The advantage of ICE showing up at airports is that they aren’t wearing those ridiculous face masks. A good opportunity to see those faces.

My son joined the military right out of high school, because as he said, “if I go to college, I’ll just get drunk and flunk out”. Fortunately he never had to be deployed and when he got out, he got a BS and MS. Thank you America! But I worry for any young people now considering the military

Perfect time to, once again, point out that RFK Jr is a fucking stupid idiot.

I have my own issues with Catholicism, (raised Catholic) but their Lenten Fish Fries are to die for. Esp when it includes a bar and a raffle.

I welcome regime change of our country.

Public health state of the state: Surgeon General nominee and snake oil enthusiast Casey Means still doesn’t have the votes to be confirmed. A judge correctly ruled that RFK Jr.’s Temu ACIP was installed incorrectly and as such every malicious decision they made about vaccines is rubbish.

Pediatricians of the US should be celebrating that the US district court blocked the nonsensical vaccine recommendations of RFKjr s group of amateurs (quacks).

RFKJrs anti vax squad just got spanked. US district judge basically ruled that the ACIP idiots paid non intention to science and their recommendations all go in the garbage for now.

Some folks are in a snit on FB when I post the 4th amendment in response to their “pro ice” posts. Apparently the constitution doesn’t apply to “criminal illegals”. 🙄

I have been posting these pics on X for posts demanding the SAVE act get passed or the posts approving of the was against Iran. The idiots in the WH don’t seem to understand that our attempts at regime change fail. Bay of pigs, Vietnam, etc.

The SAVE act sucks, but probably more democrats have passports than trumplicans who are afraid of leaving their state.

It’s 32 degrees today. Guess I’ll put this away for a while.

Don’t these narcissistic GOP bozos in Congress realize that their legacy is for shit, for cowering and submitting to his Orangeness? And they’re afraid of being primaried. Cowards. At least Tillis grew some balls, but only because he is quitting.

Proving that they had big shoes to fill after the Biden administration, and have come up short.

I don’t trust any nonsense coming out of HHS and “MAHA”. Nutrition education sounds like an open door for any food or “supplement” that quacks want to promote.

So let me get this straight, Noem was fired over some contract shenanigans? Not the part where she was responsible for murdering protesters and kidnapping people off the street to send to concentration camps?

Media I can’t trust: Washington Post Los Angeles Times CNN CBS “X” Google Who have I left out? Even the Wall Street Journal often tells the truth.

Will the congressional GOP ever wake up and do the right things and get rid of dt? Will they ever overcome their fear of him and losing their cushy jobs to realize this is all WRONG? Do their families think they are amoral asshats or have they drunk the kool aid?

Board-Certified, Medically-Licensed Pediatrician 👋🏻 Casey has no medical license. Casey lies on podcasts. Casey can’t answer questions. Casey = kakistocratic weaponized incompetence.

BREAKING: A memorial for Kristi Noem’s dog has been erected in Chicago

The creepiest thing about America is that they know what’s coming and they let it happen 100 percent of the time. Nothing will be done to stop the sacred racist diddlers. They’ll just say the villains are invincible or scary or immortal and then just sit there while old pervs do whatever they want.

I would hate to think that Bovino could get doxxed and harassed once he is transferred to California . That would be a shame.

I can’t believe how low Jeff Bezos has sunk to. Coddling drump by paying for and promoting a “documentary “ on the first hooker in the White House. Throwing an elaborate wedding to give the finger to the world that he has billions of dollars. At what point does money turn you into an asshole?

A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping others, murdered by a man who has dedicated his life to hurting others.

ICE just executed an ICU nurse who worked at the VA. If any ICE “agents” need care at a hospital or clinic, just remember that.

Vaccine history corner: You will never in a million years guess which governor and state was the first to mandate the HPV vaccine by executive order in 2007. (reveal for answer)

Yes. Along with the rest of the world, we are watching in shocked disbelief as our elected leaders allow this to continue. Please know that the vast majority of Americans do not support it. Our democracy has been high-jacked. We need help. Where are our lawmakers? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

So Trump is really just a puppet of Musk, Thiel, Koch, etc. Zuckerberg and Bezos (and now Bari Weiss) are puppets of Trump. The above just want more money. Trump is also a puppet of Project 2025, but is Project 2025 making money off this or are they just really

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

Did a shift at the local food pantry today, which BTW was a total cluster. The grocery stores are now unloading their leftover Thanksgiving products, including pies, veggies, premade fruit plates, etc. volunteers were crabby. If one more person tells me what to do…

Fun holiday weekend. Adult daughter, son, niece, great niece, husband all with norovirus except daughter with influenza. I’m not sick so far just bored. So far 6 Inches + of snow here in Chicagoland.

Does orange man get up every morning to think up who he can screw today? So now nurses are Not professionals. Although considering my previous bosses and coworkers, I didn’t see a lot of professionalism. Looking at you, TF, JR, various ICU nurses, K, CB and more.

If you don't want 40 and 50 year old adult men flopping around on top of your own 15 year old kid, nut up and ditch your demagogue and protect someone ELSE'S 15 year old.

john fetterman: umm … urg … hnhggg john fetterman’s fitbit:

Time for Schumer to go. We need some young blood, which I know is hard to find in the Senate.

ICE goons kidnapped daycare worker from Rayito de Sol Nov 5 /25 Chicago WGN video

Saw on X that Scott Adams (Dilbert cartoonist and ultra conservative ) has metastatic prostate cancer. Kaiser has approved a new drug for him but the infusion has not been scheduled yet fot some reason. He is asking Trump for help in getting it scheduled. Interesting.

It constantly amazes me that Repugs could remove Trump through 25th amendment or impeachment, and that it didn’t happen last term either. That so many Repugs have no moral compass just blows my mind.

More governments agencies to block—Department of Interior, Labor, and Commerce

Time magazine might want to wait a week or so before putting dumbass on the cover with “His triumph” caption. Doesn’t look like much of a cease fire to me.

Our new pastor at our (very liberal) church asked today how many people went to No Kings yesterday and would they please stand up. It was a disappointing number (I stood up). But when she asked how many have been to any March, and fortunately a lot stood up.

Make sure to block hhs, the White House, and homeland security to start. The current dictatorship is trying to flood Bluesky either their propaganda.

Somehow I am suspicious of the Gaza Israel cease fire and hostage release. What did trump do? Promise more weapons to Israel? Purchase the Gaza Strip for his hotels? He is desperate for that Nobel but I’m sure he is making money on this deal.

I was on a river cruise recently, and there seemed to be a lot of fancy people on it. I think I shocked some passengers that our neighborhood doesn’t have a HOA, our house doesn’t have a built in vacuum system, and we only have one house.

I love that fearless leader is sending solders to Chicago to “Protect ICE”. Meanwhile, is the Charlie Kirk hysteria done with? Enough already.

I look forward to the “intolerant” of the US having major anxiety attacks about this. Can’t wait to hear the rants. BTW BB was hilarious in SNL as Hispanic aunt.

The ICE goons are getting a little careless with their face coverings. I’m not a fan of AI, but maybe their faces can be recognized and made famous.

What would congress and the country do if the Epstein files had proof of Trump abusing minors? Will The GOP just ignore it or say “boys will be boys”?
