Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

Graduated to a boot today, still non-weight bearing for another month, but happy for the progress. #dontbreakyourankle

A fake website meant to look like a CDC webpage was put up and quickly taken offline, but not before diligent information manipulation researchers noticed several signs that it was likely connected to Children’s Health Defense, the anti-vaccine organization founded by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

The settlement here will not be for a trivial amount

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

How is this viewed as even slightly efficient or competent? apnews.com/article/fda-...

Tell me, if they're so proud of what they stand for, why do they have a look of disgust on their faces?

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

FOTUS’s KGB name is “Krasnov” says a senior ex-KGB officer who also says FOTUS was recruited in 1987 when Russia was recruiting influential businessmen. Would explain A LOT #Voices4Victory

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Can we fucking not? Stop pussy-footing around what it actually was: a Seig Heil. Every single person knows it. These headlines are soft AF.

one downside of living in a society steeped in apocalypse-as-entertainment is that most people have simplistic ideas of what the future will look like: either “good” or “bad” as someone who explores future scenarios professionally, I’d offer few thoughts about what’s next 1/

In a ironic turn of events, Vance's "Hillbilly Elegy" is has been removed from DoD schools pending a "compliance review" abovethelaw.com/2025/02/jd-v...

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Exactly right

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said today it's working to reverse the firing of agency personnel tasked with the federal response to bird flu.

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk. Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly. #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17 (🎥 @vuralelibol.bsky.social )

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The information landscape in the United States has reached a crisis point. Billionaires and corporations are using the media outlets they control to curry favor with Trump. The only way to fight back is to build out independent media. popular.info/subscribe muskwatch.com/subscribe

i feel like it's an open question whether or not the flu vaccine will even be available next season

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Because chaos and nuclear weapons are terms we never need to hear in close proximity, but please tell me how this is making America great.... www.npr.org/2025/02/14/n...

This should surprise no one. Great group of "experts" they have over at "DOGE" fortune.com/2025/02/14/e...

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

With regard to RFK Jr's appointment, I found this somewhat reassuring: yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/rfk-jr-is-...

#PresidentMusk basically just awarded himself $400 billion in new government contracts for SpaceX and Tesla, because he's part of the #ParasiteClass

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, says the National Science Foundation has given money to thousands of "Woke DEI" studies. Researchers say that's misrepresenting science and disparaging important research.

Gabbard was supposed to be sworn in. Instead, he said what he wanted to say and walked off.
