Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

Professor Eddie S. Glaude: “The irony, he holds a Black History Month Reception as he’s issued all these executive orders around DEI. Touts the importance of Black folk to the history of the country mentioning Tiger Woods, Kobe guess that’s what we’re reduced to, athletics entertainment I suppose.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

He nails it.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

Erasing the truth because that’s what nazis do

It really fucking burns me that Hoffman, Joplin, Ledger, Belushi, Hendrix, and all those folks die of drug overdoses but this freak keeps on chugging.

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.

Is Elon the Spokesman or Don Jr?

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.

How was this contract awarded??!

In todays edition of Self-owns

Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, and Gaza could not immediately be reached for comment

“We are alarmed how quickly the business community has given in to the current administration’s retaliatory threats. It is not ‘illegal’ for a company to create a business model based on what it believes to be important ethical and business standards.”

Fuck this guy.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

The incompetent engineers at SpaceX who create aircraft that explode after takeoff are going to take control of the FAA to make aviation safer. Nothing to see. Everything is fine. GIRL, TAKE GREYHOUND!!!

WTAF?!?

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

"Canada has the longest total coastline in the world, therefore we are well within our rights to rename our major oceans. Henceforth, the Pacific Ocean will be known as Poutine Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean as Hockey Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean as the Gulf of Brian Adams." - PM Trudeau

I was utterly blown away by the Oscar-nominated doc SUGARCANE. A deeply personal look into the lasting generational effects of the atrocities committed by the Catholic Church against Indigenous children in their boarding schools, this POWERFUL and IMPORTANT film is a must see!

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

That’s because issuing grants that the DOGE team disagrees with or don’t understand does not constitute fraud.

The question is - can we?

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

All these articles about Democrats moaning over their messaging issues make me tired. You know what's more important than messaging? ACTION. Don't TALK about the price of eggs. Tell people "MEET US IN THE PARK - WE'RE GIVING OUT FREE EGGS. THAT'S RIGHT - FREE EGGS FROM THE DEMOCRATS!"

This is the dumbest timeline. Trump fired a bunch of people that oversee our nukes because he had no idea what they did, so he had to hire them back. More proof this is a hatchet job www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

Show this to a federal worker and let them know how many people support and appreciate them.

Senate Armed Services Chair Senator Roger Wicker torched Pete Hegseth’s speeches at the NATO conference in Munich this week, calling it a “rookie mistake” to tell the summit—and the world—that it would be “unrealistic” for Ukraine to return to its prewar borders.

Proud of prosecutors in SDNY and Washington who resigned rather than carry out DAG Emil Bove’s order to dismiss indictment against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. Integrity > politics and careerism.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Critical reporting.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

House Republicans have released their budget plan, and in order to pay for massive tax cuts for the wealthy, they are planning to slash funding for Medicaid and food stamps.

Elon Musk’s Tesla will receive one of the largest government contracts in 2025 to produce armored vehicles.

Shadow VP…

Every fucking day.
