Ashley St Clair said she was told to keep Elon Musk’s baby a secret, even from his own mother, Maye Musk.

What’s at stake in usurping the Constitution? The destruction of America’s unity. The destruction of Justice. The murdering of domestic stability. The sabotage of vital existential welfare that relives life’s suffering. The tragic loss of Freedom for ourselves and our children.

I'm a thinker, not a fame seeker. I'm a progressive, or what is more, a radical Humanist. I don't pay attention to titles, I pay attention to intellectual substance. And though I love theory, I recognize its abstract limits. Knowledge, as privilege, means social responsibility.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending. The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs. Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It's reverse Robin Hood.

This is really not good: “Three local teenagers have died from the flu as of Thursday, none of whom were vaccinated, according to San Diego County.” Vaccines work & they save lives fox5sandiego.com/news/health/...

From ProMED: “pediatric neurologists…have noted…[an apparent] sharp increase in influenza A-associated acute necrotizing encephalitis (ANE) cases during the current influenza season…associated with both seasonal influenza A subtypes (H1 and H3). The morbidity and mortality of ANE is high.”

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Thoughts and prayers.

The collective actions of people generate Elon Musk’s wealth, and it is also the collective actions of people that can lead to his downfall. Therefore, any necessary action must be undertaken collectively.

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Their aim is nothing short of a new Dark Ages. Anti-science, anti-education, anti-democracy, in favor of needless human suffering. NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

NIH has cut billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Choose empathy. Read.

Many of them voted for him. And now they can't take their votes back. So he doesn't need them anymore. When Trump doesn't need you anymore, he throws you into the garbage or under the bus. He will promise you anything until he gets what he wants and then he discards you. Remember this.

As we endure these unprecedented assaults on our institutions and Democracy by Felon47 please take these wise words from James Baldwin to heart! We are the #Opposition let’s make their inhumanity our sole focus. Call it out every damn day!!
