I believe in Democracy. I believe in creating a more perfect union according to our Constitution. I believe in love, compassion, empathy, and being the change you want to see in the world. I despise authoritarian dictators and wanna-bes.

Girls night get together at friends home consists of meatballs and sausages, BYO drinks-white Russians for me-and I made extra special Brownies and so naturally we had to watch Cheech and Chongs #UpInSmoke. Classic.

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Don't hate me, but I really don't believe beer should be dark and opaque. I've never met a dark beer that I liked. Golden brews only for me.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Yes great point!

musk's private security deputized by u.s. marshals service -- potentially clearing the way for his personal bodyguards to be carrying weapons on federal grounds. um... www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

New on MSNBC: Enrique Tarrio, the ex-Proud Boys leader granted clemency by Trump last month, has been arrested outside the U.S. Capitol and charged with allegedly assaulting a female protester.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Other than boycotting businesses and calling representatives, have you found solid ways to resist the regime? I want to do more but I’m struggling on deciding what that “what” should be.

"...eliminated positions for employees who have played a role in assessing the brain-implant technology in Elon Musk’s Neuralink devices." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/h...

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

#YorkshireGold tea time

NEW: “The first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Donald Trump, the Justice Department confirmed.” Because who cares about accountability in law enforcement, amirite? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

“What’s the point of fighting cybercrime if we’re just going to give access for government networks to people with cybercriminal gang affiliations?” www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

1 hr into this new day, watching my local news station, not cable news, local news where they barely touch on subjects of great depth, & I'm already reaching for my xanax. America is fucked up. There's plenty of "amerikkkans" who really support all of it. I've lost friends but I won'tose my morals.

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

Chris Murphy: "This deal that Donald Trump just cut with the mayor of New York -- it's a big deal ... they did that out in the open on TV because it's a signal to everybody else out there that the law will be applied differently to you if you are loyal to the president."

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

I cannot think of anything more profoundly un-American than a president declaring himself a “king”

So many threads to pull here; the atrocious grasp of history & geopolitik, the glib lie about how the war in Ukraine began, the disgraceful abandonment of European allies. But it’s the alignment with the war criminal Putin, no friend of ours, that sticks out. What won’t Trump do to harm us?

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

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"

I don't really want to hear you whine about staffing, when you all who are working there create a toxic & DEADLY environment. Decent people wont join a violent gang even if it is legal. We need massive prison reform so that good people can work there. I don't believe it needs to be what it is now

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Jim Moran (Kansas) and Steve Daines (Mont.) were all co-sponsors of this law. None responded to requests for comment."

Brain genius Alex Spiro writes to Judge Ho denying he asked for a quid pro quo on Adams’s behalf, and attaches a letter to Emil Bove that (imo) fairly clearly lays one out.

Wherein Elon says the quiet, corrupt part out loud: He intends to steal the private IRS data of his political enemies. How soon before he does the same to his economic competitors? Or you?
