The cost of conscience: I lost friends for defending Palestinians Bearing witness to injustice has a price. I paid it – and I would, again, because silence is complicity.

Just kicked off FB.Ostensibly for a picture of a boy in a class photo mooning the photographer FB claims is child abuse. This means all pics of Bart Simpson mooning are abuse. More likely I was banned because of my flooding my site with anti-Trump corruption articles from around the world.

Somewhere, there is a veteran suffering from PTSD calling the VA suicide hotline and thanks to Elon, no one's answering.

Where?

Uh--Huh? Now I have to learn AI English to feed my pet?

An embarrassed Vance lashed out because Zelenskyy rightly told him Putin has shown he can’t be trusted to respect a cease fire or peace deal — and pointed out Vance has never set foot in Ukraine.

Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

Just so we are clear - the reason why JD Vance has constantly refused to go to Ukraine is because he is a coward. He would NEVER go there and meet with their soldiers or talk with their leaders. Because their courage and integrity would show him for what he is - a sniveling jerk.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower.

Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Donald Trump’s statement after his embarrassing scene with Zelenskyy and JD Vance:

“He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

I’m visualizing Putin’s O face right now.

Nauseating.

Absolutely disgusting and I thought Nixon and Reagan were unmitigated assholes, but this MAGAt.president is certainly a king---of hate and incredible ignorance stewed in racist hate

I love Gramsci. Not enough people have read him to appreciate his observations on injustice and institutionalized hate

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

I entirely agree. The question becomes how can we continue the Resistance to this theft in an effective and continuing manner

Always wondered how the Star Wars Emperor could start with a battle-hardened army and end up with an "entire legion of his best troops" being beaten to death by teddybears with sticks.

Then Hegseth ended up as US Defence Sec. And now yeah that makes sense.

How Elon Musk Executed His Takeover of the Federal Bureaucracy (Gift Article) The operation was driven with a frenetic focus by the billionaire, who channeled his resentment of regulatory oversight into a drastic overhaul of government agencies.

I see. Typically a MAGAt plan. "Our way or the Highway, Ukraine, Zelensky, et al." This is not diplomacy at work but a tribunal

I see. So, the putrid yellow MAGAt still gets to eliminate the government oversight position or place one of his idiocratic, unqualified but sympathetic lackeys in the job

I got lazy using Amazon. No more. Buying directly from businesses, using Costco on-line, local small businesses and my wonderful public library for books. No more Kindle. It feels good and I will continue.
