositing money into your account, you cowardly idiot.

I have an additional two sources who have shared the same.

Most of the Cabinet and Trump’s senior national security team were coordinating strikes on Yemen in a *signal chat* and nobody noticed they accidentally added a reporter. Really unbelievable shit here. But her emails, right?

Absolute fucking clown show. Hegseth accidentally included a reporter in a text message group announcing strikes in Yemen, including weapons, targets, and timing. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"She would be totally fine without her check. Barbara is not one of those self-important elderly people who need to eat food to survive. She can subsist solely on quartered containers of yogurt and the knowledge that she is fulfilling her patriotic duty."

Elon Musk got $38 BILLION from the US Government. That's the equivalent to $112 for every adult & child in the United States. The USDA has a budget of $500 for emergency food relief. That's less than $2 for every American. But, sure, we can afford Musk's toys but not to keep Americans alive.

Here's our latest on what health agencies are bracing for across HHS as Secy Kennedy and DOGE near decisions on reorg that could be finalized in a week some are on notice for steep cuts (e.g. up to 90% at AHRQ) while others hearing radio silence www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-nih...

Now Musk is calling for prosecutions over “false” leaks — but refuses to say what actually happened behind closed doors. Trump denies war plans were shared. So why did Musk need Pentagon access at all? If there’s nothing to hide, why hide it? The cover-up is looking worse than the breach.

WTF. This is insane. For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.

More than 1/4 of American seniors have no income other than Social Security. www.nrmlaonline.org/2024/11/08/t... For those whose only or primary income is Social Security, not getting a check would be catastrophic. It's only not a big deal for those with other income (including, presumably, his MIL)

Trump’s DOJ is now defying a judge—again. Ex-U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance says top officials could face contempt charges or even jail for stonewalling Judge Boasberg. One more move toward full authoritarian rule… and one step closer to legal consequences.

Alice says it's time to log off for a while and come play.

DOGE has spent the last six weeks on a supposed crusade to audit the government and stop fraud, waste, and abuse. But two federal auditors with years of experience say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like.

Watch who and what they are attacking first.

Kinda feels like this right now

Please do not fall for the completely disingenuous argument being forwarded by RFK that the vax-autism study is necessary to convince the public. This study will be conducted by quacks and the “findings” promoted by charlatans. It will be an Astro-turfed political operation to platform antivaxers.
