Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

The Ukrainian community is rallying at the Lincoln Memorial marking three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Speakers have already pushed back against Trump’s views of Zelenskyy, asserting that the real dictator “lives in Moscow.”

It was the worst of times, it was the holy smokes how much worse are things gonna get of times.

It occurred to me that firing thousands of highly skilled, highly knowledgeable people, some of whom had access to highly secret information, and now have grievances and an urgent need for money, might be considered a security risk. Like, a big one.

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

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

Last night we were getting into the car to go to the library and my daughter was like "Dad how did.... Donald Trump get elected" and I legitimately had to explain "The Apprentice" to her

This is pretty straightforward authoritarianism: if you don't support my toxic businesses, I will use my government power to kneecap yours.

Trump is dismantling America's defenses against Russian intelligence and political-warfare operations as he allies himself with Putin against Ukraine and our NATO allies. He is openly inviting a Russian attack on Europe -- and the subversion of American democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

39% of the detainees disappeared to the Guantanamo offshore prison were deemed "low threat" by the Trump administration. Some of the individuals being detained at Guantanamo did not cross illegally, legally requesting asylum at a port of entry.

White people can end this anytime they want to. Period.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

By the way, people should understand that the admin doesn't have to shoot or gas people to kill them. If you pile people in military-run camps in Gitmo and the Panamanian jungle without adequate food or healthcare and just wait, people will die

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

They think this is fine.

🚨Senator Tammy Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed House budget resolution & paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid." Medicaid affects 70M+ Americans. THIS WOULD BE DEVASTATING!🚨

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

It's kind of remarkable that the US spent like 15 trillion dollars on the military since the cold war ended and Putin won with some dudes posting on Facebook and Twitter.

The context is that Trump is Putin’s bitch.

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston is temporarily closed after Elon Musk fired members of its staff.

This new EO is a doozy, clearly written to test the constitutionality of independent agencies at the SCt. It purports to effectively bring all independent agencies - including the Fed Election Cmsn and the Fed (in part) under presidential control. Irreconcilable w/existing law full stop. /1

BREAKING: Almost everything

The definition of government waste: destroying goods or ending services that have already been purchased

“Imagine just how apoplectic Lee would be — calling real press conferences, introducing real legislation and having real congressional hearings — if a Democrat were taking this many liberties with the Constitution,” writes George Pyle.

Please watch this whole video about changing your expectations. We need everyone to show up IN PERSON to nationwide protests & congressional office visits. It will take sacrifice & be uncomfortable, getting us out of our daily routines of going to work, etc. www.instagram.com/reel/DGG7x60...

So, they are - illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress - burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah - reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system - putting backdoors into Treasury This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.

Elon Musk, taking over the US government.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

Spot on.

We have heard that the entire flu resources section of website is going down tonight. You can check your local health dept for information about flu. We will update as we learn more.

This is not a good combination of trending topics 😬

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

Interesting band names for our moment in history.
