A MUST-SEEā€¼ļø The PayPal Mafiaā€”Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Bothaā€”have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. ā€¢ Elon Musk ā€“ Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. šŸ§µ

Yep.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

This well-referenced page includes personal stories from those terminated, with links to share your story. Congressman Ro Khanna and the House Science Committee are surveying the impact of these cuts.

1/ "The Trump administration has blocked key parts of the federal governmentā€™s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the countryā€™s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judgeā€™s order to release grant money."

There's a common path in the development of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, regardless of whether they are overseen by Catholic Inquisitors, Protestant enforcers, monarchists, fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists .... First they eliminate words. Then they eliminate people.

Speech is now free!

Dƶpfner has been sliding towards the far right for a while now. Still, this is astonishing.

Typical Trump lie: He said Zelenskyā€™s approval rating was 4% when in fact it hovers around 57%, far higher than Trumpā€™s has ever reached. Another: He called Ukraineā€™s democratically elected leader a ā€œdictator.ā€ Yet another: He blamed Ukraine for Russiaā€™s military invasion of its sovereign territory

DHS has removed manual guidance barring investigations solely based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This is a prerequisite to targeting the LGBTQ community with criminal investigations solely based on being LGBTQ. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

has anyone pointed out that Donald Trump said Obama was from Africa so couldn't be president, only to years later basically make an African president

Illinois Governor Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov is my choice to head our much needed ā€œShadow Governmentā€.

JUST IN: A 9th Circuit appeals court panel has denied the Trump administrationā€™s bid for emergency relief from the injunction blocking President Trumpā€™s birthright citizenship executive order.

This is a very interesting and important šŸ§µ

It'd be a shame if this got reposted over and over again ...

DOGE has their targets now set on the SEC, the agency that has sued Musk for multiple SEC violations related to manipulating Twitter & Tesla stock prices & failing to disclose a large purchase of Twitter stock, and as a result, underpaid investors $150m. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

ā€œSSA has comprehensive medical records of people who have applied for disability benefits,ā€ said Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works. ā€œIt has our bank information, our earnings records, the names and ages of our children, and much more.ā€

You get what you vote for.

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

ā€œAgreement with Trumpā€™s policy aims need not mean agreement with his power grab. But the most powerful branch of government ā€” the branch with the power to check the others ā€” is supine. It . . . will not act to protect its power. This is a nonplayer Congress.ā€ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/o...

Hypocrisy revealed: Rupert Lowe, champion of ā€˜naturalā€™ food, is investor in lab-grown bacteria protein šŸ§µ

The Trump coin playbook

Muskā€™s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

Project 2025 as planned

There are layers and layers and layers to this Adams-Trump thing. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/n...

Releasing critical information about a new human H5N1 case on a Friday night, especially on Valentineā€™s Day, is a clear attempt to bury the news. Theyā€™re counting on people being too distracted to notice. But we do.

Youā€™d think that the agencyā€™s nameā€”ā€œNational Nuclear Security Administrationā€ā€”might have led someone to at least ask, ā€œHey, what do these guys do?ā€

Why are ordinary Americans paying more taxes than companies that are earning billions? I'll tell you why: Republicans, that's why.

šŸ“ŒThere has not been a president in my lifetime who has purposefully inflicted pain on people like this one. He is completely dead inside.

ā€˜Free speechā€™ šŸ™ƒ

JD Vance insulted our allies, emboldened our enemies, and humiliated the United States on the world stage. Another nail in the coffin for American leadership under team Trump.

Can this be scripted???

If you support any of this, youā€™re honestly just a terrible person. Peopleā€™s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people dieā€”yet some are celebrating.

With everything going on, Trump taking us out of the Human Rights Council is not getting the attention it deserves. Take a few minutes and check out this must read piece by my friend @ambmicheletaylor.bsky.social on the topic.

Say what you want about the VA (and most criticism has been wrongly aimed at VA instead of Congress) ā€¦ But no one has ever said the problem with the VA is too many people work there. This is inexcusable. news.va.gov/press-room/v...

A reminder that @fetterman.senate.gov is the only democrat in the senate who voted for this
