In less than two years, Bird Flu has seemingly leaped across various mammalian species, causing death and havoc at a frequency never before seen. This is grave, worrisome news requiring a serious, urgent response, akin to the leadership @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is demonstrating in CA.

They defunded schools, underpaid teachers, let kids get shot, told you college and healthcare for all is a scam and can’t be free—and now you’re blaming immigrants? The real thieves are laughing at you.

I thought you should know that in 2024 New Jersey, Minnesota, Illinois, California, and Maryland have all enacted legislation that bans book bans & censorship in both, school and public libraries, and protects librarians.

Undocumented immigrants paid $7 Billion in taxes last year. Nearly all immigrants who are in the U.S. without permanent legal status pay social security payroll taxes without claiming benefits. But sure, let’s mass deport them, then complain about SS viability. www.marketwatch.com/story/your-s...

They still don't get it. Trump doesn't want to "discard legacy media," he wants it to do his bidding. That is why he is bragging about having "tamed" it. I wrote about this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/dona...

I invite any reporter to ask Trump to explain how the debt ceiling works. I'm serious. Just ask him to explain it to the people. I bet you he can't.

Last night Timothy Snyder talked with Rachel about the idea of a shadow government to serve as a model and reminder of what is possible from a government of qualified people instead of Fox guests and family members. It came up twice, actually. Here's 1 of 2.

"I will not repeal settled law" - Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett "I support women in the military" - Hegseth "I have nothing against vaccines" - RFK Jr. They lie to get confirmed. We know they're lying. Yet they get confirmed anyway. Every confirmation should require passing a lie detector test.

"Trump already has shifted the balance of power between the media and the presidency before even taking office. This is a significant and deeply troubling development..." Harry Litman writes on ABC's capitulation to Trump.

To much fanfare, Trump announced today that SoftBank was going to invest $50 billion in the US because they had confidence in Trump. Except the two of them made the same announcement after Trump won in 2016. And it never happened.

The $50 billion 2016 promise by the very charming Son to Trump was underwhelming but not as much of a nothing burger as the 2017 Foxconn $10 billion factory one. All smoke and lots of mirrors just doubled www.nytimes.com/2024/12/16/u...

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting. This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

I'm trying to put my finger on what's happening with this great capitulation to Trump -- ABC News, Chris Wray, the Democrats signing up to work with DOGE, Mark Benioff, etc. It's like you can feel the air going out of an entire social order.

Put Adam McKay on it. He managed to make the driest parts of “The Big Short” pop, and the credits for “The Other Guys” have one of the clearest breakdowns of the financial meltdown

It's unsurprising that there is reporting about Trump changing his tune on Project 2025 & supporting parts of it. Last August when he said he'd never read it, I did a little research & wrote about the connectivity. joycevance.substack.com/p/more-lies-...
