Feeling Naïve on Memorial Day I honestly can't tell anymore.

"I’ve been struggling mightily over the past two days with the question of what is and isn’t appropriate to say on an occasion that’s meant to be dedicated to remembering the women and men in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country."

Any news organization that covered that speech and didn't mention that he is clearly suffering from dementia & often incoherently rambling has abdicated their responsibility to truth in reportage. This abdication and failure, pretending he & his cult are normal, is a large part of how we got here.

I understand that there is a part of this huge bill about the judiciary. True?

You Can't Fix Stupid But The Hats Sure Make It Easy To Identify

Everything this regime does is unChrist -like. Report them.

Can’t wait to find out we don’t have any more SSI.

the scandal is not that goldberg was added to the chat. that's just a dumbfuck being a dumbfuck, and sure, fire Waltz. the scandal is that a national security conversation is on a cellphone groupchat. and since no one commented on it, presumably it's a regular occurrence.

Has anyone from Signalgate resigned yet? Has a special counsel been appointed yet?

I'm so very sorry. 💔

Trump Administration Aims to Eliminate E.P.A.’s Scientific Research Arm More than 1,000 chemists, biologists and other scientists could be laid off under a plan to dismantle the Office of Research and Development.

The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists, according to documents reviewed by Democrats on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/c...

Ukrainian troops fought with the United States in both Iraq and Afghanistan. They answered our call for assistance and stayed, by our side, for years. Are we so lost as a nation that we turn our back on allies? 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

After Trump & Vance’s utterly disgraceful performance it’s good to see European leaders step up. It’s profoundly American to criticize our leaders when they stray from democratic principles let alone what we are seeing in Trump’s administration. As a proud American I intend to fight for our country.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

The full front cover is dominated by a picture of Zelenskyy. The word BETRAYED is written in German (VERRATEN) across his chest in yellow. The rest of the subtitle is underneath.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany.

“BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

This is 100% correct.

NTSB giving exclusive information only to a private social network (owned by a billionaire donor to the president) while the DoD boots news outlets out of the Pentagon in favor of right-wing aligned ones is government censorship of the press and suppression of free speech.

Where are you going to find someone to run against them?

I didn't vote for Trump. I sure as HELL didn't vote for Heir Musk!

This affects my life, my parents & grandmother. This will affect millions of people throughout the country.

This is fucking illegal, all of it. Trump can't decide by EO to create a new federal agency that's not accountable to Congress. Musl and everyone helping him right now is committing a crime every second they're in these government offices, touching government property, and accessing government info.

The Libby app is a good resource for borrowing ebooks, both print and audio. You have to have a library card.

Some very helpful info here

We are in the days of shock & awful, where Trump tries to make people feel so overwhelmed by all the rapid changes & actions that they quit trying to keep up. Don't give into that. Learn about what you have the bandwidth for. Understand that these are steps being taken to break down democracy.

I saw during COVID what RFK Jr.'s brand of skepticism could do | Op-Ed During COVID, when health professionals needed support from the public with vaccinations, I saw firsthand how misinformation led to death and trauma.

Thank you @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social for publishing my Op-Ed today.

RFK Jr.’s “confirmation would undermine public health and betray hardworking health care professionals and researchers who work relentlessly to keep our patients safe and healthy”
