This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

They’re not kidding about this.

If you have the time, please consider running for local boards. That’s where we start.

And American voters fell for it. crooksandliars.com/2025/02/ex-r...

We don't know whether Trump was recruited by Russia in 1987 and codenamed #Krasnov but it's hard to think things would have turned out the way they have if it wasn’t true.

Spread this around,we need it. substack.com/@sarscov2cov...

Amen to that.

Screw it. It’s Saturday. Enjoy the day and count it towards revenge.

Today and every day, Fox News is brainwashing Americans.

The underlying tenet of Republican philosophy is that government does nothing important. Think about it. That’s the only way you could randomly fire thousands of government employees without consideration of what it is they do.

Imagine how much less is getting done and how much more unsafe it makes us.

Fox News is a psy-op cesspool brainwashing ignorant voters. It needs a warning label.

So now he’s going to destroy the postal service. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

Imagine if the United States withdrew from the United Nations. www.foxnews.com/politics/no-...

Mitch McConnell announced his retirement after 40 years of working hard to make Kentucky one of the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy states in the US.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

Democrats need a Project 2027 document, with plans and actual bills on things like eliminating the influence of big money, comprehensive immigration reform, etc. Start now. Where’s the marketing?

Democrats should have a plan to remove big money from politics and they should be advertising it. apnews.com/article/wisc...

And yet, if you watched Fox News this morning they would have told you that Trump’s approval is through the roof. Seriously, I’m forced to watch it at the gym. When is the Left going to counter this? flip.it/dxg._V

Know what would be nice? If all the upcoming unemployment was limited to Trump voters. I hope they’re begging on street corners. flip.it/3ATfEi

Well fuck HP. The next time I need to buy a printer you can bet I’ll remember this. www.theregister.com/2025/02/20/h...

I think I’m through torturing myself with news for today.

This list will make you smile. flip.it/Z37CuH

Screw the fact flu vaccines save lives. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Ignorant people believe every problem has a simple solution. “Just deport them all!” they cry. Immigration reform will only be accomplished when smart people sit down and craft a comprehensive solution. Not by ignorant racists afraid of losing their white advantage. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-m...

Trump wants to take over DC. time.com/7259679/trum...

Apparently being an overt racist pig isn’t enough to get you fired as an ICE prosecutor in these times. boingboing.net/2025/02/20/t...

800 conspirators. Gee I thought I wouldn’t get here for months at the rate I gain followers. Thank you all. Don’t forget to tell your friends.

There’s an article today in The Atlantic about how COVID pushed a generation of young people to the right. Wrong. Ignorance and lack of an educational foundation pushed a generation to the right. We’ve set loose on society a generation without a sufficient base of science and history knowledge.

Acosta: He is, essentially, a part-time president who has delegated the presidency to Elon Musk. And the question folks are going to have to start asking—and I think they already are—is: What the hell did we vote for here?

This is what I was talking about last week.

Feel good Trump-holes?

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I’m sorry. What?

Now, for Americans traveling abroad, repeat after me. “Me? No. I’m Canadian.”

Wyden: "Nobody should lose sight of what happened this morning. Trump endorsed the House budget resolution. This resolution mandates that $880b in cuts come from the House Energy & Commerce Committee ... there is no plausible way to hit that target without hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicaid."

It's because it was always a lie. We told you it was a lie. We told you the only way to make their quotas was scooping up anybody they can get their hands on. Anyone they get a tip from. Isn't it odd how in your town one Mexican restaurant is targeted but not another one? They only want numbers.
