This is how it’s done.

so we're just supposed to live in a dictatorship now? and everyone's okay with this?

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

They want 1939 Germany, Let’s give them 1789 France.

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.

"By now it’s clear there’s no reason for optimism that H5N1 will fade away as a minor nuisance. To the contrary, the situation has only been trending worse." Lucy Shapiro of @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social on the "slow-boil crisis" of bird flu.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump moves to seize control of the U.S. Postal Service, planning to dismantle its leadership and pull the independent agency under his administration’s grip—an unprecedented power grab that could cripple mail delivery and disrupt trillions in e-commerce.

😂😂👍

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

you think maybe you wouldn't be both supporting Israel and throwing up the heil, but if it's all about money and turning the holy land into condos, religion doesn't really factor into it at all

Steve Bannon spoke at CPAC. He called for a 3rd term for FOTUS and then, unambiguously, threw up a nazi salute to the crowd. Just know, it can, and in all likelihood, will get a hell of a lot worse if we don't do something immediately.

days before Trump says heil is "very lovely gesture" and throws up one casually

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Elon Musk has incoherent meltdown at CPAC while wielding a chainsaw: www.palmerreport.com/analysis/elo...

Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting the war with Russia, drawing praise from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov: “This is already a signal that he understands our position.” Right-wing media can't decide how to respond.

Donald Trump's day so far: - Announced he's "terminated health" - Thought long dead Muhammad Ali was in the audience - Wants to know "did anybody steal the gold" - His approval rating is dropping - He has no idea what's going on - Trump is going to hell It's still only 8:46pm

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

I mean are we just supposed to live with this? Are we just supposed to tolerate every single thing we need to survive being taken away from us because some fucking person saw one trans person on a train one time? fuck

just speaking as a small business owner who had a GREAT run under Biden, who is gonna want to spend ANY money they don't need to if the economy is literally on the verge of crashing?

I mean they really see someone consolidating power and go "nothing wrong here." how can you be so fucking stupid. how can people like this fucking exist

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

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"

Interesting read - 'Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality' www.thetimes.com/article/b3bb...

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

Math is hard

Ok that made me laugh

we literally have EVERYTHING. we are fucking white Americans. We have the best lives on the planet, and you're unhappy? fuck yourself

I cannot be the only person who is just continually astounded by how stupid and spoiled the fucking people in this country are

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Crockett on Trump's relatively high approval: We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when your Medicaid goes away. You will understand when planes continue to fall out of the sky... maybe Sleepy Joe is what we wanted, bc we could at least sleep at night.

maybe we could just not kill anyone in foreign countries? maybe we could just not kill people at all?

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Wow. This post from a Ukrainian soldier says it all.

i feel like it's an open question whether or not the flu vaccine will even be available next season

Run for something!

ZELENSKYY: The risk that Russia will occupy Europe is 100 percent WELKER: If the US pulls out of NATO, Russia will occupy Europe? ZELENSKYY: Yes

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I wrote a piece about what the Trump administration is doing to NIH sponsored research & what the lawyers are trying to do to stop it. Along the way, I got the chance to better understand the work my daughter is doing around climate change & nutritional food. joycevance.substack.com/p/cutting-ca...

The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox
