BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I’ve long believed that the American media would be more clear-eyed about the return and actions of wanna-be dictator Donald Trump and the coup by Musk if it was happening overseas in a foreign country. Here's the story the US should be writing this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

Destroying the CDC team researching Lyme disease. Disbanding the HHS Long COVID council. Cutting Medicaid. How is any of this cost-saving? This is not about efficiency. It’s about funding tax breaks for billionaires while costing Americans their health. www.9news.com/article/news...

He nails it.

Oh my God if this is true

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

As if water companies polluting our rivers wasn’t bad enough, criminal gangs are now dumping illegal waste on our beaches for profit. Illegal tipping is a multi-million-pound industry destroying our environment. Regulators have failed to act, where’s the accountability?

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

We are about to hear a lot more of this from people who have all benefited from higher education

Happy Presidents Day Leon

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

Will they ever stop saying that fool was elected with a mandate! Mainstream Media needs to get this right!

Happy Presidents Day ✨💥✨

Objective 1: Neuter IRS enforcement of tax law so the ultra-wealthy like Musk can pay $0 with no consequences. Objective 2: Get the private information of Trump's perceived enemies so he can target them for aggressive audits. Objective 3: Like always, break stuff and harm people.

‘This is a coup’: Trump and Musk’s purge is cutting more than costs, say experts In slashing staff and disabling entire agencies the administration is lacerating the structures of US democracy www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Unbelievably horrific

CDC’s public health associate program (PHAP) was destroyed this weekend. All trainees terminated. PHAP stations young public health workers in state, local, territorial, and tribal health departments to train in and provide technical assistance for surveillance, communications, lab work, and more.

Who does firing the employees of our National Parks Services help?

IRS reportedly preparing to give Musk’s Doge agency access to taxpayer data

This guy was once banned from Twitter by Musk for posting child exploitation photos. He spread the crazy conspiracy that Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin raped/abused little girls & used their skin as masks. Now he’s invited to the Trump White House. No words. You can’t even do an ‘Imagine if Biden…’

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

As a reference, the $46B that Meta spent building this shit is about the same amount of money Spain used to built its WHOLE high speed rail network. All 2469 miles of it. Zuckerberg got that money selling shitty ads and destroying democracy, and gave the world this.
