The Trump administration is filled with small minded men with black hearts. Their careless stupidity is on display with their “beautiful” tariffs.

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

Yikes. Bezos is a black hearted bum. I wish they’d turn him down. @washingtonpost.com

Gene Hackman, Hollywood’s Consummate Everyman, Dies at 95 (Gift Article) The winner of two Oscars, he was hailed for his nuanced performances in films like “The French Connection,” “Unforgiven” and “The Royal Tenenbaums.”

RIP Mr. Hackman. You were a legend. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

We need a Labor Secretary who will be a champion of working families.

We need a Labor Secretary who will raise the minimum wage and vigorously defend workers' right to bargain collectively.

We need a Labor Secretary who has the courage to stand up to an anti-worker POTUS.

Given that you post fake news and don’t take it down when flagged, why should we believe you’re doing anything other than trolling DOGE to increase your digital street cred? Still waiting for you to respond to the last time I brought this up in your feed.

Done with you guys now that Bezos is taking you to Newsmax-town. Apparently his statement of “freedom frees us from coercion” doesn’t apply to himself- since he’s being coerced by the Trump Administration to get on side.

California House Democrat introduces bill to reinstate veterans fired from federal government under Trump Rep. Derek Tran, an Army veteran and former employment lawyer who represents parts of Orange County, introduced the bill.

I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

Apple shareholders reject proposed ban on DEI programs Investors had been expected to reject the proposal, in line with the company’s recommendation, despite rising tensions around corporate diversity efforts.

Investors had been widely expected to reject the proposal during the company’s annual shareholders meeting — in alignment with Apple’s recommendation — despite rising tensions around corporate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.

Also on what planet does it make sense to give tax cuts to the wealthiest among us while cutting Medicaid? Only one full of beastly black-hearts. Remember- that’s someone’s vulnerable mother, sister or daughter they are denying healthcare to so billionaires can have another house.

DUDE WHAT is spot on. I was aghast listening to it and also like “why are we even remotely legitimizing this?” @nytimes.com

This is interesting, like a car crash. Having a romantic relationship with an AI chat bot is healthy and a deep departure from reality. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

This reads like the opening paragraph of a novel so bleakly dystopian you'd put it down after five pages

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.

How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Top F.B.I. Agent in New York Vows to ‘Dig In’ After Removals at Agency James E. Dennehy, the highly respected leader of the largest and most important field office in the bureau, said in an email to staff that the F.B.I. was in “a battle of our own.”

Someone, who used to know better, told me today that it’s patriotic to support the president even if you don’t always agree. This is the excuse being used by many to explain their acquiescence. Actually, this is what a patriot is: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.”
THIS HAS TO STOP.

Just because it is in plain sight does not mean it is not what it is: A hostile takeover of the U.S. government by an unelected and unfettered power monger. Believe what you see, do not see what you believe.

Personnel from the Musk-created office physically tried to access the USAID headquarters in Washington, DC, and were stopped. The DOGE personnel demanded to be let in and threatened to call US Marshals to be allowed access, two of the sources said.

This is a coup

Top Security Officials at Aid Agency Put on Leave After Denying Access to Musk Team (Gift Article) Workers at the U.S. Agency for International Development are bracing for a loss of its independent status and sweeping layoffs as President Trump continues slashing foreign aid.

There is something deeply upsetting to the fact that the richest man in the world has declared that it is “time to die” for the richest country in the world’s international aid program. I am so sad and disgusted about this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Anchor chickens. #electaclowngetacircus
