Protect NOAA: Our Safety in a Climate-Changed World Depend on It secure.ucsusa.org/a/2025-prote...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The Democrats should be on the phone right now trying to set up a meeting with Zelensky before he departs. We need to let the world know that more than half of America deplores Trump and his cronies and that we support Ukraine. Step up! #zelensky #democrats #resist

Who Should History Blame for the Rise of Trumpism? open.substack.com/pub/thedange...

Trump to Zelenskiy: 'You either make a deal' or we are out Trump also told Zelenskiy: "You are gambling with World War III" "You have to be thankful". Your comments were very disrespectful So we are siding with Putin now and shunning our allies. This is despicable. #trumpextortion #ukraine #trump

Brett Meiselas: Right now, we have a president and his billionaire oligarch buddy, who are essentially leading a coup against the United States from within. And I think people are looking right now for people to call this out for what it is every single day, unapologetically,

MAGA has viral posts going on X complaining that the judge in the USAID lawsuit has dual citizenship.

I thought egg prices would go down on day one, wasn't that the promise? The latest price as of 12 February 2025 is $4.95, the highest in the entire 45 year record. In October the price was $3.37, so a nearly a 50% increase since Trump's election. #trump #eggprices #promisesbroken

The BBC is quite correct.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

We had a saying in the Army, you can piss down my back but don't tell me it's rain. #buget #trump www.americanprogress.org/article/cong...

I hadn't realized that 6,000 veterans were let go but not surprising, Trump doesn't like the military (unless they kiss his ring), but this should be enacted. Good luck with the gutless Republicans #veterans apnews.com/article/vete...

White House Moves to Pick the Pool Reporters Who Cover Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/b... Once this comes out we need to boycott *every* news network that is in their handpicked list #boycottTrumpsSycophants #trump

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02... Look at this picture, this is not a tough guy. He's another billionaire charlatan who has no integrity, no honesty, and only gets rich off the back of working people he exploits. ...and the idiot Trump has given him the keys to country. Deplorable.

While this new pick may be qualified I had to laugh that Trump said he wasn't a "TV General", but he and his Defense pick both came from TV. He also let his subordinates wear MAGA hats during a military event showing yet again that he values loyalty over anything. www.reuters.com/world/us/hes...

This is the opposite of the Teddy Roosevelt theme of "speak softly and carry a big stick", more of "I'm a loud mouth moronic conman rapist who needs to prove I'm not a coward, even though I am". Put this charlatan on the first helo and we'll see what a coward he is. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

2024: Welcome to the American Fascist Oligarchy, 250 years of a proud history of democracy we're losing to ignorance, arrogance, and stupidity. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Republicans elected a convicted felon as president and they suddenly think they have ANY room to be angry over President Biden pardoning Hunter Biden? Spare me the fake outrage and sit down, you complete and total hypocrites.

Why do people in red states like Oklahoma consistently vote against their own interests and keep electing people who are causing their suffering? It’s because of what we refer to as the authoritarian loop. Here’s how it works:

At a time when we are certainly in the climate 'tipping point' timeframe this is definitely *not* the choice we need right now: www.wsj.com/business/ene... #climate #climate-change

Great to see so many people moving to BlueSky, see it in real-time here: bcounter.nat.vg

The situation with the tipping point is beyond concerning, this is definitely worth the watch if you're concerned about climate change and the nearly certain impacts to the planet. #climate www.nytimes.com/events/clima...

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
