The Economist FELON’s, or should I say Captain Bonespur) military firings t are casualties of his culture war General Brown is the most prominent black military officer; Admirals Fagan & Franchetti were the first women in their jobs Senior military officers serve at the president’s pleasure

He nails it.

I've been brutally sick with the flu. Limping around my kitchen, depleted and needing food, I became furious—furious that a mentally decrepit, morally bankrupt Nazi is denying food and aid to the most vulnerable. As I got what I needed, a starving baby in Sudan went without. Elon must be stopped.

The Saudi / Russia House,

Stock market horrible two days in a row. Retirement accounts taking a huge hit. Thanks to Felon.

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

#teslatakedown I made some protest art.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

"I can go through pretty much the entire South and tell you that they’re broke and they rely on a lot of welfare from the government -- to be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these BIG BLUE states like New York. So the South is in the find out phase." --Rep. Jasmine Crockett

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Always stand up to a bully

I read little US MSM these days & did not see this covered. From the BBC: bbc.com/news/article...

Blessings on 83 -yr- old Bernie Sanders who is visiting US red states From THE GUARDIAN "We are on the road for democracy and justice What we are fighting for is not ‘utopian’ or unachievable. Trumpism can and must be defeated"

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Literally. The only fucking person that needed to attend. OF ALL THE TRANSITION MEETINGS. And he couldn’t be bothered.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

BREAKING: Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested TODAY near the U.S. Capitol by Capitol Police. As Tarrio was walking away from a rally, he knocked the phone out of the hands of a heckler. Police immediately took Tarrio into custody. GOOD!

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

@ezralevin.bsky.social

I started following @aoc.bsky.social. I've never been her biggest fan, honestly. (This is a safe space 😉). I disagree with her on many of her platforms. However, she is a very visible and vocal antipode to MTG, Lake, Noem, and others. She is who we need right now at the podium. She deserves support.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?
