A work of genius that still holds up nearly 25 years later.

After U.S. and Russian officials met in Saudi Arabia to discuss an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, President Donald Trump made several false and misleading statements about the conflict and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

They always said A.I. would be smarter than us. 🤷🏽‍♂️

One of the best things about me is how affordable I am.

"The Office of Community and Planning Development, within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is slated to lose 84% of its staff, according to a document seen by NPR. That target is the deepest of any office in the agency." The evil of Trusk knows no bounds.

Stand.

Instead of letting people have drugs that keep them healthy, Kennedy's "solution" looks very much like punishing them for perceived personal failures by putting people into labor camps, which he euphemistically calls "wellness farms." #mentalhealth

I know there are millions of decent, patriotic, hard-working red state people who are not OK with the Trusk purges. Not the mentally ill MAGA core, but the heart and soul of Middle America. They are hurting too. They are scared. They are our friends, allies & countrymen & we need to come together. ❤️

The database, created in response to the murder of Georgia Floyd in 2020, was designed to prevent bad police officers from jumping to new agencies and starting over with clean records. Ironically, Trump had been the one to propose this database during his first term in 2020...

A new study published in Scientific Reports reveals a significant and widespread misunderstanding among Americans regarding their fellow citizens’ views on diversity and inclusion. Researchers discovered that people consistently underestimate the extent of support for diversity in the United States.

Here is a look at some of the broad and specific ways federal agencies and employees are being affected by the administrations reductions as of Wednesday.

Behold, a pale horse! 👹

Common signs of autism include trouble with social communication and a fixation on certain routines or topics — Nelson says “people have become my special interest now” — and may go unnoticed during someone’s childhood. #mentalhealth #autism #onthespectrum #AuDHD

What is happening is a full scale Authoritarian takeover and purge of government to cripple it, and the permanent alteration of the American way of life. This could only have happened now when public literacy is at an all-time low and gullibility is at an all-time high. Make America Go Away. (2/2)

If you want to know what Trump is guilty of, just look at what he accuses others of. Under the guise of "rooting out fraud" the Trusk Administration is perpetrating the single greatest fraud on the American public in our history. They do this because their voters are too stupid to understand (1/2)

Donald Trump, a Republican president backed by Republican voters and the Republican party as an institution, is using extralegal means to enact longstanding parts of the Republican agenda and the conservative project ⁠– including, chiefly, the crippling of the federal government.

BREAKING: New video from the Delta plane crash in Toronto shows the full extent to crash.

We need an America, where we recognize that mental health is about more then feeling happy or feeling sad, but is about recognizing the truth that the stress of our systems impacts our people, and creates disease and suffering. That we as society exist in a delicate balance with each other/the world

Trump’s contempt for people with disabilities appears to be rooted in a binary worldview in which the so-called “makers” who build things are to be celebrated, while the so-called “takers” who supposedly leech off society are to be shunned—or removed entirely.

This is quite a thing to find 18 paragraphs down in a story. wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Never thought I'd see the day where authenticity, compassion, empathy, and kindness were considered revolutionary enemies of the state. But I know I'm on the right side of history. And I'm willing to die for it. Are you?

Nazism worked in a country of 80 million people. It won’t work in a country of 335 million. We were shocked in 2016. In 2025. We are pissed.

...one survey found that 60% of likely EV buyers no longer want a Tesla because of Musk’s politics. In Germany... a 59% drop in...sales in January. Tesla sales also fell in France, Sweden, and Norway last month. Some Tesla owners... are either selling their cars or adding apology bumper stickers.

They get mad at attempts to contain racist hate speech and save lives by trying to stop the spread of unhinged lies about a pandemic, or at books that teach actual history and give agency to people who aren't cisgender white men... What a howling pack of sanctimonious charlatans.

The patent unfitness of Trump’s nominees put the senators on the spot. It was the senators, not the obviously disqualified nominees, who had to pass the test. They were not the ones sitting in judgment; they were in Trump’s dock. If Trump could break [them], he could reduce them to being his serfs.

Another member of the 🤡🚗🗄dispenses more delectable genius. How did we get so lucky. 🙄 #mentalhealth

Forever.

Workers all over the country responded with anger and confusion Friday as they grappled with the Trump administration ‘s aggressive effort to shrink the size of the federal workforce by ordering agencies to lay off probationary employees who have yet to qualify for civil service protections.

The billionaire class is ready and willing to strip health care, housing, and disability care from 80 MILLION Americans just so they can keep their 2017 tax cuts permanently. We need to call them what they really are... They are the Psychopath Class.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. confirmed as Trump's health secretary. God help us all. 😵‍💫

The question is: Who locked him in there? 🤔

Raise your hand if you are disgusted by Elon Musk using his four year-old son as a human shield? 🙋‍♀️

Fuck you Google you dickless wimps. 🖕
