AOC always gets it right...

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Not one reporter has asked Trump about Musk’s decision to take away food from starving babies.

Chris Hayes is very, very smart. And, hopefully, prophetic about how we respond to social media and all the other siren calls for our attention. Maybe a different revolution coming.

Seriously, hasn't it been said somewhere that planes falling out of the sky are a sign of the End Times? That and the Antichrist with the Tribble on his head?

Yep.

The new cover of TIME shows Elon musk with a takeaway coffee cup sat behind the Resolute desk of the Oval Office. He face is somewhere between being stoney-faced and smirking. A US and Presidential flag is behind him.

The new cover of TIME.

Trump will hate this.

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.

- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.

The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

USAID’s sign seen here being ripped off its HQ.

Also:
- Treasury infiltrated.
- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau being shut down.
- National Hurricane Centre targeted.
- Congress denied entry to Dept of Education & EPA.

🚨All illegal & unconstitutional🚨

WHERE’S THE ARREST WARRANT FOR MUSK?

Well, in theory at least. So far, Dump and Elonia have shown no inclination to be law-abiding.

I really hope he follows through.

Real photos of real protests from 50501 February 5, 2025 shaped into the United States of America. This is what hope looks like. Fifty states, fifty capitols, one protest.

Microdosing Hope.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

I will "celebrate" today, January 20, 2025, by reading, sleeping, reading some more, and maybe watching some Deadly Women or a Friends marathon -- depending on my mood. My TV will be on and tuned to anything that is not pointed at DC. I'll check the news tonight. Maybe. A day to endure.

Here’s a common scam going around that you should know about: Sometimes cats will meow at you like they haven’t been fed, but in fact someone DID feed them, and they’re just trying to get fed again- stay alert! 🚨

I'm with you on that one, Mrs. Obama. When the GOP treats you like shit with their hypocrisy, racism, and bigotry, why in the world would ANYONE support Trump's grabbing of power?

Fuck that. I stand with you.

a golden retriever is laying in a taupe papasan with an array of yellow flowers held in his teeth. his lips curl up to accommodate the stems, then flop down again. all that’s visible of his smile is a jagged half dozen lower teeth. his teal name tag is visible amid his chest fluff.

This is Donut. He picked these flowers for you. Not really. He picked them for himself. But it's the thought that counts. 12/10

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.
