Maine is brat!

I don’t share Marriott’s optimism. “…five Texas counties that make up one of the least vaccinated areas in the U.S. are gripped by a measles outbreak that has infected at least 58 people and hospitalized 13. It may be, Marriot writes, that “[t]he paradise of fools is coming to an end.”

Trump’s economic agenda is the same as it ever was: shift the tax burden away from the well-off and toward the poor and middle class — while also consolidating his power.

gofund.me/e8dd5e7c We invited these people here and now trump has cut the aid WE PROMISED them.

The sun now rises on Leonard Peltier, among his people at last.

During the Vietnam “war” at the nadir of the USA’s worldwide popularity, travelers like me sewed maple leafs to their backpacks. Where can I get maple leaf?

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

There are three things you can watch forever: 1. How water flows. 2. How fire burns. 3. How a Russian TOS "Solntsepek" explodes, costing **around $1.5 million**. The price of satisfaction? Priceless. 😊

One old man, who promised to end the war in 24 hours called another old man, who promised to take Kyiv in 3 days. Don’t worry, it’s not the first time we break bad plans with our Ukrainian strength, resilience and unity. #Trump #putin #Ukraine #russia

US State Secretary Rubio arrived today in Saudi Arabia, to see if Russia-Ukraine war can be settled by a bone saw.

“Mr. Musk received an ethics training this week, the official said, and Mr. Musk’s staff as part of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency is in the process of receiving their own training, said the White House official,” who….then broke into hysterical laughter.

US immigration is gaming Google to create a mirage of mass deportations

Notice the attacks are largely on women who are just doing their jobs with excellence & accuracy. Having been subject to this nonsense — @profgalloway.com and I are “mean, cruel and deceitful” apparently — it’s meant to be chilling but as the opposite effect on us all www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

This says it all

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

I like HCR, but now I’m ending my subscription. “One of the internet’s top platforms for independent writing …won’t block Nazis from its services, a decision that allows them and other extremists to sell subscriptions and build an online audience.” I’m out.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

Sen. Alsobrooks asked about his claim in a 2021 appearance that: "We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to whites because their immune system is better than ours." Same old racist tropes that often prevent Blacks from receiving appropriate pain medication.

Sean Duffy, formerly a reality TV star and Wisconsin congressman, was confirmed as the new transportation secretary on Tuesday. “It is not standard to have aircraft collide. I want to be clear on that….” Well Sean, I feel better now.

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

Perhaps it is worth saying that the difference between $5M and $500B is $500B.
