pedocon theory on its way to becoming a scientific law

It's interesting that @CNN.com, the alleged "Most Trusted Name in News", doesn't appear to mention that AOC and Bernie had 32,000 at a Denver rally, and many thousands elsewhere. I just check CNN these days to see what they don't report on. It's a lot. I can't trust them at all.

Judge Boasberg is a hero.

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers. Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

Tesla isn’t going to survive. Sales are down nearly 50% in Europe. Keep the boycott going. Your protests are working. #3E #endoligarchy #boycotttesla

Crockett: Mr. President, guess what? Russia invaded Ukraine. Can we at least agree on that one? Facts matter. Is there anybody in here that has enough courage to say Russia invaded Ukraine? …. Crockett: This is the problem

@Rachel Maddow just did the best three minutes of tv in a generation, calling out the suits at MSNBC. Brava, Rachel!

I choose Joy Reid over MSNBC! #SupportJoyReid #NoKing #FightFascism #choosedemocracy

VACCINES SAVE LIVES Vaccines ended the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines and other public health measures save the lives of millions of children worldwide. Do not let RFKJr and the Trump admin take us back to a time when 5 in 10 children died before the age of 5. theconversation.com/infectious-d...

Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

ATTENTION FEDS Judge Chutkin won't block Musk's federal worker firings because "'possibility' that defendants may take actions that irreparably harm plaintiffs is not enough" Attorneys are asking us for evidence of harm. If you have evidence contact the tipline asap. We'll provide an email address

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

A nice op-ed attacking Trump by some guy named Mitch McC— … wait what??

Farmers: “He was supposed to hurt other people, not us.”

Pope Francis’ letter to U.S. Bishops is incedibly powerful. This stands out to me especially. Every purported Christian faith leader who has endorsed or stood silent before Trump’s ugly immigration policies needs to be confronted with this statement. www.vatican.va/content/fran...

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

This seems bad. It's worse. The broken ethics of this governments perverted radical world view is a nightmare scenario. MAGA, you spent your entire existence fearing and arming yourself to fight an oppressive government then installed one you can't possibly hope to fight.

Noon, Monday the 17th at the TX state Capitol

I just called my rep and I'm on hold for @andykimnj.bsky.social's office about DOGE invading the Department of Ed today and canceling grants & programs even though they know what they're doing is illegal. PLEASE call your reps/Senators NOW. The education of every kid in America is at stake.

Thank you! A federal judge blocked U.S. DOGE employees from altering any records of payments at the Treasury Department while she weighs a request by public interest groups for a broader injunction against their activity. Thank you, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s! 🙏

A message to Elon Musk’s staffers: Your names are known, and America will ensure you never get another job again.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

Time for real protests.

Watching this on repeat how is your day going?

For 10 years, I worked all hours and sacrificed my personal life to run a 99 seat non-profit theatre. In the back half of my tenure, I didn't take a vacation in 6 years! The LEAST our senators and reps could do is WORK LATE ON A FRIDAY WHILE THE GOVERNMENT IS BEING DISMANTLED.

180 Republicans Voted Against Funding the FAA, the Agency That Keeps Planes from Crashing Trump selected eight of them to serve in his administration. Read this exclusive research and reporting on Meidas+.

NY Times, Feb. 11, 1933.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

So Trump is stealing food from grannies, health care for poor people, and education from kids. All things Congress ORDERED the Executive Branch to deliver to constituents. And the GOP is okay with that.

Most of us look at the rise of Hitler and are stunned by the suffering and cruelty. Trump and the oligarchs look at the rise of Hitler and see a playbook to absolute power, suffering and cruelty being the means to achieve it.

Why scientists’ fears about bird flu are intensifying. And unfortunately the clown who mismanaged COVID is in office. www.npr.org/2025/01/27/1...

I just simply don’t understand why Dems are, just as one possibility, in sit down strikes on the floor of the House and Senate. Shut the whole fucking thing down until he rescinds the order. Let the leadership have you arrested. It’s like all of you have forgotten John Lewis.
