It appears this is the fourth worst back to back day for the DJIA in American history with a two day combined -8.65% loss, only trailing the 1929 crash, 1987 Black Monday, and the 2008 crisis.

Quit freaking out. Remember that in 10,000 B.C., when America had ZERO international trade, a family could afford a house like this on a single income.

This is Bambi. She loves flowers. Because just like her, they bring immense joy into the world while remaining impressively close to the ground. 12/10

They're making people disappear and making up 'reasons' after the fact.

What if the secret to winning elections is somehow Trump's syntax. We need a guy to say stuff like "But we're going to abolish billionaires and we'll be doing it very soon. They'll be paying very high taxes but it'll be very fair. And frankly they haven't paid taxes in a very long time"

Pete Hegseth being exposed as incompetent is giving me a special kind of pleasure considering he blamed the presence of Black people and women for compromising military readiness. But I’mma tell you the one thing that Black folks do without fail when added to a group chat — ask who all in there? 😂

He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sends a text that remind him of the war plans He sends a text that reminds him of the war crimes #Hegseth

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

me reading national security secrets bc i've been accidentally added to a group chat

This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared. And we will remember their names.

This is Frank. He is the perfect example of why golden retrievers don't make good guard dogs. But they make wonderful welcome committees. 13/10 (TT: accordingtobelieve)

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

Drake hits the Triple Crown: getting dunked on at the Grammys, Super Bowl, and Oscars all in the same year.

Lol the Oscars narrated by Ron Swanson

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time

Worst. Episode. EVER.

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

what my kids need to understand is that the unwatchable trash from my childhood is precious, while the unwatchable trash they love is the killer of minds

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

Republicans want to turn this country into a fascist theocracy. As Democrats, we must put aside our differences and work with them to help achieve this reality.

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

This is Aldo. He is a good boy. But also... a bad boy. 13/10

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

Everyone was warned about this, and it’s happening just as we feared.

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies. Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption. Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025. Keep paying attention. wapo.st/3Cptwvg
