The graft goes on! The graft goes on, and on, and on... Look where the sons of The Regime are showing up - rare earth minerals. We're going to rare earths in Venezuela from NYC real estate (family company convicted for fraud), by way of crypto! youtube.com/shorts/WIMW_...

The Regime gave pardons to people who beat cops and desecrated the Capitol. Here is someone deserving a pardon. (Ironically the SAVE act would have saved him from his own ignorance.) Our immigration system is beyond redemption if we can't let him in. This stinks. www.military.com/daily-news/i...

Nope. I think everyone needs skin in the game. Paying taxes is part of being part of the community. A person's share should be reasonable according to their means, but everyone should pay something. If she wants to exclude the amount at the poverty level, fine, but $100k is not poverty, even in CA.

"We hear the feedback and recognize we fell short on this." - They probably should have used the impersonation feature one last time to steal a better apology. futurism.com/artificial-i...

I would ask if there is nothing sacred to The Regime, but it would be a total waste of our time. meidasnews.com/news/white-h...

Democrats should have let him do his thing in 2024. He was ready to take on the gutter tactics of the GOP. The too sad Media picked at minutia from the man and the Dems cringed wanting purity, letting The Regime flood the field w so many lies it would have been easier to report on his few truths.

This was predictable after regional attacks on Venezuela. Cuba has been a bone in America's craw for over six decades. Problem is where will its refugees go this time? Miami is no longer an option under The Regime's anti-immigrant policies. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

A sign you've watched too many YouTube shorts: Thumbs up button no longer works. The only dead zone on the screen. Let's see what happens to the algorithm without constant reinforcement. Otherwise, my 4 generations old Samsung 22 Ultra does all I need. Is this how they get me buy an S26?

"Hello. My name is Ayatollah Khamenei. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Off the silver screen, this is going to get very ugly.

So much for going to Canada for better healthcare. Probably better to stay with our own wacko Sec. RFK, Jr. At least we know he's lying to us. retractionwatch.com/2026/03/03/c...

Donald Trump just started a war and is plotting to steal the 2026 election. Meanwhile, his buddy David Ellison just won control of CNN. Democracy Docket is fiercely independent and pro-democracy. No corporate investors. It will never back down. Support it by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Another attempt by The Regime to make the UN superfluous. When do they learn that great photos are not reality and don't fool anyone into believing they are better than their actions?

I really hope folks with limited chances get out of the way. Two GOP candidates & no Democratic for governor in CA is disaster! Worse than a GOP (MAGA?!) gov is chance Democrats fail to show up in November and House seats are lost to the GOP b/c folks don't vote www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's sad that a candidate who failed against Boebert two times is more interested in her own success than putting a really strong, well qualified Democratic candidate in office. Ex-Republicans are welcome in the Democratic party. www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/03/02/p...

In a Clinton v. Boebert battle, I'm going with the smart, experienced former Secretary of State over the conspiracy nut who performs lewd public behavior.

There is still some good news. And a few things lije thus that are great!

Women’s History Month is not a Hallmark moment, it’s a ledger. Rights won because women organized, agitated and refused silence. The gap in pay, power and safety didn’t close itself and it won’t close on vibes. Celebrate the gains. Fight the rest.

NEW article by me! We can now visualize pathogens down to atoms; design vaccines in weeks; manufacture them in microbial factories; engineer them more precise than ever before. We're living through a golden age of vaccine development, but only if we continue to invest in them.

TWEET OF THE DAY 🏆

Wag the Dog: President gets caught making advances on an underage girl. He starts a war to distract public attention. Similar move during Clinton impeachment. (why they want to talk to Bill.) The Regime owes royalties to a bunch of folks. Source: Wikipedia share.google/w6WWjIK0Mey9...

That's going to be a tough one in Hell. War Criminal AND Pedophile Nope - no place for both And neither wants to associate with the other. Most folks have some standards.

Just donated ONLY what I can afford for a second time- can YOU do the same?

It still boggles my mind that middle schools do not teach basic life skills. (We called it Home Economics &Shop.) Good move - getting rid of sexism. Stupid move - failing to give training to all. Everyone eats, needs a budget, needs simple home repairs. Teach Life 101 youtube.com/shorts/vrXY_...

#HealthcareIsAHumanRight Even if The Regime doesn't support this belief... The rest of us must remember. They are human. They are children. And, especially the infants, are likely US citizens. We must do be better for them and for every child. It costs less than AI & is not that complicated

Kids in the story were lucky. Help was called when they were desperately ill. Could the crises have been avoided? (There are simple answers of not holding them in detention or making sick kids line up in the cold for medicine.) Crass responses "this is best care in their lives" says DHS won't try

As much as I try to get rid of tracking cookies! I search for exercises for a spine & hip problem - 3 hrs later Amazon recommends a new style of chair for me. Criss-cross chairs? I haven't felt so invaded since CVS knew when to send toothpaste coupons! At least they were part of the conversation

The #SAVEAct is designed to "save" the GOP from voters they don't like: >Requiring birth cerificates to match name (marriage?) >Stopping registration by mail & online >Jail for election workers who make document mistakes, even w citizens. Save democracy! Stop this! campaignlegal.org/update/what-...

We need Democratic candidates willing to stand up to The Regime, MAGA in 2026 & 2028. That's why I'm supporting George Conway for Congress. He's been consistently and forcefully in opposition for years. He thinks forcefully and independently. He's what we need for change! @gtconway.bsky.social

@crockett.house.gov - You raise the name of Trayvon Martin, who we lost 14 years ago. We need to know what happened to #KyleBassinga. Everyone needs the safety to walk in peace.

Kyle's question is right on: Why are you stopping me? He didn't use the magic legal words: What is your "reasonable suspicion, based on specific and articulable facts?" From the video being proud of his status to suicide seems a big stretch. Hope his family gets a lawyer who will make some noise!

#gardening True signs that the time of planting is nigh! Strawberries appearing!

Thank God for judges willing to stand up to the lawless barbarism of The Regime. A ambush always rots from the head down...

@murray.senate.gov THANK YOU!! The first birth control pill was approved by the FDA in 1960! Reliable control of timing pregnancy underpins the economic & social progress that was a fact of my life since I was a toddler. I'll spend my retirement making sure we keep our rights to access & privacy.

Given The Regime's propensity to sue over petty stuff, you'd think court clerks all over America should be rolling in overtime pay for this stuff. But crickets. Because truth is an absolute defense in cases of slander and libel. We don't have a Secrets Act like the UK. We do have the 1st Amendment

At all costs, don't tell The Regime anything he doesn't want to hear or that will take him off script. How to keep him on track? For two hours? Mild dehydration, and a large dose of something(s) to modulate behavior. youtube.com/post/UgkxgMC...

That will save time when his time comes. Or start rumors that he's already one of the undead.
