I feel like everyone we know who ISN'T a Nazi, spectrum or otherwise, would intrinsically and subconsciously know to NEVER do that specific gesture in that specific context with that specific mannerism, twice, in front of millions at a POTUS inauguration. The ADL not caring is the cherry on top. Wtf

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump orders all federal employees identified as DEI hires to placed on leave by 5pm. The order is said to target trans federal employees and some people of Color. This is arbitrary and evil. No other way to describe it.

“The job of the Democratic party comes in two parts. First: Do not help Republicans. Not in any way. Second: Make Donald Trump own every bad outcome that happens, anywhere in the world.” True enough. The only problem here is the lack of an organized Democratic Party. newrepublic.com/post/190337/...

Pete Hegseth honored those who died on 9/11 by showing up to their New York City memorial site in his underwear. Is that the type of decision making we want running the Department of Defense?

NEW: Donald Trump’s pick to lead the federal health agency has vowed to replace hundreds of staffers and shift research away from infectious diseases and vaccines. Such an overhaul could imperil the development of life-saving treatments, experts warn. By @annamaria.bsky.social

Democrats have left the equivalent of a Chinese finger puzzle for Republicans in Congress who want to carry out Trump's MAGA agenda but want to keep pretending they aren't acting over America by carrying out Trump's deficit spending agenda. They won't beat this puzzle quickly.

Pete Hegseth getting all these women to sign nondisclosure agreements means he has a lot of embarrassing skeletons in the closet. Don't think Putin doesn't know what they are. #Blackmail

National strike, Monday, Jan. 20, 2025. #NationalStrike #Jan20 #ReadABook Visit your local library and get a card if you don't already have one. Stock up on a couple of good books before the 20th. Libby is a great app for ebooks. (And reserving print.) Just download before that day.

Today, I signed an executive order prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property. Make no mistake — this is a prosecutable crime.
