200 million dollars of waste.

“You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old? Are you for real right now?” That teen is "Big Balls" Corisitine, the recording is from 2022, and the voice is from a CEO worried about him as a security risk. Now Musk has him snooping in your personal data www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

👋 Doctor here #NIH funding contributed to the development of 354 out of 356 new drugs approved by the #FDA between 2010 and 2019. #Pharma depends on these... So, cutting these funds will not only reduce new drug development, it will also hurt Pharma. #medsky #publichealth @meganranney.bsky.social

I am spending a lot of time right now strategizing on how to support and nurture our next generation of health scientists. We need you. ❤️

THIS IS A MUST-READ PIECE. Please share, off Bluesky as well as on it. Most people *do not understand* how harmful these short-sighted cuts are going to be - for our economic as well as our physical health. 🧪🛟🩺

The IRS is expected to fire upwards of 6,000 employees as early as today. This will mean fewer audits for rich tax dodgers. According to U.S. Treasury estimates, the top 1% underpay their taxes by $163 billion every year.

Firing thousands of hardworking IRS employees in the middle of tax season will be a disaster for families. And conveniently for Elon Musk, it'll make it even easier for the ultra-rich to cheat on their taxes. As always, the GOP's top priority is their billionaire donors.

this message is for Gov Mills of Maine. Hi. TY. Love you. 💕⭐️

he now has access to our all our personal data. we can expect to be extorted at any time.

⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters. The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

WAKE UP!!!!! It's all FEAR PORN. How many transgender athletes are there in the U.S.? Out of 510,000 athletes competing at the collegiate level, there are FEWER THAN TEN who publicly identify as transgender, Charlie Baker, the N.C.A.A. president, said in January

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Feb. 22, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

🎨This week’s news, as seen through the eyes of the world’s political cartoonists👇

Inevitably, this info will be leaked. It will cause havoc for years to come.

Starlink, Space X, Tesla and X are both economic and political vehicles created not just to enrich but empower their owner. He is an ignorant, racist, rogue, narcissist who supports America's enemies and an anti-democratic, white supremacist agenda. Supporting those companies in any way at all...

⚡️ Ukraine's SBU claims attack on Russian oil pumping station in Krasnodar Krai. Russian authorities are currently assessing the damage, the source said.

Should you sell your Tesla? Should you stop using “X?” Should gov'ts stop supporting Starlink or Space X? Yes. Failing to do so empowers those who are actively trying to destroy our democracy & who are hurting the most vulnerable in our society and around the world. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

"Meta and X gave the green light to AI-generated ads that called for the gassing of immigrants in concentration camps and the burning of synagogues ahead of Germany’s federal elections on Feb. 23, according to new research from corporate accountability group Ekō." www.adweek.com/media/meta-a...

GET OFF ALL META AND X. SUPPORT IS COMPLICITY!

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.
