“Hey! Just a heads up that I’m canceling Hulu/Disney until they reinstate Jimmy Kimmel. They can fuck all the way off with censoring comedy.”

Sounds about right:
Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Why should farmers get a bailout when small businesses are getting decimated?
These tariffs are wrecking our economy and any semblance of business planning and forecasting. I’m way past empathy for those who voted for this!

Restore CDC website is up! 🤩✌️
The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Yes! We need to get back to a place where our WORD MATTERS! Where we don’t bait and switch.. to our countrymen, our vets, our allies… I miss US!
Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Thank you to these civil servants who take their oath seriously!
This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now.

Steady stream of aviation errors. Will anyone who voted for them even question this?
1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC
1/31: Crash in Philly
2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle
2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska
2/10: Crash in Scottsdale
2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego
2/16: Crash in Covington, GA
7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Here’s a choice snippet… wellness farms to detox. For 3-4 YEARS. What brilliance, solving the lack of agriculture workers (due to threat of deportation) at the same time!

It would be great if this administration (I use that term loosely) would consider consequences of ANY of their actions.
The American public is in between the FA and the FO stages of FAFO. The callous and reckless actions we’ve seen so far will reverberate for decades, it hasn’t even been a month.

It’s been known that Musk was being investigated by multiple agencies. What fun this must be for him. All while being cheered on like the savior of government overspending and white power.
Musk isn’t making government smaller.
He’s shutting down the parts of the government that have been investigating his companies for safety violations and ties to Russia.

The “Golden Age”, also known as “The Age of the Oligarchy?” Not looking so golden for the American people!
Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Old fashioned word? Nope, to 99.9% of us, it’s a word we use almost daily. Your name is sometimes used in the same sentence too, with other common words like “liar,” “fraud,” and “felon.”
Trump: Groceries, sort of an old fashioned word. The price of groceries went through the roof… You take a look at eggs today— I mean, the eggs are double, triple, quadruple, they’re going through the roof. No, there’s some outside problem with eggs maybe.

A huge win for all of his followers who were thrilled when he stopped his town hall and instead swayed to his Maralago dinner music playlist for 30 minutes. Congrats.
Trump just terminated the Chair of the Kennedy Center and has installed himself as the new chair.
He says he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” and says it “must reflect” what he chooses.

Stupid social media posts? Seriously. Dude, HATERS HATE. Period. They might learn to self-edit when they age a little, but that hatred just expands, deepens, becomes more insidious. If that was my husband? JD better not eat or drink ANYTHING in my presence.

What the actual what?! The "leader" of the US tells the country and the world that we have terrible security... as a reply to someone voicing concern that DOGE has access to everyone's sensitive information. He's not even close to being coherent.
Trump on DOGE obtaining Americans' personal information, including social security numbers and bank numbers: "They get it very easily. We don't have very good security in our country."
