I've been trying to unravel the riddle of humanity for more than 70 years. I'm left with mixed emotions. I'm willing to concede a reasoned argument, but I despise conspiracy theories that are unsupported by fact.

What happens when laid off federal workers can't afford to pay for washing machines, groceries, or triple lattes? There'll be fewer assembly line workers, bag boys, and baristas. Businesses will close. Trump isn't just firing employees. He's coming for you. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Who is Elon Musk? John Oliver explains. youtu.be/Eo3zORUGCbM?...

Join the millions of Americans who are not going to feed the corporations on February 28. We are done with the oligarchs and big corporations taking advantage of the system, of us. Join us in a day without spending! #EconomicBlackout is February 28th, 2025.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Amen to that.

Imagine a US government led by a drug addict and senile con man. Would it be much different than what we have now? www-dailymail-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.dail...

Who’s surprised???

DC police are mounting a criminal investigation of an alleged assault of a woman by GOP Rep. Cory Mills, who represents a district near Orlando. The incident started at a penthouse in a luxury DC apartment building. Mills, who’s married and has two kids, apparently had a fight with his girlfriend.

This isn't a blow as in an unexpected setback. Crypto is a layered scam. Major heists like this happen w. some hz; think earthquakes along the San Andreas fault: you know they happen at broadly regular intervals. The failures are built into the system. Meanwhile, all the littler scams continue.

Of course it’s a woman…

wait this can't be right, we have two business geniuses at the helm

“We are the federal law.”

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

Trump says that Putin invaded Ukraine for the same reason he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll. If you don't give a powerful predator what he wants, then he has the right to take it. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-z...

Oh how I love it! 😂

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

We have sticker sheets and individual stickers available! Get out there and let people know whose fault these high prices are. The work starts now! www.etsy.com/shop/FedUpStudio

Another Trump scam. How can DOGE send checks to Americans when they've fired all the workers in the mail room? apnews.com/article/trru...

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

Just because we all need something cute to start our day…

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.

Musk bought the presidency for Donald Trump. Now, he wants to own the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Support Susan Crawford! www.courthousenews.com/group-backed...

This is what your government is doing in your name. Does it make you feel proud? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

Why is Trump turning his back on Ukraine? Yep, you got it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

It’s safe to say we’re living under the most corrupt, treacherous, and anti-American U.S. administration of all time.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"
