Donald Trump calls MSNBC ā€œa threat to democracy.ā€ Then launches into a tirade against Rachel Maddow. Suggests he ā€œshould go up in ratings against her.ā€

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

Wise manā€¦

Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with Ā£10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise Ā£24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

Infuriating! šŸ˜” Donā€™t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my sonā€™s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! šŸ¤¬ And weā€™re not alone!

Krasnov šŸ‘‹

ā€œA former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ā€˜Krasnovā€™.ā€

Leland Dudek, a mid-level employee at the Social Security Admin, shared on LinkedIn that he was put on leave for aiding Elon Muskā€™s DOGE initiative. Days later, tRump swoops in, and suddenly Lelandā€™s the acting commissioner. Nothing like the stench of tRumpā€™s corruption. www.cnn.com/2025/02/22/p...

He nails it.

HAHAHAHAHA. Just pray. Sure thatā€™ll manifest a visa. Oh, How silly of me! We all know that praying only *stops* things. Such as justice for historical rape victims, women having the right to bodily autonomy and kids being safe in churches, it doesnā€™t *create* them.

It feels like people are waking up

Yup. Theyā€™re normalising Nazi salutes. Zero doubt now.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Donald Trump, addressing CPAC: ā€œEverything Biden touched turned to shit.ā€

WaPo Page One: ā€œIf youā€™re going to just yell at me, thatā€™s not going to be an effective town hall,ā€ McCormick said .. ā€œBut weā€™re pissed!ā€ a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

When the stupid reveals itself..once again.. We donā€™t do kings, no matter how hard you try, asshole šŸ–•šŸ» #SheShed

Odd how the turns have tabledā€¦ Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

Itā€™s a cult.

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy ā€œa feastā€ as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

Iā€™m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. Itā€™s time to take the gloves off.

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

. Trump wants control over the USPS to interfere with mail-in votes in the midterms. This is dangerousā€”tampering with the postal service threatens democracy. Be very clear: voter suppression isnā€™t strategy; itā€™s cheating. #FuckTrump #USPS

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. šŸ”„

The Chiefs. US Hockey. Legendary run of backing the losing teams from this administration

I'd like the congratulate the Canadian hockey team on their victory last night over the team fielded by Russia's vassal.

Kemi Badenoch, the political equivalent of deep vein thrombosis.

"The US is opposed to calling Russia the aggressor in a G7 statement on the third anniversary of Moscowā€™s full-scale invasion of Ukraine" America's bad faith approach to Ukraine worsens. By the time Starmer sees Trump next week, the situation will be even more abominable. archive.ph/2025.02.20-2...

Oh, look. Brexit just cost us another Ā£370,000,000! (The Trader Support Service system is only required because it's now MUCH harder to trade goods back and forth between GB and NI. It owes its existence exclusively to Brexit.) www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/00547...

European movement chair, Mike Galsworthy said: ā€œThis is welcome news. We need to start pulling this country out of the no-growth quagmire of Brexit and start giving people hope for a better, brighter future.ā€

Have a great weekend. It could be our last.

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER Trump has suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia. That is not true. We all need to call this out

Honestly, this is an insane thing for a major political party to be running with. Itā€™s mad. Itā€™s by mad people for mad people.

I keep trying to work out why rich white people are so furious they want to destroy their own country: richer than they've ever been, more power than they've ever had. they control the majority media and all I can come up with is that they lost their minds when a black man became President.

šŸ”“ā€˜There Is Nothing ā€˜Naturalā€™ About Donald Trumpā€™s Predatory Exploitation of Ukraineā€™ Trump's attempt to extort Ukraine for its natural resources, while abandoning its fate to Russia, is a return to the worst imperial politics of the past, argues Aleksandar Djokic bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/t...
