In 2021, 5.5% of US adults, or 14.1 million people, experienced a serious mental illness, according to NAMI. This represents 1 in 20 adults. In 2024, 5.86% of US adults experienced a severe mental illness. www.nami.org/about-mental....

Sounds eerily familiar… Nazi Euthanasia Program targeted for-murder Germans with mental and physical disabilities—claiming 250,000 lives Many Germans did not want to be reminded of individuals who did not measure up to their concept of a "master race" and were considered "unfit" or "handicapped."

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

It only takes four words to sum up the rise of authoritarian fascism, the fall of American democracy, and how a criminal conman got elected: Ignorance, apathy, misogyny and racism. 😳

For all the whiz-bang cutting-edge-technology rhetoric, Musk’s DOGE reflects an ancient right-wing knuckle-dragger belief that even good government is wasteful and its beneficiaries are parasites.

House Republicans have released their budget plan, and in order to pay for massive tax cuts for the wealthy, they are planning to slash funding for Medicaid and food stamps.

Yesterday was a victory for Moscow and for Putin. And it was a defeat for the United States and Ukraine, and for the international order and the cause of freedom. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social, @martynwendell.bsky.social, and Ben Parker:

A thing I have been saying for the past couple years is that AI is labor devaluation scheme. There are very few areas in which capitalists are so perturbed by costs as in labor. The goal is to reduce labor cost to nothing. There are only a few ways to achieve this. www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...

On every single major issue that divides us, Christian Nationalists, MAGA and GOP are against the actual teachings of Jesus. This is a book about how deeply they reject the words of that Nazarene they wave around as a prop.

Can’t wait to hear Musk and JD Vance offer passionate pleas to forgive THIS guy

PLEASE share this! youtu.be/O4CRk0J7ZPo?...

Trumps going to cost us Trillions.. Trump’s SuperBowl Shitshow $15M Trumps 3 trips to Mar Lago for Golf $3M DOGE $7M 1 week Cutting programs is smoke and mirrors to run amok and spend on tax cuts for the rich and frivolous bullshit #SheShed #DeportElon #AbuseOfPower

This guy is an absolute tool. Trump seems to think his attempts to re-write history and erase culture will be a winning play. This is authoritarian behavior and there will be a massive backlash. #KennedyCenter www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

“The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law.”

💥 Jamie Raskin says he’s contemplating a class action suit against Musk and Trump, on behalf of all Americans! Yes, please and thank you Senator Raskin!

The richest man in the world—who has now installed unqualified loyalists throughout the US government—is getting much of his information from far-right sources who present a world in which “Western Civilization” is in an existential struggle against Black and brown invaders.

NEW: In recent months, Donald Trump asked advisers for a “list” of staff at the National Archives who he should purge, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory The January 6 database has been quietly deleted in an attempt to erase history. But too many of us saw it unfold in real time. Too many of us know what happened. It is our duty to keep this history alive. truthout.org/articles/tru...

He’s “so into it” because he has so much to gain, you witless fool.

🚨Sen. Elissa Slotkin: “There is no king in this country.” Trump’s billionaire pals are accessing sensitive info without checks or disclosures. It’s illegal—and a threat to our democracy. “History will watch what we do.” Congress must stand up and defend the country we love.

1. EXCLUSIVE Today, the NSA is planning a "Big Delete" of websites and internal network content that contain any of 27 banned words, including "privilege," "bias," and "inclusion," a NSA source tells Popular Information. The massive purge is creating chaos, taking down "mission-related" work

The authoritarians & oligarchs benefit from us blaming eachother for the massive wealthy inequality in this country. Blame the corrupt billionaires, mega corporations, and big money in politics. Not your neighbor.

I’m a Trump biographer and a Musk biographer. And I’m telling you...the latter is harder. Elon does more abominable things daily than Trump. By a lot. He’s a firehose of horror, and I’m finding it extremely hard to keep up with his malevolence. He’s truly the worst person I’ve ever written about.

A statement from the Kennedy Center

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Their aim is nothing short of a new Dark Ages. Anti-science, anti-education, anti-democracy, in favor of needless human suffering. NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Why is the GOP shielding Elon Musk from Oversight!?  Maybe…because while we’re sitting here he’s dismantling agencies, threatening national security, stealing our data, and breaking the law.  Dems are not clutching our pearls.  Dems are fighting back.  And we won't stop!

Call me crazy, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for a dude who accepted 25K to participate in a Kremlin produced anti-FBI propaganda film to lead that very same FBI. I’d wager wecould probably find a better candidate, no? But hey, that’s just me… www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

NEW: President Trump is attempting to fire FEC Commissioner Weintraub. That contradicts both the law and the spirit of the bipartisan FEC. If he succeeds, that would unilaterally hobble an independent agency and invite more illegal influence in American elections.

The Trump administration's gutting of USAID is just a start: Elon Musk and President Trump's Cabinet and advisers are combing through agencies to purge those deemed to be anti-Trump, anti-American or too "woke," top officials tell Axios.

Warehousing migrants in dirty ‘ole shipping containers. What could possibly go wrong? #MassDeportation #Fail #RESIST www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

America, we have a HUGE problem….

Elon Musk's associates sought to use a critical Treasury payment system to shut down USAID spending just days after Trump's inauguration, emails show www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/p...

Oh dear

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.

It basically just means that Trump wants to do even more criminal acts and absolutely does not want to be held accountable by anyone…. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

Just sayin’

Rep. Moskowitz: In November, polls showed that 47% of Republicans wanted Elon Musk very involved with the government. Today that number is 26%

HURTING FARMERS: “U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo. That includes American farms, which supply about 41% of the food aid…” As with his trade wars, once again Trump’s actions are hurting Tennessee farmers. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Welcome back, polio.

Wow.. Just what we need the DOJ to do, and it’s being ordered by the Antichrist.
