Did Donald Trump spend the last month tanking the stock market with harsh rhetoric and actions so that he and his friends could buy on the trough and cash in when he "softens his tone"? Asking for a friend.

Why has there been so little outrage to news that the State Department plans to dismantle nearly ALL operations in Africa? None of planned four regional bureaus in a draft executive order would include the continent of Africa, according to news reports. apple.news/AvZ4mjatjSgm...

On Friday, as US aid workers were helping earthquake victims in Myanmar, they were told they were fired. The US government is evil. I am heartsick. Pray for America.

WHAT TRUMP SAID: I want US manufacturing to come roaring back. WHAT TRUMP DID: Prompt the cancellation of nearly $8 billion in US-based clean energy manufacturing projects. Make America Poor and Polluted Again.

Reading the news r e a l s l o w: The chair of the Federal Communications Commission says he will oppose mergers of communications companies that act to advance the careers and economic growth of non-White people and businesses. But if you are anti-diversity, he’ll grease the wheels for you.

Is this the best you have @washingtonpost.com? Trump has clear (albeit undeclared) emotional and mental defects, and yet the problem with his decision-making is that "he's not explaining it very well?" REALLY? You're putting THAT on the front of your website as NEWS? @erikwemple.bsky.social

DON'T SAY GAY: The Trump push to erase diversity from the Defense Department reportedly has targeted for deletion from military websites images of the plane the US used to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan—the "Enola Gay." Yes, the Trump team is that dumb. apnews.com/article/dei-...

The evisceration of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by the principal author of Project 2025 means that Capital One is free once again to fleece its consumers. What’s in your wallet? www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Reading a list of aid projects that are being killed by Trump/Musk USAID shutdown makes plain how deeply racist this all is. This is all about an apartheid-bred white South African’s deep hatred of Black Africans, and Trump’s willingness to be complicit.

This flu season the Centers for Disease Control reports 19,000 people have DIED from the flu. HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy today CANCELED this year's flu vaccine selection process. That risks killing tens of thousands more people next flu season. We must stop this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Donald Trump, you are not our king, and we are not your subjects. Keep your narcissistic, plutocratic and deranged hands off the District of Columbia.

According to @4taxfairness.bsky.social a House Trumpublican plan would shift more than $1 trillion in food and health care funding for low-income people into funding tax cuts for overstuffed billionaires. This is sinful.

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

This man doesn 't even bother to hide the hypocritical self-dealing: While pillaging through the federal government to allegedly "cut wasteful spending," he's lined up to get a $400 million government contract for "armored Teslas." Stop Musk Now. www.thedailybeast.com/musks-tesla-...

DID YOU KNOW? One of the executive orders that Trump has signed eliminates an office called the Office of Federal Contract Compliance. It happened to be one of the agencies that regulated—and had a pending enforcement action against—Tesla. Another way Musk gets what he paid for.

Proof that Trump’s anti-immigration policies are textbook racism: the executive order he signed Friday to allow White South Africans to seek asylum in the United States while he has closed the door to Black, Brown and Yellow asylum seekers from around the world. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-o...

This was posted on the White House website last week. So we're all good with flight safety at airports like Reagan National, right? And just wait until we get rid of all of those "woke" air traffic controllers through federal employee buyouts. Imagine the safety.

What Robby Starbuck and the anti-DEI crowd is trying to kill is the success small Black entrepreneurs have had in getting onto shelves historically placed out of their reach. We can’t let them succeed. wapo.st/4ghmk2c

#CBSNews Mornings did a whole 7 minutes of their newscast as a paid Metamucil commercial. You could easily miss the disclosure. There is a lot of shilling on morning TV, but this feels like a crossed line.

Whether you believe intersex people are 1.7% of the population or .01%, these are real people who cannot and must not be erased by an executive order.

The Trump White House has frozen most federal spending, The Washington Post confirms, to root out what it calls "'wokeness' and the weaponization of government" and to stop "the use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies."

THIS IS ELON MUSK speaking at an East German right-wing party campaign event: “It's good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything.” Call this what it is: White supremacy. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

STOP BUYING TESLAS. Elon Musk crossed the line long ago with his anti-democratic and racist behavior, but his signing on to Alex Jones' latest lunacy that the Los Angeles fires are a "globalist plot" to trigger "total collapse" of the US is a whole new level of vile.

Amazon, where Jeff Bezos is executive chairman, is gving $1 million to the Trump inaugural fund. It is totally fair editorially for cartoonist Ann Telnaes to call Bezos and other oligarchs out on that—even at a newspaper that Jeff Bezos owns that pays her salary. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...
