My heart is very heavy as I write this. I come from a long line of military service. I lost 2 uncles in WWII - one on Iwo Jima, and one shot down over Germany. My father lost a leg. My mother was a nurse. When I turned 18, I volunteered for the US Air Force, and went to Vietnam. Bear with me. 1/x

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Attributed to Mark Twain: You take the lies out of him, and he'll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he'll disappear.

A trifecta.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Right On...

All they want to leave for us is kibbles and bits while they feast upon the toil of the commoners.

You know what’s fucked up? Click bait accounts like Occupy Democrats copying other people’s posts then posting them as their own. Stop supporting these thieves. This has 18,400 shares on Facebook. That’s deplorable.

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…

Oh my… @joyannreid.bsky.social will sign off her show tonight for the last time 😭😭😭 She is a port in the shit-storm Hope you like my drawing (from 2020)

Just in case you’re planning a visit.

Potentially hundreds of thousands of people in San Antonio, Texas have now been exposed to measles. The City of San Antonio Metropolitan Health District has announced that an individual visiting from Gaines County in West Texas during Valentine’s Day weekend later tested positive for…

So true. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💙💛💪

Maddow: That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programing changes, presumably because it's not the right way to treat people and it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work

President Zelenskyy is a true leader and worthy of profound respect. This is not something that the insecure, emotionally damaged Traitor Tot in the Oval Office would ever say…

“Meanwhile, AIDS clinics shuttered and staff found themselves stranded in unstable countries such as Congo. A pregnant woman in an undisclosed country has sued the Trump administration because she was denied a medevac helicopter.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Plus Joy and Lester Holt? Looks like the slide deck of a Power Point presentation at an employment discrimination webinar. Not a good look @msnbc.com Not a good look at all. A betrayal of your loyal audience & a disaster for your network. www.thedailybeast.com/new-msnbc-bl...

The irony is UNREAL. What I find comically pathetic is how so many of these jackwagons are now acting like they are so surprised they are being screwed over by their Orange Poop and his Muskler. It is so amazing how they believe these things were only going to be for brown people. Lmmfao #america

Are we really going to FAFO with the damn Bermuda Triangle?

Not. One. Vote. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedem.bsky.social The GOP owns this disaster. Do not bail them out. Not. One. Vote.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

PUSH BACK! PLEASE!

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

Today in Black History: On Feb. 24, 2020, scientist and mathematician Katherine Johnson died. She calculated trajectories for the Mercury and Apollo missions. She was portrayed in the movie “Hidden Figures.” She broke racial and gender barriers. #BlackHistoryMonth

Current young adults and future generations will never know the nail-biting excitement of writing a check for a bill that you don’t have money for, sending it through the mail, and then relying on your direct deposit to hit before that check does. It was a better rush than drugs.

Canada in fact HAS agreed with the US, to rename the Gulf of Mexico!!!

The Texas Department of State Health Services confirmed at least 90 cases of measles in the South Plains region of the state. At least 90 confirmed cases of a rapidly growing outbreak — across seven counties. Only five of the 90 patients had been vaccinated. The outbreak has resulted in 16…

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.
