Maine Governor Janet Mills wins today’s Profiles in Courage Award for standing up to FOTUS... Bravo ~

Nice going DJT administration ~ The vaccine for Avian Flu H5N1 requires the inactive virus to be grown in fertilized chicken eggs, and as we speak, we don't have enough eggs to produce this vaccine on a large enough scale in case of a pandemic. 1/2

Do not obey in advance ~
 “Tyranny requires your fear, and your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, and do not let the tragic spirit of despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.” ~ Gov. JB Pritzker

The House GOP Budget proposal cuts $3,298,000,000,000 in spending. At the same time, it wants to raise the debt limit by up to $4,000,000,000,000. It’s no wonder that Trump's approval rating continues its trend ⬇️ January 20-21 47% January 24-26 45% Now 44% Buyers remorse yet, anyone?!?

I agree with Timothy Snyder: what Trump is doing to Ukraine is morally disgusting ~ “Ukraine was invaded by Russia in violation of every fundamental principle of international law. The Ukrainians have resisted far better and far longer than anyone would have expected or had a right to expect. 1/2

Elon Musk is now inside Social Security ~ “Musk's specialty when he takes over agencies of the government is to stop payments. So 71 million people who receive Social Security payments every month for the 1st time in history can no longer be sure if the next payment is coming." ~ Lawrence O’Donnell

Anne Applebaum exposes the method to Elon’s madness ~ “DOGE has attacked at least 11 federal agencies that were embroiled in regulatory fights with Musk’s companies or were investigating them for potential violations of laws on workplace safety, workers’ rights, and consumer protection.”

Congratulations Mikey Madison... I was rooting for her ~ #BAFTA

I love how Mary McLeod Bethune calls out Eleanor Roosevelt, in “The First Ladies” by Marie Benedict & Victoria Christopher Murray, for assuming that a single white woman knows what's best for the entire Black community. Mary’s voice remains a powerful teaching moment for us all ~ #BlackHistoryMonth

Are we watching the establishment of the next colonial empires? “The Trump administration won't stand up to China any more than it does to Russia. Trump and Musk see themselves profitably dividing up the world with Putin and Xi.” ~ Garry Kasparov
