“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

Remember those recorders many of us played in elementary school, sounding awful in our tiny hands? Well, this dude goes to town on one, or its Baroque flautino cousin, in Spain--I believe in 2014--playing Vivaldi's Recorder Concerto in C Major,composed 1728-29 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO7i... #music

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

The unraveling of Medicare has begun👇

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

The Peace Plan: Get the fuck out of our country. #StandWithUkraine

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Zelenskyy needs our support more than ever !

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...

You know this is 100% going to happen…

You dumb mutherfuckers fucked everyone in America and possibly the world with your narrow minded and unwarranted hate.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

He should be our messenger.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

The most shameful thing I've ever heard from an American President. One way or another, he should be removed from office immediately.

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

This is happening, right now. The great "arribada" (arrival) of mother Olive Ridley sea turtles on the Odisha coast, where they dig sand-nests & lay their eggs, driven by ancient instinct. Heart-lifting, magnificent, moving: part of a geography of hope. 🎞️ by Bivash Pandav via my friend Yuvan Aves.

FEBRUARY 28TH. • The 24 Hour Economic Black Out Begins. • Only buy essential items such as (Food, Medicine, Emergency Supplies) • Support small, local businesses. • Corporations and banks care only about THEIR bottom line. • Disrupt the economy for just ONE day, then repeat until they hear us.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

“Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes in less than two months’ time—specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes,” Timothy W. Ryback writes in a step-by-step account:

SCOOP: On his second day as HHS secretary, RFK Jr., the onetime environmentalist, killed climate change programs at NIH that research and prepare for the health effects of extreme weather and a warming planet. This is not going to make Americans healthy. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
