I hope trump’s death is slow and painful. I hope he suffers and I hope when he takes his last breath, the devil himself comes to escort him to hell.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.

H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

What have you done

First they came for the Covid shots...

Trump Sells Out Ukraine to Putin in Oval Office Surrender Donald Trump’s press conference today was one of the most disgraceful moments in U.S. history, signaling a complete surrender to Vladimir Putin.

BEN MEISELAS: "Because Trump and Putin want to install a Kremlin-backed puppet in Kyiv. This is literally Putin’s demand for a peace deal: get rid of Zelensky and replace him with a Russian stooge. And Trump is now parroting it word for word."

Republicans move to repeal lead limits imposed by Biden-era rules US government would be prohibited from ever mandating lead pipe replacement or lowering lead limits in water

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced.

Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked.

So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

Musk is calling USAID “evil” and saying it must die.

Trump is suddenly interested in cutting off funding to South Africa.

For those wondering why the sudden focus on this, might we suggest digging into the role USAID played in ending apartheid? —> adst.org/2021/06/amer...

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost.

If the FBI gets purged of almost all of its agents, they will be replaced. The current vetting process for agents is onerous. But that can be changed, and there’s really nothing stopping a director from handing every Jan. 6 pardonee, or any other yahoo, a badge and a gun (and TS clearance)

Trump administration wipes CDC site

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said," I'm confused I keep hearing everyone from America saying I'm sending rapists and felons into their country. We thought that was encouraged, considering that's what they chose to be their president." 🤣 this woman is bad ass. Protect her at all cost.

Treasury Official Quits After Clash With Musk Over DOGE Access DOGE wants access to a payment system that disburses over $6 trillion annually.

Elon messed around with the FAA.
Now the Treasury?
How is this legal?
WTF
“DOGE” isn’t even a legit department.

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.”

The Trump administration ordering US public health officials to stop working with the World Health Organization endangers America and global health. There is literally not a single rational argument that supports this inane and shortsighted decision.

Hey - not a super prolific poster, sorry. I do now have *something* on my list of posts, and as my rage at the felon in chief increases, which it definitely will, I will be posting more, guaranteed! Thanks for reaching out, viva la resistance!

I mean, who doesn't have spellcheck??

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Fuck Trump!!!

Done.

All right Speedwalker - way to go!!

Where I went to college there was a big sign outside the admin building that said "the fear of god is the beginning of knowledge". Always really irritated me to see that.
