We are arms dealers to terrorists.

My feelings exactly

"This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

You wanted a reality show host as a president, well now you’re on Survivor.

Remember when you were in school and you read "The Diary of Anne Frank" and you thought of all the things you would have done to stop the Nazis? Do those things now.

A range of proposals, including a menu of spending cuts that House Republicans are reportedly considering, would take away or reduce health coverage, help buying groceries, and other critical assistance from people in rural communities. www.cbpp.org/research/fed...

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Hello friends that believe in the 200+ year “experiment” in democracy (Hamilton reference). Feeling a little sickened and scared that the meta-verse I used to like has actually done this on their platform. Finally did a big ass delete.

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...

Working class Americans have a significantly shorter lifespan than people who are wealthy. Why? Economic stress can have a major impact upon your body, your mind & how long you live. I’d love to hear from you: How has stress affected your heath? outreach.senate.gov/iqextranet/E...

Why doesn't DJT just watch the super bowl on TV just like he did the J6 riot/attack?

Hope Friday is treating you well

Definition of irony? The guy Trump put in charge of shrinking government subsidies is the largest government subsidy recipient in the world.

The world's richest man is taking food and medicine from the world's poorest children www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Hurricane Helene devastated western NC - we are still recovering, and will be for years to come. Because we knew it was coming, schools and many businesses were closed, leaving roads clear so rescuers could do their jobs. Imagine how many more lives would have been lost without prior warning.

20+ years of listening to Green Day. And isn’t it wild that “American Idiot” still resonates? Just sayin’

Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. Today, I introduced legislation with Sen. Hawley to do just that. We cannot continue to allow big banks to rip-off Americans by charging outrageously high credit card interest rates of 25 or 30%. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/b...

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

Anyone want a reunion of Prophets of Rage? 🎵🎤

Always remember, call out, & reject that which lies just beneath the thinnest veil. Deny refuge for coded racist language. Call them out. Decency>”Civility”(enabling silence)

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Vermonters & Americans need lower electric bills. I'm outraged that Trump’s EPA put an illegal hold on funding Solar for All, which could lower electric bills for working families by 80% through the installation of solar panels on rooftops. The funding freeze must be rescinded.

Tom Morello was right. And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era. It is time to organize. Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us. #ResistForRealThisTIme

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy. Or in prison. Not the Secretary of Defense.

Well. Just saying.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

We are now living through the part in the history books where school kids ask, “why didn’t anyone do something about it then?”
