You should probably mention that during his first term, Trump spent $18 billion to fast-track the vaccine. It was the one sane and decent thing he's ever done in his entire life, so it's even more stupid that he's working so hard to undo it.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

You can find the mailing addresses for the top military leaders here: www.defense.gov/Contact/Mail...
In case you want to flood their offices with letters and postcards demanding they denounce the despicable display of troops booing California's governor and LA's mayor.

Something YOU can DO!!!! DO IT!

An Augustinian pope is a good thing.

"When we were a more serious nation..." from the guy who has AI-generated images of himself as the pope and a sith lord on the official WH twit feed.

And all Sinead O'Connor did was tear up the pope's picture. Too bad she didn't know if she said, "This is to troll the libs," she'd have been fine.

That's going to change the tone of some sermons this weekend.

What would happen if MS-13 members started wearing MAGA hats to show they're in good standing?

This is really a big deal.

WOMEN understand that you often have to say NO to MEN multiple times before they back off; hence, WOMEN leading the way against US fascism.

Of all the stupid, insane actions, moving all Social Security public communications to X is at the top of my list. How is this even legal?!?

True story. Worse, I'm getting emails from my vendors saying how they're going to try and absorb some costs. They shouldn't have to!

If the tariffs were initiated by an Executive Order, and we know that EO’s are not laws, then what’s the legal penalty for not following it? Is there a legal penalty?

Totally the wrong message. It suggests the only thing wrong is they didn't tariff Russia. Not the biggest issue here, Chuck.

Nobody Gonna Say Anything Lessons from public transit

I used to do this on FB, but it's been more difficult lately to get things to go through. Therefore, I am joining a host of others on Substack as a place to make observations, engage in some analysis, and generally vent. It's a freebie: donnaconaway.substack.com/p/nobody-gon...

Not buying that premise at all. That assumes the people cannot or will not demand better. We already see that's not true.

From the same people who derive joy from videos of people walking in shackles. Hell yeah, your fucking company should tank.

1. He's STARTING with atomic bombs?!?; 2. Japan is likely rethinking the whole "ally" thing as are many others.

You're worried about them pulling the party to the left and NOT the oligarch butt-kissing fascists in the WH? Okay then.

I think having a channel that leaves no record and cannot be archived as required is deliberate. Adding a journalist...yeah, that was stupidity.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.

The most important message to get out to tRump supporters is that they describe immigrants, etc. as "parasites" is because that is exactly how they think of all non-billionaires. In their world, YOU are the parasite.

My father died suddenly, and my mother had 4 children, ages 15, 14, 13, and 10. This was in 1971. Without SS survivor benefits, we would have all landed in foster care. Thanks to her incredible tenacity and these benefits, we stayed together, stayed in school, and made it to/through college.

Venezuela minister says no Tren de Aragua members among US deportees Venezuela's Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said on Friday that none of the hundreds of Venezuelans deported by the U.S. to a Salvadoran prison is a member of Venezuela's Tren de Aragua criminal gang, the reason Washington gave for expelling them.

So, who is the best organization to force their return? Who was taken, and why are we paying to keep them there? www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Can we take a moment to contemplate what was going through Ms. Waters' mind at this moment? "omg...you ARE an asshole." was my first thought.

Has anyone considered a Stepford Wives type scenario to explain Schumer's and Fetterman's sudden kowtowing? Fetterman went to Mar-a-Lago, so totally believable there's an underground mad scientist lab doing shady shit.

My phone stats say I used my phone 24 mins more than last month. Feels like I've been doomscrolling a lot more than that.

When he made an unscheduled stop in Detroit.

The reasons given for not shutting down the gov't would be rational IF the CR did not take power away from Congress. Do you think they're just going to give that back?
