“Texas Schoolgirl Takes Her Own Life After Bullies Threaten to Call ICE” 2/19/25 www.newsweek.com/texas-school...

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Ketchup On Walls Alert: HIGH

Howdy folks, My apologies for not being here. I have been very busy and in the middle of planning my move coming soon. I do plan on leaving X and coming here around the first of March.

Thank you! We see you and appreciate you all! 💚 Today, protesters gather outside the Office of Personnel Management in Washington, D.C.

Sadly, this is totally relevant to Americans today.

THIS is how you communicate, folks

“.. I leave you with this quote from former US Navy pilot Jack McCain, son of the late Senator John McCain:” (via @bloomberg.com)

Omg just got an email that 2 of the 3 paintings that I submitted to The Art of Planetary Science show won awards! I won 2nd place in fine art and 3rd place for the themed category (Mars). Haven’t won an award for my art since I was a kid in 4-H 🥹

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel: "Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th." BOOM! 🔥

Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't. "I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage … and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues."

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

Thou shalt not let RFK Jr. be in charge of health, or anything.

Acting EPA Administrator James Payne has dismissed all members of two of the agency’s most influential science advisory panels, allowing the Trump administration to reshape them.

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia just accomplished something huge: they overcame Amazon's union-busting tactics and voted to form the store's first union in over four decades. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

Hitler built concentration camps in Germany because he didn’t have access to Guantánamo Bay.

2025 eggs are the new 2020 toilet paper.

Throwing the Nazi salute doesn’t make you a funny troll. It makes you a fucking Nazi.

I can’t believe American voters are making us look at that face and hear that voice for another four years. Fuck you guys.

We are watching Project 2025 come to life. Thankfully, pro-democracy groups are fighting back in the courts. @democracydocket.com's 16-person team tracks these lawsuits so you don't have to. Support their work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

We updated TrumpGolfTrack.com to include the price of eggs and gas per your request. And a nice little home screen icon. More to come 🤣

That time arrived a long while ago. The question now is whether Democratic leaders fully understand and will act accordingly.

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” @governorwalz.mn.gov We told you. We told you. We told you.

How have we even gotten to this point?

Kamala Harris did an amazing job braking through the white patriarchy as a Black woman. She is a hero and is to be celebrated. Defeating the pompous white supremacist is no easy task — especially in an ignorant, sexist, racist society. She is an American Hero.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Hi, I’m God. I don’t care how you fight Nazis as long as you fight them.

Sloppy. We’ve been told they better prepared & well organized for 2.0 but I’m seeing a lot of cracks in the facade and that’s an opportunity for people who love democracy to protect it.

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

In court just now, the states are introducing @PressSec tweet saying the funding freeze is still active as evidence that their lawsuit should continue.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

If every single democratic senator doesn't vote against RFK Jr., I don't know what. VOTE NO. ALL OF YOU.

H5N1 Bird Flu Spreads Rapidly Through California Dairy Herds The USDA has confirmed that five more dairy herds in California are infected, bringing the total number to 732. As of now, 74% of the state's dairy herds have tested positive for the virus.

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind. abcnews.go.com/Health/kansa...

The silence from Dems is deafening. We’re exhausted—looking for leadership and starting to feel desperate. Everything feels like it’s slipping away & electeds aren’t acknowledging it, let alone speaking on it. @dougjones.bsky.social sounds like someone who’s actually read the room. More of this!
