Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

Feb. 21, 1925 — Smallpox epidemics were popping up and #100yearsagotoday , five anti-vaxxers were arrested in DC. This was on the 20th anniversary of the 1905 Supreme Court case deciding public health is a priority and the willfully unvaccinated can be punished. #retropolis #historymatters #antivax

Feb. 20, 1925 — The Navy’s dirigibles program — “Lighter than air” — was just getting started #100yearsagotoday with a blimp given by Germany as a war reparation. The LosAngeles was the only Naval airship that didn’t crash and flew until 1937. #retropolis #historymatters #zeppelin #airships

Violent clashes continued 22 days after Hitler took power, but the anti-Hitler protests received little coverage. This paragraph was low in a Feb. 21, 1933 AP story. #100daysofHilter #Hitler100days #historymatters

Federal Reserve officials said shifts in trade and immigration policy are among the factors that could derail inflation progress, according to minutes from the central bank's latest policy meeting released today.

Now is the time for our citizenry to fight for our federal workers and national programs. Let’s stand up to the power-mad autocrats, plutocrats and theocrats attacking democracy—at home and abroad. I spoke with @briantylercohen.bsky.social about our historic assignment today.

Oh, look. The House GOP Budget reflects all the evil cuts to Medicaid they said they'd do in Project 2025. Maybe take them literally and seriously.

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I can’t stop thinking about these two headlines

Judge Ho did not decide on the Adams dismissal today. He sounds concerned about the filings from prosecutors who worked on the Adams case who were fired and/or left when Trump took office. We’ll see.

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

Testicles usually drop at around nine months of age. Mike Pence’s took 65 years.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Do you think he’s just really dumb or does he just knowingly lie all the time?

Fixed it for all the twatwaffles & cockwombles

French President Emmanuel Macron is coming to Washington next week, national security adviser Mike Waltz said on Wednesday. It comes on the heels of Trump’s escalating attacks on Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

New piece in @vanityfair.com www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Does anyone know if the assets of an IRA can be held in a foreign (preferably Swiss) bank account? Asking for no particular reason.

My heart breaks at news of another horrific plane crash. I'm praying for the families of the victims & people of Arizona. It's vital the government thoroughly investigate this tragedy to bring peace to the victims and families and protect everyone flying in the US. abcnews.go.com/US/2-dead-af...

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Trump declares himself “king.” Where are real so-called patriots in both chambers? Cowards to my left cowards to my right. About tired of cowards and deafening silence. www.rawstory.com/king-trump/

Secrete Agent Orange is working for Russia

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Jason Carman “My mind is consistently blown that this is a real photo. That little blue dot is Earth! Taken by NASA Cassini–Huygens in 2013.”

The current occupant of the White House and his enablers are experiencing a serious mental health crisis. This message is the definition of delusional, and yet they believe it. America, stand up to this lunatic while you can.

We have no kings here, toilet tweeter.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

"51 employees at CIA and the Office of Director of National Intelligence received calls Friday from their human resources office telling them to report to the visitors center at CIA headquarters in Virginia at 8AM on Tuesday with their badges and without lawyers..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Constant attacks by Felon Trump & Fascist Musk on our institutions, government, democracy & on us can be stopped. Freezing of all federal payments mobilized the entire country, forcing Trump to rescind his order in less than 24 hours. #WeHaveThePower

BREAKING: A plane has crashed in Arizona, leaving at least one person dead.

We have added @trumpgolftrack.com to Bluesky. Please follow and pass on!

Under Republicans, plane crashes are the new school shootings. Thoughts and prayers.

MTA to Feds: Drop dead

How’s this prediction going so far?
