A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Unreal.

Trump opponents use President's Day to protest his policies across the country: Opponents of President Trump are using the President’s Day holiday to protest his policies, with demonstrations taking place in cities across the country.  Protesters rallied on Feb. 17 to declare "No Kings Day,"…

This man is brilliant. I wish he was our president.

Canada is pissed... Can you blame them?

Our insurance company just wrote to us that the life saving medication our 9-year-old daughter needs to live is rejected because they decided—CONTRARY TO HER DOCTOR—that it is "Not Medically Necessary." Her meds costs ~$200K/year. Insurance industry raked in $88 BILLION in profits last year. 1/2

Zelenskyy: "I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine. Never."

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Utah's Republican Gov. Spencer Cox has enacted a new law described by experts as one of the most extreme anti-labor measures in the country. A bill banning teachers, firefighters and police from collective bargaining. share.newsbreak.com/bjcllfl5?s=i16

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Remember how they said they were going after criminals? That was funny.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Holy. Fuck.

‘No to ethnic cleansing’: over 350 rabbis sign US ad assailing Trump’s Gaza plan. Jewish creatives and activists also sign New York Times ad after Trump’s proposal to ‘take over Gaza’. Incredible unity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Love it.😄🤣😄

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

WOW! Cory Booker isn't holding back! "There can be no bystanders in this fight. It is time that we understand the only thing necessary for wrong to triumph is for right to do nothing, for right to be silent."

💥 Jamie Raskin says he’s contemplating a class action suit against Musk and Trump, on behalf of all Americans! Yes, please and thank you Senator Raskin!

I really like that we have already made the Fentanyl Czar a musical. #CanadaFirst #TrumpIsADick

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

Mass protests at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City. “Every human has rights” “women’s rights are human rights.” #3E #USprotests #EndImpunity #ICE #WomensRights ( 📷 @reedaroundtheworld.bsky.social )

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

Senator Murphy lays out exactly what is on the line. " There was a promise made to finance this tax cut with two trillion dollars of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid, poor kids, poor families, Medicare, seniors in this country." #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

Don’t worry, the reality tv show star Secretary of Hotubsexportation is handing the FAA’s aviation systems over to the exploding penis rocket/car imploding ketamine king and his merry band of unripened incels. This is fine. Everything is fine.

Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed. Look at all the good people. And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.

One of the most important websites in America right now.

NEW: A 25-year-old who's worked for Elon Musk companies now has direct control over a Treasury system disbursements from which amount to a fifth of the US economy. He does not, our sources say, have "read only" access, but high-level admin privileges on a mainframe housing all the code.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
