Awwwww, HELL NO!

DOGE is the most ridiculous governmental “agency” since the Ministry of Silly Walks.

Forget Trump - he is a tool. But even if Jesus Himself acted the same way as Agent Orange, I would have to say, “Lord, you got no business doing this!” And help plan.for a graceful exit.

Fun fact: When you see the "R" next to the names of people like Mike Johnson, Tommy Tuberville and Lindsey Graham, it stands for "Russia." #ItsACoup

THEY WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO ISRAEL Ukraine is being treated as though it is the enemy. It’s another example of the loathing this administration has for Ukraine for getting in the way of its relationship with Putin. The decent people of Ukraine are being used in a game this administration plays

HEY DONALD! We got your number!

@mcfaulmike.bsky.social: “Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.”

Values like justice, fairness, equality, and freedom, are now anathema to the right. Probably because they know that they can’t fairly compete in a society run by those values.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Trump has successfully seeded his own downfall, and the complete destruction of his cult. The fruits of MAGAs labors may appear, at first, bountiful and wondrous. Unfortunately, for them, the underlying rot will soon appear, and their fruits tossed in a waste bin. Enjoy.

Well, kind of like before the elections, I am asking, OK, so you have a problem. And it’s a real problem. What have you done to solve it? The solutions begin at home.

Words alone cannot capture the depth of emotion in this testimony. A voice from the past, once fighting against extremism and fascism, now speaks with heartbreak as history threatens to repeat itself. Watch, listen, and reflect.

I would say smoke and mirrors, but the cult will believe it, even without. Every MAGA member of Congress needs to go.

It is saddening that we have come to this fascistic state. God forgive them for they know not what they do.

A US effort to sink a draft UN resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine failed today after European countries and Kyiv marshaled support for strong language against Moscow. The General Assembly passed the resolution with 93 countries voting in favor. The US & Russia both voted against it.

I’m an American patriot who stands with the brave people of Ukraine. 🇺🇦 I despise Trump and Putin!!

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

The GOP is a party of bullies, quislings, and ignorant beings who try to pass themselves off as human. They don’t do a very good job on the latter. Shameful.

It’s FUKKKING tiring already!

I want her m, and all of his quisling sycophants to be impeached and disqualified from office. Trump and Musk need jail time.

mattlabash.substack.com/p/our-new-pa... This is worth a read. We all must steel our spinss a bit more.

Universities and academic medical centers are reeling from a directive by the Trump administration to slash funding for medical research, which doctors and scientists say will have a devastating effect on studies aimed at finding treatments for diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
