HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

To Pay for Trump Tax Cuts, House GOP Floats Plan to Slash Benefits for the Poor and Working Class A menu of options being circulated by congressional Republicans also includes new tax cuts for corporations and the ultrawealthy.

One GOP proposal takes aim squarely at parents raising children on their own by eliminating the “head of household” filing status to reap some $200B more in taxes over a decade from single parents and other adults caring for dependents on their own.

So we have massive federal agencies disappearing in the middle of the night at the behest of an unelected billionaire and the response from the government is just *shrug*?

My family. My childhood filled with crying wailing tears. I love my family but think humans are an abomination that should disappear. I’d rather be a tree.

Trump is President and the media bends to him. No consequences for anyone.

They are trying to destroy us but the bottomless pit of the government will eat them alive like a horror movie. They are so arrogant they have no idea what they are walking into

Tiny Coffins: Measles Is Killing Thousands of Children in Congo Problems with getting vaccines to families have left many children unvaccinated and in danger of contracting the virus.

Tiny coffins. THOUSANDS of children dying of measles in the Congo. Thats what happens without vaccines. It is insane to put vaccine conspiracy theorist RFK Jr in charge of public health in the United States. It is downright deranged to do that. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/h...

It’s funny when a centibillionaire donates 1m to the inauguration. It’s like the median American donating a couple dollars. It means nothing to the centibillionaire. But it impresses Trump, who is a fake rich person.

Have you watched our interview with President Biden yet?

If so, have you shared it with friends and family?

now that people are anti-fetterman let me say that i think it is disrespectful that he walks around the senate chamber in a hoodie and shorts

God bless Joe Biden

An amazing human.

“It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter” - George Conway

Spent the day talking to Europeans, and nobody can think of any precedent for what Musk just did to the US Congress. There is no businessman with that much power, the power to stop a routine spending bill, anywhere else in the democratic world.

That's what's so exciting about being the world's richest man (and the country that will tolerate him doing an unelected takeover)

I don’t usually make this kind of request, but I feel many people don’t know we’re on Bluesky. If you think your followers would be interested, please share this with them!

Our mission is simple: to share facts, challenge misinformation, and do it all in a way that brings people together.

To start with, we must make "crypto" synonymous with "scam."

The very word must make people reach for their wallets (to make sure they're still there).

How you can help: Every day, post at least negative story about #CryptoScam

Crypto is still rather small. Most people don't trust it.

Push!

I love this.

Musk’s radicalization online is well-documented.

A new analysis by The Economist of over 38,000 of his tweets reveals a dramatic shift: from tech innovator to an extreme political figure steeped in far-right rhetoric.

When I (perhaps inexplicably) went on HBO in 2019 to talk to Bill Maher, the focus of my one-on-one interview was on how Trump-era scandals occur in plain view and—paradoxically—for that reason are not believed.

The WSJ reports years of secret Putin-Musk calls.

Then Musk bought Trump a presidency.

And they know now—we all do—that the answer is nothing.

In 2023 we learned that law enforcement will do nothing; in 2024 we learned that American voters will do nothing; and in 2025 we'll maybe learn that the nations of the world will do nothing. So we can't be surprised when evil men break eviler.

The shift from billionaire-controlled social media to decentralized platforms like Bluesky offers a hopeful change on the internet
