Things you can’t unsee

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Only Stephen Miller would got tingles about this…. Aaarghhh! I just got a visual brain worm I can’t get out!

Kat shared this.

Never forget.

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.

I Stand With Ukraine 🇺🇦

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I was at a business meeting last night with roughly 50 bankers. One of the panelists did a pitch-perfect impression of Trump. It was not meant to be complimentary. He is pissing in everyone’s punchbowl. His #s show it. Soon the cheese will stand alone.

THIS! Make good trouble!

Senate Republicans just launched an all-night voting spree to rip apart Medicaid and starve kids—all so they can hand more cash to billionaires like Elon Musk. They’re doing this while most people aren’t watching. Absolutely disgraceful.

How it started Vs. How it’s going.

TODAY'S SIMPLE THING Stay informed about the implications of what you see in the news. www.brookings.edu/articles/dan...

This makes so much sense

Agreed!

Nikki Haley got exactly what she voted for. Reap what you sow, baby!

"It's shocking to me that Democratic leaders seem to be indicating that they are not going to put up a fight. This is the only opportunity they have in the next six to eight months where their votes are needed, where Republicans need to come to Democrats hat in hand for their participation."

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

We are getting the Art of the Raw Deal.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the original American patriots fought a fucking Revolutionary War to liberate ourselves from the rule of a king. This ain't the flex he thinks it is.

Agreed @govpritzker.illinois.gov - nicely played. Will be looking for full recording tomorrow. Keep speaking out. We find comfort and guidance in SANE leaders’ voices. (Should not have to have such a low bar)

Windsor ON waitress: “oh, you’re American. Is the English menu ok or would you prefer one in Russian?”

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS @democracyforward.org request to allow expedited discovery in lawsuit challenging DOGE access to Department of Labor data. First instance of discovery being permitted in the Trump accountability cases. Visit Democracy Docket for more info. www.democracydocket.com

More of this!!

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"

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

Ugh. Appalling story. (But great reporting, as usual, from @stevanzetti.bsky.social .) www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Here’s what is frustrating. The RIGHT plays to WIN with a well-funded centralized strategy & playbook including cheating. I am not condoning immoral bullying evil corruption. But where is OUR well-funded strategy? Our playbook? Stop infighting & remember if you don’t win, you can lose everything.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Is this the lost "masculine energy" that was missing at Facebook? Because laying people off and blaming THEM is a flaming d*ck move -- and that is exactly what this looks like!
