The ‘real’ reason they are gutting the IRS…👇 Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?!

I wrote about the devastating 2004 tsunami and the hidden lessons it teaches us about why DOGE and Elon Musk are wilfully amplifying catastrophic risk. www.forkingpaths.co/p/doge-and-t...

There's nothing slow-motion about it. We ride.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Black mask egg heists. Eggs being smuggled like coke. Every time I think we’ve reached the silliest part of the simulation, it says hold my beer. Next they finna cut open watermelons and find eggs. Eggs Seized At Border. A real headline. This place is not f*cking real it can’t be 😭

That threatening MF.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

From the Charleston, WV, Gazette-Mail, Thursday, February 20, 2025:

the fact that there are people who seem to think that the funds he is stealing from the american people by stripping away all their rights and protections are somehow going to go to them and not directly into his bank accounts makes me want to smash my head against a wall

I look forward to the day when a Democratic president posts “Half of this country is too stupid to breathe, and business owners can eat my ass” and the Times covers it with this kind of equanimity

They're opening the door wide for Putin.

SCOOP: On his second day as HHS secretary, RFK Jr., the onetime environmentalist, killed climate change programs at NIH that research and prepare for the health effects of extreme weather and a warming planet. This is not going to make Americans healthy. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I don’t know what to call this but flamboyantly evil.

Pretty sad. Just got the email that CZI is canceling the second round of Diversity Leadership Awards. Private industry will definitely not fill the hole that NIH and NSF are leaving. 😢💔

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

@proudstoic.bsky.social thanks for the follow back, John!

Congrats to @axios.com, which now finds itself in a league with Fox News — as contrasted to the AP, NYT and Washpost. Now that’s what we call “smart brevity.” apnews.com/article/trum...

Here is the current recommended vaccine schedule. Please share, bookmare, or save for anyone for whom this may be helpful in the future. And never forget that RFK Jr. blatantly lied to Congress.

@katmacisme.bsky.social thanks for the follow, Kat!

MAGA MELTDOWN!!!!!!!

Hey Elon, do you want to know why humanity isn’t going to Mars in your lifetime? It’s because of YOU 🤡👇
