“Putin has wanted to carve the globe up for a long time. Now, at last, Trump is handing him the knife.” And he’s handed Musk a chainsaw to help him carve up a potentially enlarged American Empire, unmoored from the constitutional Rule of Law, unhinged from morality www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

"America could really use a President right now." I have this thought more often than I care to consider recently... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-could-h...

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Michelle Obama: Kids should have nutritious meals. The pro-life party: This is an outrage! RFK Jr: Kids should have measles, mumps, and polio. The pro-life party: Yes, king! Tell it like it is!

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

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.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

We need a Labor Secretary who will be a champion of working families. We need a Labor Secretary who will raise the minimum wage and vigorously defend workers' right to bargain collectively. We need a Labor Secretary who has the courage to stand up to an anti-worker POTUS.

Macron's Oval Office visit was a reminder of what it feels like when there's an honest President in the White House.

We should be adding people & latest technology to make air travel safer- not firing people

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Is this the finding out part?

To have the Supreme Court lowering the bar for 'reverse discrimination' suits is nothing more than privilege and a straight-up slap in the face! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

This book shouldn't be banned 😂

Vox Populi

WANT TO MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY? ✔️ Universal health care ✔️ Vaccines ✔️ Unions

Elon Musk demonstrated today...that the last term Donald Trump served as president was 2016-2020. Now, Donald is a staffer. "Diet Coke, please...Donald!"

Thank you Lawrence O'Donnell for focusing on the crucial work of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Without this crucial consumer watchdog, Americans will be more vulnerable to scams and will face higher costs.

ALERT Measles Outbreak 🚨 #rfkjr #measlesoutbreak

This is evil. Pure evil.

DOGE savings (WSJ): $2.6b TSLA subsidies (10 years): $15b Annual increase in deficit: $900b Cuts to Medicare: $880b

You all should read this book to understand the diverse nexus of right wing players and funders that are actively committed to undoing our democracy for sake of power, money and ideology.

No words.

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

The men told NPR they were kept in the dark about why they were in Guantánamo Bay, and were denied access to an attorney or a phone call with loved ones.

A group calling itself the 3rd Term Project is calling for a Constitutional Amendment to let Trump have a third term in office. This move is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. We should take it seriously. The man who would be king certainly does. joycevance.substack.com/p/speaking-t...
