I remember marching to this song against the Vietnam war when I was a kid in Toronto, Canada. That was bad, but damn it America, you've really done it this time. #TeamCanada

Per @cturnbull1968.bsky.social: “Dear DNC, if you don’t run political ads with Elon holding a chainsaw, combined with video of a chainsaw cutting Grandma’s social security benefits and healthcare, I’m going to file a suit against you for gross negligence.”

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

Much of the chaos of the past few weeks can be understood as part of the Trump administration’s "central ideological project: restoring America’s traditional hierarchies of race and gender.” Call it the “Great Resegregation."

Trump called to motivate Team USA before last night's hockey clash against Canada: "We love you guys, and we'll be watching tonight. Bring it home." The Trump endorsement of doom worked out like it always does.😅 #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #ETTD #USAvsCAN #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Colonists needed a way to communicate during the Rev War so USPS was created. It proved so vital it was written into the Constitution. It served as a secure way to hold elections. Voting by mail is how this country was founded. A traitor is sabotaging it. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

This period of history will be written about for centuries as the ‘Deconstruction Era’. When the cost of living and healthcare outpaced wages so much so that Americans turned to a fat fake TV businessman who lied to them, destabilized the world and segregated the poor to steal their social security.

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Further proof that the ‘immigration crisis’ was never something Trump wanted remedied. More Judges speeds up the processing of cases. Firing a bunch makes no sense to curb immigration. 👀

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

My bet is that the Musk Rats chewing on our Treasury files are also collecting material from Trump’s first term. This stuff can easily be massaged into a gigantic scandal, as we have seen. As long as Trump gives what he wants, Trump is safe. If not, not.
