We are all in this together. 🌍🤗

Vaccines are so effective they have practically eradicated some of the worst diseases, from rabies to polio and smallpox—a fact that has possibly fooled some into believing that the viruses and their complications aren’t a significant threat for the average, health-conscious individual.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

‼️Journalists - pick this up‼️ “United States Marine Corps veteran, VA disability rating, federal probationary employee that was 6 days away from end of probation, with an Outstanding Performance Review rating…I was illegally terminated.” old.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

no one is coming to save you. people are only coming to kill you and take all of your stuff

True believers are #MadeInJersey. Pete Steinkopf and @/BouncingSoulsNJ are proof of that. Get to know more about the founder of this legendary Jersey band. #NJDevils

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Call to Action: Elon Musk protest. Fort Lauderdale, Florida. February 22 at 1:30PM. #3E #USProtest #TeslaTakeover #ProtestFL #Feb22

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

O gracious light, pure brightness of the ever-living Father in heaven. Now as we come to the setting of the sun and our eyes behold the vesper light, we sing sing your praises o God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit ⚓️

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

Republicans are slashing Medicaid to pay for tax cuts that disproportionately serve the wealthy. The top 1% will get an average of $70,000. How does that make sense? My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

Our about-to-be next FBI director just called journalism “the most powerful enemy the US has ever seen.”

...and female M&Ms, and rainbows, and Mr. Potatohead, and Barbie, and a beer can, and a Starbucks cup, and "Happy Holidays", and Taylor Swift existing, and a free press, and non-white mermaids, and masks, and accountability, and female ghostbusters, and... and... and...

Yes 👇

Get er done!

Stephen Miller just said on CNN that DOGE staff are employees of the government and are properly authorized. Where is there oath of office and background investigation?

Tesla sales are crashing in Europe.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...
