Joseph Stalins Great Purge

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

The 'find out' phase is here.

My toofless angel. (Francie needed to have full dental extraction done a few years ago due to a condition called stomatitis. Toothless cats do great and they can eat dry food and treats just fine!)

King Trump vows to shutter the @USPS and have Amazon handle all US. In return, shit-eater @JeffBezos bends the knee & begs to be the world’s first trillionaire. King Musk is furious as he wants to be the first to reach that milestone. We are at a standstill. More to come.

Next, purge the military to install loyalists. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

JUST IN: HNL Lab Medicine will begin subtyping all positive influenza A samples from hospitalized patients to detect H5N1 bird flu.

“If FBI agents who are just doing their jobs aren’t free of the risk of political prosecution, then who is? In a country run by a president who has accumulated all power into his own hands, you never know who might run afoul of the leader’s good graces.” joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Laguna Beach is an art colony. We support the arts. Chip Bok is the brilliant award-winning political cartoonist that created this artwork.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

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.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Had some leftover cinnamon rolls, so popped one in the microwave to warm it back up and then topped it with some good vanilla ice cream and caramel topping.

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

It’s a cult.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Not sure we should take Tracy Flick’s word for it. Not that she would know if he was using the data or not. Why not have an independent team assuring us of that possibility if it is all so clean and locked down? www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

This has been my point for weeks about what Musk is after. Consolidated data from the biggest mine of information in the world. He’s so thirsty for data he’d get his hands on the nuclear codes if he could. Could he? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

Sure hope so. (art by Dave Tarnowski)

I used @5calls.org to call Rep Troy Balderson and Senators Husted & Bernie Moreno today I asked them if we could count on them to protect Medicaid All 3 offices replied "I can't say" "I CAN'T SAY?! AKFKM? This is one of the most urgent matters of the day FFS! #OHpol #Ohio

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Happy Friday! This is the resistance. Cause some Good Trouble today!

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

It was always Rand Paul’s destiny to be the last man to board the political Titanic and the first one to shove a woman out of the way to take the last seat on a lifeboat.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

JUST HITTING THE DOCKET: Judge Ho has entered an Order wherein he appoints Paul Clement as an amicus (a friend of the court to stand in the shoes of the former DOJ attorneys who were on this case) to argue its Motion to Dismiss. He adjourned Adams’ trial & terminated all pending trial deadlines.

And who they didn't like

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

This is really something
