Seth Harp (on drug trafficking in the military)

By far one of the most fascinating and horrifying podcast episodes I have ever listened to. Will definitely be buying and reading @SethHarp’s book on drug trafficking and murder coverups in the military. open.spotify.com/episode/4qHd...

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

What form of sociopathy required them to need a court order to stop doing this?

Librarians United for #FREadom!

I’m struck by the collective effort of thoughtful people banding together in the face of an externally oppressive governance.

The moment is on us again, time to reaffirm what it truly means to be American in the face of the internal threat that is #TrumpTyranny

I’ve got a lot of problems w/what RFK Jr says here—but worst is his description of people on the autism spectrum as unable to contribute.

This is the Trump admin’s war on diversity: if you’re not their version of “perfect,” you’re not worthy.

Thanks to Holly Robinson Pete, for setting it straight.

Early intervention is critical for newborn babies and parents. That’s changing under Trump.

• CDC’s newborn hearing program cut — states may lose follow-up care
• Genetic screening panel disbanded — fewer rare conditions caught early
• Maternal health survey scrapped — less data to improve outcomes

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid.

Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price. The move, which led to disruptions in services for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, provides a glimpse of the consequences when a branch of government assumes unprecedented control.

1/ A year ago, I was examining North Carolina’s budget when two unusual items caught my attention–spurring an investigation that reveals how political and religious favoritism by lawmakers can harm some of society’s most vulnerable people. #ncpol @propublica.org

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.

Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.

At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

Trump: “Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before. The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older. In any event, I would much prefer not having a picture than having this one, but many people from Colorado have called and written to complain. In fact, they are actually angry about it! I am speaking on their behalf to the Radical Left Governor, Jared Polis, who is extremely weak on Crime, in particular with respect to Tren de Aragua, which practically took over Aurora (Don’t worry, we saved it!), to take it down. Jared should be ashamed of himself!”

The president is laser focused on the big issues

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Always! Despite the hateful, ignorant, and harmful anti #DiversityEquityAndInclusion laws metastasizing through our once great nation

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

More carnage.
