IMPORTANT REMINDER: All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated. Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations. The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump. And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

Former KGB spy breaks cover to reveal Donald Trump was recruited as a Russian spy 38 years ago. Byline Times was subjected to a DDOS attack to prevent this story being published. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Honest question: Why are people obeying DOGE?

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

New accusations emerged that Matt Schlapp, the Conservative Political Action Conference chairman, had groped a man at a bar in Virginia during a gathering of conservatives.

Causing "global catastophe" will be judged one day as crimes against humanity. A reckoning will come. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Okay they fixed it 🙄

Please proceed to the cashier’s window to collect your winnings. Thank you and congratulations on your successful wager

Schlapp groped bar customer, per sheriff's report www.24sight.news/p/schlapp-gr...

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

A former Soviet intelligence officer has claimed Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov" Who would have guessed www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Guarding a concentration camp isn't the kind of thing most people want to sign up for. Along with a racist effort to purge officers who aren’t white, military recruiting is going to tank and the ensuing national security crisis will be entirely self-inflicted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Now that Steve Bannon is a convicted felon on conditional release, he's ready to go full Nazi. Who did not see that coming?

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

Kudos to Mr Rowe 👏👏. Me thinks, he will find a few new fans in the States, with this fine effort, of a despotic megalomaniac riding an old & very stubborn mule.

Bizzaro DEI!

“This week, Donald Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting a war against a much larger neighbor,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “The U.S. president has now chosen to throw America to Putin’s side … Repeating lies, however, does not make them true.”

More CFPB news: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's employees have been told that the bureau's Washington HQ lease is cancelled and the agency has 30 days to vacate the building www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Please for the love of Dog get off X, people. You're not resisting. You're supporting a fascist.

Behold, the face of ignorant evil!

Twitter is not a proper social media site. It's a Nazi site that boosts Nazis.

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

Mafia type extortion in plain sight

#PearlHarbor #citizenoutrage The reaction of citizens to this overt abuse by Trump and his Republican sycophant lawmakers, reminds me of what Admiral Yamamoto said after Pearl Harbor - "We ha awoken a sleeping giant".

#trump #federalcuts #corruption #USPS #takeovers Trump is pretty open (much more so than in the past) about taking over everything like e.g. the USPS to help his election perversion efforts, and yet a moronic mass of the American public seems to shrug their shoulders and say Eh!!!

#musk #elonmusk #firings I do not understand why so many department heads resign just because Elon Musk tells them to!

They're not negotiating! They are extorting Ukraine! It's what a Mafia boss does to a small business.

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Hey farmers!!! Going to vote for Trump again?

Trump’s EO ruining the independence of federal agencies shows the real goal of Musk and Trump is not efficiency or even winning the culture wars. It’s thievery. And they are *exceptional* thieves. My latest in @thenation.com

Fuck Marco Rubio.

Only an f***ING moron would believe this horseshit that Ukraine started the war! Can ANYONE be that stupid???

#Republicans #GOPSenators #confirmationhearings #cowardice #cowards #TrumpNominees This is part of a series of Republican Senators who have acted in a cowardly & unAmerican way, to bend over for Trump & his dangerous nominations. Please share this widely. More to follow every day.

@rolf-menzinger.bsky.social My brother and I came to Hamburg on our way to participate in Kiel Week (Keiler Woche) in 1982 - we were sailing 470's and I don't know where we finished but it was WAAAY back! :-)
