Nothing screams law and order like deleting a database of bad cops. Once again, FUCK Convicted Felon Donald Trump. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

"MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is." www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Trump has signed an executive order asserting that only the President and the Attorney General are authorized to speak on "what the law is."

Why I am fine with Eat the Rich: Jeff Bezos announcing that he's marrying his next wife, Lauren Sanchez, in a lavish $600m ceremony. They live in Florida. $600m would cover 2 years of FL k-12 free lunch programs. Last year the state discontinued the office that helped schools file for free lunches.

Move your ebook files to a folder in your computer before Amz removes the ability on Feb 26. They can kill the license, but those files are yours. After that, probably find other places to get ebooks.

Trump & Musk don't care if you're safe on the job. Assuming you still have a job.

“Top US Election Security Watchdog Forced to Stop Election Security Work The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has frozen efforts to aid states in securing elections, according to an internal memo viewed by WIRED.” www.wired.com/story/cisa-e...

🚨🚨🚨 Musk and Trump fired 1000 VA staff, including staff working the Veterans Crisis Line. That’s confirmed. Musk and Trump are firing Veterans across federal agencies. That’s confirmed. NOW is the time to make some noise. NOW is the time to stand firm. Make every day a living hell for them.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

These are Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division soldiers escorting the Little Rock Nine in 1957. Fort Campbell is erasing *its own* history.

Germany's Left Party has a new goal of cutting the wealth of billionaires in half within a decade. Ultimately, they "believe there should not be any billionaires." They aim to implement a wealth tax and raise inheritance and income taxes on the rich. www.dw.com/en/germanys-...

I grew up in rural WI and know how much pride farmers there have in helping feed people around the world. I also served as a US intel officer and saw how food insecurity drives conflict and extremism. Thanks to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal for running my op-ed.

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

The white-moderate of the so-called United States is really more afraid of “Communism” and “Anarchy” than they are of Fascism. So much so, they must operate under a lense that everything they don’t like under Fascism is “Communist Dictatorship” or “Lawless Anarchy.” Your Democracy did this.

The Trump administration has just announced that all college financial aid programs, scholarships, prizes, housing, and graduation ceremonies that help Black or Latino students are now considered to be illegal. The Education Department accuses colleges of discriminating against white students.

This is fascism.

We are living through a coup in service of crypto-techno-fascist oligarchs. They've converted the crypyto part to saying the quiet part out loud and talking about blockchain, doge indeed. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

For those who think (like me) that the October 7th 'massacre' was a set-up, the following piece is interesting. Israel knew in advance what was going to happen, yet they licensed a music festival to begin, outside Gaza, on the day of the attack and then.... asawinstanley.substack.com/p/army-was-o...

i’m starting to see a pattern in what trump is trying to accomplish by attempting to deport haitian migrants that came here legally

Musk benefits from Trump's presidency in more ways than one. From squashing investigations into exploiting BILLIONS of workers to intimidating political leaders, this partnership is dangerous.

Many of the migrants transferred to Guantanamo are classified as “low risk,” and include asylum applicants from ICE facilities at the border, not “the worst of the worst” as Kristi Noem’s false narrative claims.

No American leader has ever pledged loyalty to a foreign dictator — until now… hartmannreport.com/p/bowing-to-...

Curious where all those constitutionalists are now with all this executive overreach. Forgiving debt was a bridge too far, but hey, let’s eliminate entire agencies in violation of the law and the three branches, and they’re OK with that. Interesting.

NPS [Feb 12] -- Natl Park Service scrubs "TQ+" from Stonewall National LGBTQ+ Monument in Christopher Park & the accompanying text. Monument to a riot launched by trans women of color like Sylvia Rivera & Marsha P Johnson reads "LGB." [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬] [HT @jenniolsonsf.bsky.social‬]

Here’s a graphic I found that illustrates the point… Musk targeting these agencies is no accident.
