Not all heroes wear capes 🤣🔥

web.archive.org/web/20250221... Putting this out here where MU卐K has no control.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

Just beware: there are fake, troll accounts on this platform here to defend Musk. I just called out one because it was so obvious and he deleted his comment and blocked me. Thin-skinned Musk is paying people to protect him and his disinformation.

A large Ukrainian protest is taking place right now at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC On the posters: "Ukraine is not for sale", "Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine", "Stop the aggressor by force!" 🖼️: Ostap Yarysh

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

We don’t have kings in America. Hell no. Go to oneflaginitiative.org and join the #NoKings movement. Make sure that tyrant in the White House hears our voice.👇

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Experts say the conflicts posed by Tom Krause’s dual roles are unprecedented in the modern era.

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

DC police are mounting a criminal investigation of an alleged assault of a woman by GOP Rep. Cory Mills, who represents a district near Orlando. The incident started at a penthouse in a luxury DC apartment building. Mills, who’s married and has two kids, apparently had a fight with his girlfriend.

In her first children’s book, conservationist Bindi Irwin takes little readers on a journey through Australia Zoo. She joins us to talk about her family’s legacy, how motherhood fuels her approach to conservation, and what it’s like to run a zoo.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

If you want to get a sense of the mood out there, apparently this song from last century is going viral (Yes, the same band that famously did "Tubthumper")

“Every current and former NNSA employee who spoke to The Bulwark was alarmed about the possibilities of this sort of brain drain, fretting that Musk and his tech-bro buds simply didn’t realize how unsuited the ‘turn everything off and see what breaks’ model was to their line of work.”

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did

83% (!!!) of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent Jan. 6 rioters, according to a new WaPo/Ipsos poll.

“U.S. Doubles Down on Demand That Ukraine Sign Minerals Deal” I wrote about what I think Trump is up to. So far my take seems to be playing out. open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

If you ever wondered how a civilized modern country like Germany could have gone so completely and violently insane, you're looking right at it. Shoulda shown up.

So for those keeping score at home: FOX & even NEWSMAX are backing the AP against Trump’s ban Yet ZERO media outlets have spoken up for us here in Tennessee, where Speaker Sexton bans us from pressers and the (AP-chaired) press corps unanimously votes against us 🤔

Of course

JOINT KYIV PRESS CONFERENCE WITH US ENVOY KELLOGG AND UKRAINE'S ZELENSKIY CANCELLED AT U.S. REQUEST - UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

Grrrrr

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

Trump likes being #2, he likes doing the PR work, being in front of the camera, getting the adulation, but serving the boss. Musk will dominate him at home and Putin will dominate him abroad. He will deliver their lines, as he has just done for Putin in shocking fashion, and does for Musk every day.

another Thing I Will Keep Saying: there is of course an important moral case for internationalism. but the practical case for it can start by simply noticing how internationalist the people robbing you are (however nationalist their rhetoric might be)

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have repeatedly affirmed Musk’s leadership of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. But according to a new court filing from the White House, the administrator of DOGE isn’t Elon Musk after all. Who is? No one knows.

Jared Moskowitz’s message for Elon Musk: I think the time for staying in safe spaces is over. Twitter—or X—is a safe space for him. You’ve got to get out of your safe spaces. Go talk to the American people—not just on Fox, not just next to the president, and not just on X. Come to Congress…

This is the story of the day imo.
