It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Getting hit with "One for Israel" ads on YouTube a lot lately. I skip them as soon as that damned buton appears, but it looks like it's a Jews for Jesus thing, and/or something to do with the evangelical filling of Israel with Eussian jews. Either way, *Yuck!"*

We used to use government for the needs of the people, fixing the infrastructure and literally creating new jobs for people in the process. We must make this happen again.

Bless the protesters!

What a different world we could have.

Some Thoughts On Ukraine The Russian invasion of Ukraine was indisputably provoked by western aggressions. That's why so many western experts and analysts spent years warning ahead of time that western aggressions were going to provoke an invasion of Ukraine. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/some-thoug...

Dear Humans, Your great-grandparents prayed for a cure for measles. You have it—and yet some of you want to 'research' your way back to the 1800s.

DONALD TRUMP: "I'm requiring everyone in America to speak English." AMERICA: "You first."

“Humanitarian aid should never be used as a tool of war.” Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says the Israeli decision to stop the entry of all humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip is “outrageous and will have devastating consequences”. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/66nsyl

Vaccines are good and you should get them. Vaccines do NOT cause autism. But even if they did, if you would rather risk your child's life than have a kid with autism, you're a terrible parent. Vaccines should be mandatory unless you medically can't take them.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

Roadside wisdom.

i strongly encourage the right-wing dipshits among us to take up a two pack a day smoking habit

Friendly reminder that Netanyahu never intended to allow the ceasefire to move on to phase 2 as written. He was always planning to blow up the agreement, confident in the support of the Adelson-owned US president.

If it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Nazi… Keep the online pressure up, friends. And boycott Tesla. Find out more about local protests at teslatakedown.com

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago. You won’t see this mentioned by any European or American leaders, or by most western media.

So. I figure the plan is to 25th amendment Trump, have Vance take over, and accelerate the christian-fascist vision Project 2025, and the Nazi takeover by two apartheid billionaires, Thiel and Musk. Thiel thinks his billions will protect him from the Nazi homophobes he's funding. It won't.

RFK Jr. is a murderer. And he will takes no responsibility for any deaths that result from mistakes that he will make. God only knows what is coming next re: COVID and a flu shot possibly being unavailable next fall. Let's keep our heat on this sick man -- we were warned! #MeaslesOutbreak

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
