Just a guy who's not happy with the direction of our government.
If you follow me, expect a lot of politics. I do be saying things. I think I'm funny at least.

There once was a man, RFKJ,
Whose vaccine claims led many astray.
When pressed, he denies,
And twists truth with lies—
While kids needlessly suffer and pay.
'Most effective way' to prevent measles is vaccination, RFK Jr. says, in most direct remarks yet
Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Sunday that "the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine,” his most direct statement yet on the issue.

Scott Bessent is one of those "the economists were wrong" types of guys in defense of tariffs and Trump tax plans.
He outright said that he didn't believe that tariffs would drive us into a recession.
Will he resign when he's wrong? Nah, he'll just claim that we're not in a recession.

April 20th is 90 days from Trump's EO declaring a national emergency at the southern border. What is the Insurrection Act of 1807? It allows the President to direct the military to operate WITHIN US borders to quell unrest. We can NOT allow this to happen!

What moniker will they give tomorrow's "Black Monday"?

The big protests yesterday were a HUGE success! Great job to @indivisible.org and all its partners for organizing the 4/5/25 events.

For every one of these 5K+ protests, there were also many protests in smaller communities. I went out to Federal Way, WA. We had about 500 people there!

Here's the Fox News homepage.

If this is the only place you get your news, you wouldn't know the markets are crashing.

Are the Republicans still winning? It feels like we're all losing.

Um — Trump just turned over management of our 🇺🇸 strategic petroleum reserve to a mystery company, who will get $1.4 billion to run it? 🤔

Anyone notice the difference between Fox News' homepage and just about every other major news source?

While the country's markets are plummeting, everything on the front page of Fox News is hunky dory. This is why Republicans are so uninformed. They don't know what's happening.

If your bank account balance doesn't have multiple commas, Trump is not for you.
If you are STRUGGLING, even just a little bit, Trump is not for you.
If you wake up every day to work a job you don't like, Trump is not for you.
If it hurts you to see others suffering, Trump is not for you.

It's here - Judgeme- I mean, "Liberation Day".

Tariffs are part of what preceded The Great Depression.
Tariffs reduce imports - obviously. But they also lead to reciprocal tariffs from others. Our exports will fall sharply.

Thank you for your organization efforts and everything you've done surrounding #TeslaTakedown.

On my way into work today, I saw three Teslas with "F Elon" magnets on the back of their cars. Not a huge amount, but it was 7AM on a Sunday morning.

Can we create lists with a "Mute All" button instead?

In slightly less political news, it looks like all the racist "alpha" boys that were upset about not having a white male lead in "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" had little impact on sales.
Assassin's Creed Shadows Hits 2 Million Players 2 Days After Release, Ubisoft Says It’s Now Surpassed Origins and Odyssey Launches - IGN
Ubisoft says Assassin's Creed Shadows has hit the 2 million players mark two days after its release date, surpassing the launches of both Origins and Odyssey.

The ACA has helped so many people.
Thanks, Obama. We miss you dearly.
Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Here's an idea:

A service that sits on hold with the SSA all day across multiple lines. Instead of calling the SSA, seniors with issues call the service and take over the line already on hold, effectively cutting their hold time. SSA Fast Pass?
Thoughts?

Tens of thousands of Americans are showing up to the @aoc.bsky.social / @sanders.senate.gov rallies. Why are our country's largest news outlets refusing to cover them?

Trump administration working towards controlling all US Communications through actions at the FCC and VOA.
Eventually, if successful, they will be able to control the narrative even more than is possible now. Opinions and misinformation could be treated as fact and we will be none-the-wiser.
Scary.

While our country is in peril, Senator Chuck Schumer is using this week off from the Senate to tour the US to sell his fucking book.
We're not like the GOP. We're not interested in following grifters. We care about your actions, not your words.
Get back to work, Chuck. #DoYourJob.

We knew it would happen. KKKomrade Trump has DEFIED court orders and continued with the deportation of more than 200 Venezuelans without any kind of due process.
These humans have been sent to a max security prison to be worked to death.
This wasn't supposed to happen, right Schumer?
US deports hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador despite court order
Their arrival comes less than 24 hours after a federal judge blocked a law Trump planned to use for the deportations.
