If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

The corruption of this administration is beyond understanding.

Would not want to be on the side supporting them.

Deciding it’s too dangerous to reveal just how unpopular the current president is seems like the worst poll result ever.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

The US HHS Department is promoting the Trump regime's efforts to recreate the Golden Age by fostering the spread of Golden Age diseases.
The vaccine maker Moderna said on Tuesday that the FDA had notified the company that the agency would not review its mRNA flu vaccine, the latest sign of federal health policy that has become hostile to vaccine development.
F.D.A. Refuses to Review Moderna Flu Vaccine
The vaccine maker’s shots involve the successful Covid vaccines’ RNA technology. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has broadly rejected it, canceling millions of dollars in research projects.

It has been reported that Donald Trump's name appears in the Epstein files 38,000 times.

That is a lie.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) has said that when he searched for Trump in the unredacted files, Trump’s name came up “more than a million times.”

We should be calling them “The Trump Files.”

The President of the United States is organizing an insurrection against the Constitution of the United States. He is fomenting civil war. All because he has an extremely fragile infantile ego.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Do you:
1) Live near/in Buffalo?
2) Like to organize stuff?
3) Hate what the government is doing to science?

If you answered yes, help me organize the Stand Up for Science rally on March 7th! I need reps from UB, Buff State, Canisius, D’Youville to spread the word. I need general support. DM me!

Americans don't care that their president is a felon, a rapist, a pedophile, and a virulent racist. In fact they love him for it. America is sick.
