Back in 2021, @jbf1755.bsky.social & @hcrichardson.bsky.social did an episode about the postal service on their much-missed podcast “Now & Then.” I suggest you have a listen to understand the USPS and the implications of privatization. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

MUST READ: Donald Trump, Code Name: Krasnov, is a KGB Asset! bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

submitted 1 day ago • 39 comments

In 1987, Trump was having financial difficulties (he lost $1 Billion dollars from 1978-1990) - so he turned to Russia. The KGB literally paid for his trip to Russia, and he was recruited by the KGB. #Krasnov

A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship. But they really don't like the Gulf of America thing. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans killed Medicare coverage of telehealth. This may be an in-the-weeds policy issue, but the reality of the matter is important. If there are low-information low engagement swing voters in your life, especially seniors, you need to make sure they understand.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Not only did the National Park Service remove references to transgender history on the Stonewall website, it appears they are now editing the work of historians without their knowledge or consent.

The post rejecting this ad is legitimately shocking. The reporters continue doing great work. But ownership can’t be this captive and not sap the paper of credibility.

It is honestly ludicrous how much New York Shit has now become everyone's problem. The president (convicted felon, corrupt) strong arming mayor (indicted on felony corruption) into carrying out his immigration cruelty via DOJ quid pro quo worse than Watergate. Democratic primary is in months.

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

This. I once took time to discuss elections with my students -- because it was their 1st election & there was no one who would talk to them about them. And yes. The job of a college professor is to explain complicated things so that students can understand them -- AND evaluate them for themselves.

“Every American can do something—show up, walk out, call, sign up, demonstrate engagement.” The Musk-Trump axis thrives on chaos and intimidation, but resistance is growing. Thousands protested, DOJ lawyers resigned & NYC officials walked out. Jen Rubin explains.

Most egregiously, his deletion of entire depts & Trump’s refusal to spend as directed by Congress violates the Constitution. That’s why multiple courts have enjoined them."

“Staffing decisions should be based on an individual agency’s mission-critical needs. To do otherwise is dangerous when it comes to public safety. And it is especially unconscionable in the aftermath of three deadly aircraft accidents in the past month.”

Been thinking a lot lately about how great it would be if only the American literary canon contained a novel about how the American people voted themselves into fascism, with many voters thinking they were just choosing a straight-talking non-politician who could clean up the mess in Washington.
