It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Hey MAGA how does it feel to pay millions of dollars to a rapist fraud to play golf?

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

According to the trump Golf Tracker website, out of 29 days in office so far, trump has spent 7 of them golfing -- that's 24.14% ALREADY. What a fucking freeloader.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

If anything wanted total rescission of funds, the Space Force is it.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Per the NY Times, there have been >24,000,000 cases of flu this year. We need MORE public health surveillance, not less. And get your shot, even though it's not a perfect antigenic match.

Just imagine this was a woman with her child on her shoulders and she was wearing a T-shirt and ball cap um the oval office.

Why don't we drink like adults, and skip the straw? I realize that they help prevent spillage in cars, and they are assistive for people with tremors and people stuck in bed. But do we as individuals truly need a straw at all? It's a custom. 1/2

ALERT Those unfamiliar with the SAVE ACT, it requires Americans to present a birth certificate or passport THAT MATCHES THEIR LEGAL NAME when they register to vote. The majority of American women change their names when they marry. Their legal names do not match the name on their birth certificate.

Nothing says ‘fiscal responsibility’ like burning through nearly $200K an hour so a bunch of Republicans can watch the Super Bowl on the taxpayers’ dime.

If the invasive carp make it all the way to Lake Michigan, the Great Lakes ecosystem will be in tatters. Restore the $117 million in federal funding. It's cheaper than restoring the lakes. wgntv.com/news/joliet/...

The Pentagon is yanking books on immigration, psychology, and LGBTQ+ topics from military base schools—robbing 67,000 military kids of the education they deserve. This isn’t protecting families. It’s forcing ignorance. Military families deserve better. MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Dear Italy: Please prosecute Don jr. to the max for slaughtering your duck(s).

The rockets at SpaceX are exploding. The equipment from Starlink is making its way to Russia to be used against our ally. The stock at Tesla is tanking. Cybertruck is a joke. Twitter is going out of business. And yet . . . Elon Musk thinks he has the time/talent to run the entire US government.

Celebrating Black History Month....

Dear Canada and Mexico, We’re so, so sorry. — Sane America

This week, 2 MMWR reports on H5N1 avian flu virus were not released: 1) study if vets treating sick cattle have been unknowingly infected 2) risk of people transmitting H5N1 to their pet cats. Concerns that public health communications being politically censored buff.ly/4hzOJBz #medsky #idsky 🛟🧪

Am I being nit-picky? When someone departs the mortal coil, don't you say, "God rest their souls," not "God Bless their souls?"

2 friends have just lost Medicaid. Both have disabilities beyond old age, and both need medical care. Neither has a condition which needs an ER. Guess where they will have to get urgent treatment. The idiocracy is not just going to get folks killed, it's going to bring down hospitals.
