President Carter is barely in the ground and these pillocks are subverting his legacy. Atlantans know he would have been ENTIRELY in support of Brian’s book and the other authors whose events at his library have been cancelled.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

1st: vaccines work 2nd: social media companies developed their OG vaccine policies in response to outbreaks like this in Samoa & Bklyn. Not COVID! They boosted good info. They labeled false claims. That got redefined as “censorship” by ppl who profit from lies. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Good summary of the sweeping cuts that are dismantling US government. Truly nihilistic stuff. As always useful.to see what the future could be for us all if the fascists make further inroads into our shaky democracies 😭

OMB director Russ Vought has officially begun carrying out his section of Project 2025. Technical thread to follow, but it’s really important - this is a major path through which the Trump administration will illegally impound funding, refusing to carry out some of our spending laws.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Just caught up to this postponement (was on deadline, see yesterday's post on bird flu). The ACIP is an advisory committee to the CDC that touches almost all vaccine formula and use recommendations, so, seems unnerving. It would be nice to think the postponement is due to chaos, and not nefarious.

Public lands are one of the few remaining great equalizers of America’s increasingly ultra-wealthy-centric economy. This would be the death knell for hunting and fishing access, for hiking, cycling, and other forms of rec. It would be a great betrayal of our obligation as stewards of that land

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

The official White House Twitter account is now referring to Trump as a king. No, this is sadly not a joke. This is a violation of an emoluments clause and is an impeachable offence.
