This. Is. Insane.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Our Civilization Crumbling

An important point to keep in mind.

The only lawful response to a court order you don’t like is to request reconsideration or file an appeal. Ignoring it is not an option afforded by our constitution.

Why Musk was driven to shutdown USAID… Thanks, @rbreich.bsky.social

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

The official Prince estate account on FB posted this an hour back. This sadly clearly means that Ezra Edelman's nine-hour documentary, which would have provided a truly all around portrait of him rather than a gloss, will never surface. And that's a damn shame.

Marko Elez, an Elon Musk staffer with access to the Treasury Department’s sensitive payments system, has quit after racist and pro-eugenics posts surfaced, including one stating, ‘Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.’

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

ABC News reported Marco Rubio has been acting as head of the National Archives for weeks. This is news to everyone at the National Archives, including, apparently, the current head of NARA: www.404media.co/national-arc...

You voted for a psychopath.

It's a war. Do all Democrats know that? Some are certainly rushing to the frontlines. youtube.com/shorts/IlmDU...

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

Trump has evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan a star admiral from her home with 3 hrs of notice Border security & an “excessive focus” on diversity, equity are inclusion among the reasons cited for her dismissal. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Photos from today’s NJ11 Indivisible rally at Senator Booker’s Newark Office.

This headline should actually say IN AN ACT OF TREASON, THE CIA PUT A TARGET ON THE BACKS OF EMPLOYEES AS PART OF THE ONGOING COUP.

The way Republicans have been voting to approve OBVIOUS, unfit buffoons like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr proves that either they think those cabinet positions are utterly meaningless, or they're just too cowardly to stand up to trump for anything. Or both.

Endorsing the crime of ethnic cleansing.

That news is expected does not make it not an atrocity. Anyone hitherto uncomfortable with the g-word can conceptualize what the Trail of Tears was, yes? And that you don't just STEAL SOMEONE'S LAND and SEND THEM (where, exactly??) and turn it into a golf course or whateverthefuckever? K.

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

Good scoop from @nlanard.bsky.social: Trump’s pick for counterrorism called for arresting BLM leaders as terrorists. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Trump administration is still freezing many climate and infrastructure grants despite two separate federal court orders barring it from doing so.

BREAKING: This morning E.P.A. employees received an email notifying them of that the agencywide intranet was out of service. Without the internal agency network, employees cannot access documents or other information needed for their jobs, according to the NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/c...

BREAKING: Trump has signed an executive order creating a Sovereign Wealth Fund- popular with Middle East monarchies - so the U.S. can buy TikTok. That’s state-run media, folks. www.reuters.com/markets/weal...

Kash Patel should not lead the FBI. Take action right now to block his nomination: Text FBI to 644-33 to send your senators a message.

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. Nor will you find any courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow and scrape before Trump. That leaves only the courts. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/cour...

Imagine if -prosecutors who brought cases against Hunter Biden were purged -Soros employees took control of govt. payment and personnel systems -Executive order redefined 2nd Amendment by fiat -Every violent crime during a BLM protest was pardoned -People paid Biden millions for favorable treatment

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
