A good piece. You should read www.dailykos.com/story/2025/2...

The very definition of fascism www.npr.org/2025/02/22/n...

The fascist totally took over the pentagon and control of the military last night. They fired the top jag officers. They fired a bunch of generals, including the chief of staff. The proposed new chief of staff has no combat experience nor any real operational experience. The coup is complete

Cutting $2.3 trillion from Medicaid will abandon seniors in long-term care & bankrupt families. Republicans don't care about the human cost — they only care about their billionaire donors' profits. #DontCutMyMedicaid

INDISPUTABLE FACTS: •Russia invaded Ukraine. •Ukraine bears no responsibility for Russia’s invasion. •Russian aggression is a threat to the entire world. •We stand with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We stand w/all the people of Ukraine. Follow all: WE ARE THE OPPOSITION. go.bsky.app/AMZH6uh

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

What if your mom was diagnosed with breast cancer & Medicaid could have saved her life, but Republicans cut it? This isn't just a budget cut, it's a death sentence for thousands of mom's... #DontCutMyMedicaid

The GOP Tax Scam is here. MAGA wants to take $880 BILLION from healthcare - (that's 92 million people) so that the rich can buy more yachts... This is the budget Trump prefers, despite his “promises” to leave Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security alone. Call your electeds! #DontCutMyMedicaid

I hate these fuckin assholes!!!

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

After stopping New York City from carrying out a previously approved congestion pricing program, Donald Trump bragged about the outcome on social media, calling himself a “king” on official White House social media.

Awful: Numerous scientists and researchers were just fired at NIH's center for treating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They fear Trump-Musk cuts could dramatically set back our ability to treat dementias. New reporting from me here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

Heaven knows I love me some Pete, and it was fun to see his Presidential campaign grow from a two person show, but I think his calling right now might be to lead a movement. Some roles are bigger than electoral politics. #MISEN #Buttigieg

Keep going, people. www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025...

Cutting federal health programs *COSTS* us money, not “just” in worsened health outcomes. The chart shows return on investment for numerous programs. Ex. Flu vaccines for seniors returns $60 in reduced costs per every $1 invested in the program. Poor health is expensive!

In TN and MS 20% of the residents are on Medicaid. Thats 1.4 million people in TN and 600k in MS

Fucking wow

We are a sick nation. The world needs to boycott all things american, or rather than north american oblast of the russian federation. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Speaking like a true mafia boss, Trump threatens Zelensky that if Ukraine doesn’t agree a natural resources deal with the USA, “things are gonna not make him happy”. Putin couldn’t have said it better himself. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Do you understand it yet? This is fascism and dictatorships calling card. Cruelty. Chaos and cruelty create pain, which helps them rule, not govern. www.alternet.org/the-cruelty-...

Wanted to re-share my MSNBC appearance in July 2024 warning Project 2025 was Trump/GOP's version of Mein Kampf. Trump didn't write it but he would follow it if he won. Plus I noted US Supreme Court at the time was already helping implement Project 2025 with immunity ruling for Trump

Trump teaming up with Putin now to carve up Europe is like in Aug 1939 when Hitler agreed with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin on carving up Poland and the Baltics into German and Russian spheres of influence. World War II began just one week after the deal when both nations attacked Poland.

Don’t forget 25 Russians were indicted for interfering with the 2016 election as a result of the Mueller Investigation. They engaged in a campaign to get Trump elected by impersonating Americans online to spread misinformation and hacking into the DNC computers.

Has Putin also ordered Trump to cut the US military down to the point where we can't stand up to Russia? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Ahh....

Before the measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, the U.S. saw ~3-4 million cases per year. Now, it’s generally < 200 in a normal year. The vaccine works. Measles is HIGHLY contagious—up to 9 out of 10 people who are susceptible will get the virus if exposed. While most #BlueSky #MedSky #IDSky

Vaccines save lives. Share widely. #PedSky #MedSky #Pediatrics #Vaccinessavelives

Someone commented on my TikTok that I probably need new meds if I'm still in bed despite being on them. I told them I hope they become chronically ill and disabled. 🙃🫠 I would never say this normally, but the gloves are off. I am done going high. I am done being nice. Fuck them all. #spoonie #medsky

This is a picture of my son taken soon after he was born. I suffered from a very rare pregnancy complication. But thanks to physicians at the University of Michigan and a lot of US funded research, he was born healthy. Please post, who has Science Saved for you? #WhoScienceSaves #MedSky

www.science.org/content/arti... go ahead and let your patients know if they wish cutting edge treatment for a variety of conditions that may not be possible or accessible to them #medsky #Blackmedsky

Wise words from one of the few politicians Americans can still trust. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

To hell with your hatred, Mr. Trump. This is not who we are. We are not hell-makers for other people. We aren't going to be defined by the pain we manufacture for one another, by the people we exclude, by the burdens we pile on the already-burdened. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-hell-wi...

I'd bet cash money that he cut a deal to get a private mail delivery contract, and to hand over his project to electrify the USPS truck fleet to Tesla in exchange for his resignation. Just a hunch.
