This sounds so freaking scary. And so possible to happen.

We are living in a nightmare.
We have the connection folks... RFK jr will find the cause of autism to be something that Elon's neurolink. can fix. Since there is no longer any kind of an FDA, and he is involved with that, guess who is going to fast pass the "cure". This is so fucking dangerous I cannot even....

How odd!

I clearly recall an announcement by Zuck in January 2025 that Meta would stop fact checking to rely on Community Notes instead. Multiple news agencies even reported on it.

Yet I saw Meta had indeed fact checked something about Donold today.

Hmmmm

Plus pilots rely on NOAA to select flight plans or if they need to find a new path. DOGE already made flying less safe by firing air traffic controllers. Now he's making it worse.
The bloodbath at NOAA apparently included meteorologists with the National Weather Service; scientists inside what’s simply known as NOAA Research, or the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) more formally; technicians that keep up the country’s weather instrumentation;
NOAA returns/produces so much more money to the American economy than it costs, no stories about any of this should allow them the absolutely bullshit "savings" framing

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable.

2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

Does "personal liberties" no longer include free speech?

Farewell old friend WaPo. You were fantastic during Watergate, but now you're dead at the hands of an oligarch authoritarian.

trump/vance aligned USA w/Russia over Ukraine & other world democracies. As if he made a promise to deliver it, but is struggling to do it. Given the coward he is & that the war isn't going well for Russia, what are the odds that he may try to send US soldiers to Russia's defense as appeasement?

It's been the Gulf of Mexico since the 1500s. Long before the United States of America existed.
It's called the fucking Gulf of Mexico. Pass it on.

We actually could be great again if we followed the example of a different Republican.

Nothing to add. He says it well. Are we great yet?

He's correct. And all of it is the direct result of DOGE, which is likely a shield for FOTUS.

I've been quiet about recent events here, but quite vocal on platforms owned by Zuck. But now have gotten Musk accounts trying to reach me & they can't be restricted or blocked so think I maybe I've ruffled someone's feathers. So I am back. Already had my account there taken down once.

Meanwhile, over on book of faces, I reposted a Scientific America article on White Throated Sparrow's unusual mating habits. (The more brightly colored birds are not always male and both bright & drab birds sing to attract mates.)

Meta removed my post. They removed a post on sparrows! WTAF?

JFC!
The Trump administration is literally just shipping brown people out of the US.

They don't care if they are sent back to their home countries or not.

Or if they separate families forever.

This is so much worse than last time.
🚨 Update: we were able to track down Yesenia, the mother picked up with her 2 kids in Tucson.

After a night of interrogation at Border Patrol station, the Venezuelan mother of 4 was deported to Mexico.

Her husband and two of her kids remain in US.

Remember when Sinéad O'Connor ripped up a picture of the Pope on SNL and everybody freaked out? I wish there was half that much outrage against Trump as he rips up the actual US Constitution.
