I once had a colleague who was a malignant narcissist. I ended up in a meeting with him and two administrators. That meeting went about according to the script of Trump's and Vance's with Zelenskyy today. I went to my office and wept bitterly. And I was not responsible for the lives of a nation.

Striking how easily you can get millions of people to vote for a boot on their own face just by lying to them about the boot going on someone else's face.

The protest in Honolulu was very well attended. This report gives too much time to the few Trumpers there. Over a thousand people for diversity and equity and education and opposed to Musk's rampage through the govt. www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/02/18/e...

The Trump administration is literally just shipping brown people out of the US. They don't care if they are sent back to their home countries or not. Or if they separate families forever. This is so much worse than last time.

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.

🚨NEW: VoteVets Senior Advisor LTC (Ret.) Alex Vindman sounds the alarm. SecDef Hegseth’s decision to block Ukraine from NATO is a full capitulation to Putin—emboldening Russian aggression and putting U.S. Troops at risk. This isn’t “America First.” It’s Russia First.

Hegseth just revoked all gender affirming hormone therapy for trans active duty service members - effectively trapping them because you can't just quit the military. All while stating our trans service members will be treated with "dignity and respect."

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Honolulu. I went to the protest at the Capitol today. It was well attended. A young man next to me told his friends that his cousin was deported to Brazil recently. No criminal record. He's heard reports that ICE was at UH the other day.

Murphy: "The reality is this could get dystopian very quickly. If you were to start speaking ill of Elon Musk on social media, Musk might be able to stop or delay your tax refund, or your mom's Social Security benefit, in part because we have no window into what's happening at Treasury right now."
