If you do not believe in God, this will likely be meaningless to you. NO ONE knows when these events will occur, but do you think it may be worthwhile to take this Revelation passage seriously?

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Thousands of protesters opposing President Trump’s agenda took to the streets on Monday across the U.S., derisively calling him a “king” on Presidents’ Day for his efforts to terminate thousands of federal workers and to fire prosecutors and independent watchdogs. nyti.ms/3CQA2LX

“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” Mr. Trump wrote, first on Truth Social, and then on the website X. The quote is a variation of one sometimes attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte. It’s creepy to the core and wholly anti-constitutional: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u...

"I've spent over five decades as a scientist in academia and the federal government," Harold Varmus, the former director of the N.I.H., writes in a guest essay. "Never before have I seen my profession so politicized as it is now under the Trump administration."

Like ALL large organizations, there are opportunities to operate more efficiently and lower costs. Indiscriminate mass firings with NO organizational studies are cruel, lazy, irresponsible, and dangerous. Many hard-working Americans are being hurt - YOU may be next. apnews.com/article/trum...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.

A federal judge appointed by President Bush has ordered the Trump administration to restore public health websites with critical medical information that doctors use to care for patients. Another important win in the fight against these unlawful power grabs.

Changing your mind doesn't always mean you've abandoned your principles. It often means you've learned something. It's better to contradict yourself and be accused of hypocrisy than to stick to your guns and sacrifice your values. The hallmark of integrity is not consistency. It's honesty.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

I want to point out that amidst the firehose of violated norms and challenges to the rule of law, federal courts are holding firm for the rule of law. No rule of law, no democracy. I’m grateful to those judges and their adherence to justice that rises above partisanship.

By design, the Trump administration is rapidly deploying an overwhelming volume of drastic moves and strong-man rhetoric. Among many potentially disastrous changes, this one requires everyone’s immediate attention and action. Use Bluesky to share what you’re doing so others can support you.
