“I got no skin in the game but I’m next, right?”—Joe Cool Knows His History. #Pinks #ProudBlue #FuckICE

Trump officials ‘conspiring to illegally intimidate’ non-citizens via new VA report, lawmakers say Intimidating non-citizen doctors, nurses, researchers, medical students & contractors who provide (wildly understaffed) healthcare will predictably kill veterans. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pretend cowboy whose killing people for no reason.

yup the time he mocked a disabled reporter should have ended it -- but didn't. Now the time he literally stole citizenship AT THE CEREMONY for people who had done everything 'right' should have ended it -- but the WAPO will continue to pander.

no happenstance -- this Court would not rule this way if the President were a Democrat.

Denmark isn’t exaggerating. If a country threatens to seize another’s territory, it becomes a potential threat by definition, even if they are treaty allies on paper. This is the situation Trump has created for Greenland and Denmark. #holdfast #steadystate

There is perhaps nothing more "on brand" for Trump than using all of the power of the US government to coerce a sovereign, democratic nation into releasing someone accused of raping children and trafficking women. "Gift" article, so no subscription required to read. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

In January, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services will roll out a pilot program that will use AI to review Medicare patients' requests for care. Insurers will get rewarded when they deny care. What could go wrong?

“.. 'What does [6G] do? Give you a little bit deeper view into somebody’s skin?' he mused today, live on TV, right in front of Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon, who did not bother to correct him." $QCOM

PSA: if you join the ellison/weiss team at CBS News, you are telling the world that you are okay with subverting journalism & bowing to Trump’s autocratic whims. No amount of money or cushy gig can make up for the fact that willingly signing on to all that is an utter disgrace.

Republicans were told Trump would hold an event that finally addressed the affordability crisis that has them in a panic in their own districts, and they actually believed it. Instead, denial and he launched into a full-blown racist rant. Nothing real about inflation. The bigot always surfaces.

And he justified it by saying he doesn't care if people with vision issues now have trouble reading the material because that is a DEI concern. A weak man; a weak petty man.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

“.. THIS IS THE WAY A FASCIST TALKS: vilifying an ethnic minority, blaming them collectively for crimes, rallying crowds against them .. And this is the way a fascist audience responds: chanting .. and applauding his slurs ..” @saletan.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-atta...

It is right up there -- but I think creating videos of real people (the British royals, politicians, well known actors etc) doing things they haven't done and saying things they haven't said is the worst -- and should be straight up illegal.

US forces reportedly seize oil tanker off Venezuela coast

So considering people with visual impairment (increasingly most people need better fonts as they age as well as those with serious eye issues) is 'wasteful DEI move'? Rubio is a weak stick -- but sure made the monstrous position of this regime on those with any needs at all clear.

A bunch of us did a piece on RFK Jr.'s attacks on vaccines. Please circulate. Scientists and clinicians are sounding the alarm. It's time to act. youtube.com/shorts/4wnNy...

I don’t see what the problem is

Trump has PSYCHOTIC MELTDOWN on LIVE TV at WH PRESSER

I am tired of South Africans who don't understand the values or traditions of this country moving here and wrecking the place.

at my grandchild's school when ICE is in the vicinity, parents who up en mass with whistles.

Pedo Don is fucking pathetic.

If you think things are bad in the US now, it's much worse than you know.

Trump is going to pardon all these federal murderers so Hegseth will just have to be careful never to leave the country, but ICE is committing local crimes and Trump has no power to pardon for those crimes. Hope they are taking names and making records for when the day comes.

Hegseth should be unemployed waiting on murder charges.

Not his worst quality -- but good god this guy has the worst taste in the world.

A DOJ that protects the powerful over the abused isn’t justice. It’s despicable. Release all the unredacted Epstein files‼️

Dayum‼️ Safe to say Marjorie Taylor Greene’s divorce from Donald Trump is final. “After President Trump called me a traitor, I got a pipe bomb threat on my house.” “I stood for women who were raped when they were 14 years old. And the president that I fought for… called me a traitor for that.” 🧵

we've come a long way since Carter sold his peanut ranch to avoid conflicts of interest.

We have a child rapist in the Oval. We have a puppy killer in charge of DHS. We have an incompetent oaf in charge of the FBI. We have a murderer in charge of the defense dept. We have a corrupt SCOTUS. We have a lying bish in charge of our DOJ. And, a literal Nazi pulling Trump’s puppet strings. 🤬

Damn right. You’re f’ing disqualified.

This is who Republicans now are. Decent Americans have left the party. This is who is left.

Gulf of Tonkin anyone -- Trump has clearly deployed ICE to create an incident to justify further violence. Expect a Reichstag fire any day now.

With alt text. This is Vance-ism/Theil-ism more than Trumpism, though it works well for Donald, too, because it puts him in the position to try to lord over each head of state, which is all he really cares about.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

In their confirmation hearings, RFK Jr pledged he would not be anti-vax, Hegseth said he respected women serving in leadership positions in the military, and Bondi said she would not weaponize DOJ against Trump’s political enemies.

Oh says the pompous Republican we all know -- it isn't about race; we just want them to follow procedures and do it the 'right way.'

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

Sincerely, if I was a Dem executive and had an idea this was going to happen, I’d deploy armed officers to bar any intruders from the citizenship ceremony until it was complete. A sacred space and a sacred obligation, and letting fascist goons pick people off at the front door is an abomination

well that couldn't be creepier. They are really into this whole 'king' thing. Of course the current SC understands that the founding of the US and it's Constitution were expressly done with the view of creating a King to rule the US.

"In his final drive for power Hitler had considerable financial backing from a fairly large chunk of the German business world...What good [that] eventually did these politically childish men of the business world will be seen later in this narrative." -The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, p. 242

The whole purpose of the founders in writing the Constitution was to make sure the 'unitary executive' like that in England didn't happen.

as usual it is poor kids or kids with poorly educated parents or nut job parents who will suffer -- intelligent responsible parents will fight to get their kids vaccinated properly.
