You cut me and I'll bleed liberal-blue. I love tech (got a doctorate degree in technology and was a college professor for decades). I'll follow you if you follow me. We may learn a lot from each other!

Chaos. Crisis. Pandemonium. Unreal. Un-American.

Federal employees do important work, it turns out. Join the #SaveOurServices Day of Action tomorrow to remind the country.

This is difficult to watch. This Quisling is undoing the work of millions, over 80+ years and this Ignorant Ass Clown is Throwing It All Away. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

The risk of the 2024 YR4 asteroid hitting Earth has almost doubled since January from 1.2% to 2.3%. It’s estimated to happen at 2.02pm on 22 December 2032. Honestly, the way things are going right now, I increasingly don’t care. ☄️

Why?! 👇

Plus, some of these folks are just too damn old to be still doing this.

Lol tell her to go all in. She’s even dumber than I previously thought.

Hmmm. Now, let's think about it...

(Last of 9) Inflation has not begun to go away, but it was sold as a "very easy fix." The collective IQ in America is subterranean. Someone told me that what is happening is "glorious." Makes me sick.

(8 of many) A craft brewer up north claims that tariffs on aluminum will price their beer out of the market. The war that was supposed to be over on day one is still going strong. Bringing down the price of eggs is all of a sudden "a difficult/unattainable" matter, says 47.

(7 of many) But them, along with others, have been sold a bill of goods. And now, as we have entered the "find out" phase, many regret what they did. Some farmers are afraid that they'll lose their farms because of tariffs.

(6 of many) Is it so difficult to see what is really happening? DEI and merit have never been mutually exclusive. And I'm not saying all non-colored Anglo/European -related people are at fault. No, it's an ignorant minority (relatively speaking).

(5 of many) So, calling them as I see them: this is right out Racism with a capital "R." It is the whitewashing of the country veiled in the boogeyman of DEI. Sorry, that doesn't pass the smell test. Why won't the country take its blinders off?

(4 of many) YouTube has thousands of videos of dotards yelling "go back to where you came from." Funny, no one says that to the richest man in the world (psst... He wasn't born here). I guess money buys that immunity.

(3 of many) The Armed Forces, NSA, CIA, and even some private companies pulled out last minute from the Black Engineer of the Year Awards in Baltimore because of the EO against anything DEI. Getting rid of hispanics by droves. What's next, segregation?

(2 of many) They almost (almost) took off a lesson on the Tuskegee Airmen from the Air Force academy curriculum; they couldn't because of the backlash it created.

(1 of many) They took down a portrait of Harriet Tubman at a public school and told kids that she was not a "historical figure." But they kept one of DaVinci up. Now they can't talk about Rosa Parks in some states' public schools.

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center? Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.

Thank you, @chrislhayes.bsky.social www.yahoo.com/news/chris-h...

Senator Chris Murphy: "If you roll up USAID, it is just a massive gift to China in particular, and that is very bad for U.S. national security interests, very bad for the U.S. economy, and U.S. workers." Nailed it.

Dunno... But Nancy Mace,MTG, Lauren Bobbert, they all seem to be projecting their hate for transgender people. I'm beginning to think that they want to steer the conversation away from the possibility that they may be trans women (MTF) themselves. Why else all the hate?

Republicans in Congress would rather stay on the sidelines than take a hit. youtu.be/_A02tjjFfd8

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

And the ones he let out of prison...

(Contd) Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Pride, Juneteenth, Women's Equality Day, National Hispanic Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month and National American Indian Heritage Month." (2/2).

I just can't believe this is happening. ABC News: "Pentagon intelligence agency pauses activities related to MLK, Jr. Birthday, Black History Month, Women's History Month, Holocaust Day and Days of Remembrance, (1/2)

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump. “I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.” Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

I’ve seen many tweets like this today from Trump supporters who spent thousands of dollars to attend the inauguration. Some are already in DC Trump’s inaugural committee raked in over $250 million. He could easily reimburse them—but we all know he won’t. He doesn’t gives a shit about his supporters

I find that people who believe that Melania Trump was actually a model and not an escort are also the same people who believe that Elon Musk is not an anti-semite and not a Nazi.

I need some Xanax or Valium... Not ready for this.

Yup.

OK. Is T* for real on all this nonsense of renaming the Gulf of Mexico, annexing Canada, invading/buying Greenland, invading Panama and taking control of the canal by force, etc.? Isn't this surreal? All of the above are idiotic ideas! And maga thinks they are superb! Anyone else feels the same way?
