I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Maunday Thursday. Good Friday. Easter Sunday. MAGA so-called Christians are celebrating Holy Week by sending an innocent immigrant to the gulag in El Salvador and are mum on the attempted murder of Governor Shapiro during Passover.

I wish them the hell they believe in.

Bring it on, man!!
It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Grateful I had parents who believed in vaccines and I passed that belief to my daughter by making sure she had all the vaccines available including this one against human papilloma virus. Why invite needless suffering and death? I just don’t get it.

I support this message.
As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:

Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Do it! Call FOTUS Putin’s little bitch on national tv!
Leader Jeffries... I need you to call Trump a "bitch" on national tv... it's literally the only way you'll get Democrats back... diplomacy isn't the way. These are unprecedented times.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you MAGA’s idea of masculinity: Rubio at the WH yesterday, demurely sitting hands folded across his lap like a nineteenth century child waiting to be seen. I hope he’s having deep regrets about becoming SecState. Was it worth it Lil Marco?
March 1, 2025 at 12:24 PM
As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Ukrainians, this American, the daughter, niece, and daughter-in-law of WW2 veterans, is deeply ashamed of trump’s behavior generally and especially yesterday with President Zelenskyy. Most of us are very proud of how courageously you’ve defended your country and want you to succeed.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

RFK Jr.’s nomination and confirmation in a nutshell 👇🏼
The reason: a diseased population is easier to control. The goal is to destroy America for the benefit of the autocracies these people are allied with.
An FDA vaccine advisory committee meeting scheduled for March to select the strains to be included in next season's flu shot has been canceled, according to a panel member. Officials did not offer an explanation for the scrapped meeting.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
@aoc.bsky.social
Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

Despicable way to treat a decorated veteran, taking him into custody by ICE after his citizenship papers were lost. I think any veteran who served honorably should be given an easy ride to full citizenship.
Jose Barco, a decorated U.S. Army veteran once based out of Fort Carson who served 2 tours in Iraq, was taken into custody last month by ICE because his citizenship papers, which were supposed to be processed while he was in the Army, were lost.

Read his story:

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue. Please stay updated and bookmark this page for your health and well-being.

👀 👀 👀 Federal health websites are being wiped off!!
This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x
