The attitudes of Trump supporters and the policies Trump passes has been reminding me a lot of my time in Russia. But now, seeing national guard around cities and in metros, it REALLY physically reminds me of my time in Russia.

Liberals: “there should be consequences for schools that push political agendas and hate using debunked science, falsified history and Religious teachings, for the sake of public interest.”

Conservatives: “noooo free speech!”

How is there not already an article title by @theonion.com that reads “US first state to join the new Soviet Union”?

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub. I always carry this in my first aid kit. My neighbor was shot in the leg last week. They had to amputate, but by the time the paramedics arrived I had his skin looking bump-free.

It all started when I saw a really strange, single comment on a post in the r/intelligence subreddit. The post was a weird, sci-fi philosophy sounding post with a single equally strange comment on it. I think the post was from a bot, and then I dove deeper in the comment which also seemed like a bot

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Clearly John Fetterman wasn’t monitoring the different subreddits for federal workers. There was monumental agreement among gov employees to shut down as an alternative to hundreds of thousands losing their jobs unlawfully.
The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.

Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.

I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

As someone whose regional focus is Russia, I do appreciate a congressperson addressing the American people and pointing out how Trump is copying Putin’s playbook. The U.S. is slipping into a system of blatant corruption, that mirrors modern day Russia.

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

My friends in public sector are being laid off, are scared of being laid off, or just lost their pathway into public sector via PMF. My heart breaks for them.

Trump supporters in my life are being so callous. They show empathy but then add caveats. You’re not empathetic if you add a caveat.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Even though Rubio promised life-saving aid wouldn't be interrupted, it has essentially been halted worldwide, interrupting HIV and TB treatment and threatening millions of lives. People are dying today because of these chaotic, inconsistent stop work orders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

A new directive puts further exemptions on hold. Aid workers also say the U.S. government has made it impossible to pay partners around the world.

Republicans at risk of being “primaried” by Trump and his billionaire goon squad should work with Dems to pass legislation that blocks unlimited funding to campaigns and ends super pacs.

Fuck Citizens United, its consequences should end here.

As #Severance s2 finally streams tonight, I just wanted to say thanks to all the incredible fans who have waited so long and stuck with us. Our hope is you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

It’s never finished till you engage with it. So excited for the dialogue to begin.
