Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts.

NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities.

Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

If Trump sells F-35s to India, the era of US air dominance is over. Full stop.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze.
I worked at an organization that
-helped veterans who have lost a limb
-Assisted elderly and disabled people
-Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

How to Help China Win Cold War 2.0: (1) pick fights with allies, (2) impose tariffs, threaten to seize property & bully countries in the developing world; (3) cut off foreign aid (4) abandon democracy promotion; (5) purge expert national security officials, (6) foster divisions in American society.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 63. 2/3/25 … Elon Musk locked USAID staffers out of their building this morning.

Elon Musk goes to war with USAID, guards overseeing ISIS prisoners walked off the job, Musk’s fans in Russia cheered. This is not normal. Stay informed with Ron Filipkowski’s latest Daily Bulletin.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Emergency Video (Extreme Emergency) Jan 2025 WHERE IS DEMOCRATIC MESSAGING AND FIGHT?!

And that’s the least of my worries with him.

Costco shareholders just sent a clear message: DEI is here to stay.

Attempts to roll back progress were crushed—because diversity isn’t a ‘risk,’ it’s a strength. 🔥

So, keep the $1.50 hotdogs coming 🌭

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

Congress!!! Are you listening? You approved the money for these agencies and research. Tell Trump to fuck off.

FUCKING BETTER START ARCHIVING ALL THE NIH DATABASES ASAP,

They have a shit ton of databases with tons of valuable information. We can't afford to lose them.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

You are here:

Stop watching and getting relief from dark humor, be serious.

The tactic is that the GOP creates the crazy dialogue and sticks to it. Anything off the party line gets drowned out.

My insurance company denied medication my Dr. prescribed for me. I was able to fill it and pay out of pocket at @mcuban.bsky.social's Cost Plus Drugs. It was super easy and super inexpensive. Thank you Mark for caring more about helping us than feeding your ego. 🙏🙇‍♂️

That’s always been the plan, remember Betsy DeVos… Here we are again with a more aggressive plan to dismantle every US institution to consolidate power.

Add to that……Let criminal of the century run for president and then handed him the keys with a smile.

Trump’s cabinet picks wouldn’t pass the background check to volunteer on a school field trip…

Since Biden effectively extended a pardon to Trump, it would only seem fair to consider pardoning others who faced consequences for challenging him over the past four years.

TODAY’S EPISODE OF:
WE F*CKING WARNED YOU

Pittsburgh steelworkers who supported Trump aren’t happy that he’s opposing the US Steel-Nippon deal.

“I am very frustrated with the news that came out last night…that was like a gut punch.” — United Steelworkers VP Jason Zugai

This is the energy we will need!!

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won? It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

Here in PA, ads being run by McCormick were LOL bizarre mini-dramas…was enough to have you peek outside to check if the hordes of migrants weren’t just outside, bags of fentanyl in their hands. You carpet bomb folks in their homes every day & they believe it.
