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

RFK Jr. Just Admitted To Spreading A Bonkers Medical Conspiracy Theory During Contentious Hearing What are we even doing here?

How have we even gotten to this point?

Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care? Donald Trump and Republicans may try to ban funding to companies that perform trans health care. Some fear Democrats won't stop them.

“If you ask them, Democratic staff, political advisers, lobbyists, and civil rights advocates will admit they hadn’t prepared to defend trans people at the national level right now.”

Good time to reup my story for @rollingstone.com

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

Not just some people, but all people—on Earth—must watch this video and share it as widely as possible.

Every word of it is true, and it confirms that Elon Musk is a white supremacist leader stoking violence around the world.

His two televised Nazi salutes were exactly what you thought they were.

Trump hits NIH with ‘devastating’ freezes on meetings, travel, communications, and hiring Researchers facing “a lot of uncertainty, fear, and panic”

Trump ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.

If you or someone you know has cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or one of many countless illnesses that needs a cure — this could have devastating effects.

Poor dry January

I see that Melania chose to wear her Hamburglar hat to honor the criminals in the nation--and next to her.

Texas Democrat Proposes To His Longtime Partner After Being Sworn In—And We're Cheering Oh, how wonderful! ❤️

"One Democratic lawyer, who has heckled Mr. Trump publicly for years, declined to speak on the record for this article out of concern that his statements could result in retribution not only against himself, but also against his legal clients. He has advised others in his situation to hold their fire until they have a chance to determine how far Mr. Trump is willing to go."

Just an article, in the United States of America, about how critics of the incoming regime have gone publicly silent for fear of promised legal retribution toward dissenters www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/u...

Whew all this World War 3 talk almost made me forget about the oligarchy and how no one has health insurance they can actually rely on.

The New Apostolic Reformation Wants God’s Government Back A “prophetic” movement, led in part by Texans, is gaining ground—and everyone should pay attention.

Best of 2024: Some readers—Christian and non-Christian—may be tempted to write off this movement as just fundamentalist nonsense. @drdrbrockman.bsky.social explains why that would be a dangerous mistake.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ?

Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world.

Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

Trump Has Reeled in More Than $200 Million Since Election Day The president-elect has boasted about the donations for his inauguration, library and political activities from those seeking favor or perhaps in some cases, atonement.

For the "but he doesn't even take his presidential salary" cucks.

Congress stripped IRS of another $20 billion in government shutdown fight Republican lawmakers have now clawed back half the investment the Biden administration made in the tax agency.

As former IRS commissioner John Koskinen has said: “Underfunding the agency is just a tax cut for tax cheats.”

People who actually care about the deficit, much less a government that provides valuable services and protections for regular people, would never do this.

The image shows Tim's tweet, "Because every 2 and 4 years we give republicans control of the government," replying to Soup Girl's question, "Why don't we have this in the US," about China's 450 km/h high-speed train prototype featured in a China Daily post.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
