Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Even with the obvious imbalance of power, Zelensky makes Vance look like a preening little teacher’s pet.

Deplorable

Peak sycophant.

Stark contrast in integrity and leadership

Trump and Vance just made Zelensky one of the most popular leaders in the world.

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

Goran World - yesterday As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

Real journalism. Thank you

47 tweeting about bringing back plastic straws. 😏 Way to go, autocrat grandpa.

And the atrocities continue.

That is code for: they have their sights set on cutting Medicare and Medicaid and leaving our seniors without health care.

Two brief moments of levity this week. My 20 year old cat delightedly perched in the vet’s office window spying on parking lot pets. I mistook a curled silver string in my house for a baby snake skin.

If you're not ok with sending a Nigerian prince your personal and private information, why would you be ok with a South African oligarch barging into government offices and stealing it?

Hiring only the best … assets

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress?

Asking for a nation.

Kansas tuberculosis outbreak becomes largest ever in US The state has seen tuberculosis cases double between 2023 and 2024, with the CDC offering support on the ground.

There is a tuberculosis outbreak happening right now in Kansas. In 2025.

There is an Ebola outbreak in Uganda.

We are on the precipice of a major bird flu pandemic.

What does the president do? Cuts the CDC off from collaboration with WHO. This will cost lives.

Two tv series helping me get through this doom week are high on empathy and goodness - Somebody Somewhere and Shrinking.

Love to see it.

Hi, I’m God.

I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

For the rest of my life I will never understand how MAGA is so furious about Dr. Fauci, who saved many lives, being pardoned by President Biden, but they're thrilled about January 6th thugs, who beat cops with flagpoles, being pardoned by trump.

Joe Biden is right. There is an oligarchy forming in America

Macular spectacular

Traffic on Bluesky, an X competitor, is up 500% since the election. How will they handle the surge? Unlike other social media sites, Bluesky allows users to create their own algorithm. The site does not have ads, nor harvest data for artificial intelligence training. But it is still very small and has an unproven business record.

#Bluesky traffic up by 500%, absolutely crushing Threads and X (twitter).

Millions are choosing the good place.
