The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

He’s calling people who receive federal assistance “parasites” while taking $8 million a day from U.S. taxpayers—plus another $400 million on the way for armored Teslas. What a hypocrite. This administration is full of terrible people.

They…turned off…National Institutes of Health grants? That’s nearly $50 billion of scientific research.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

After 10 years of running for president and being elected twice, convicted felon and known con artist Donald Trump still only has “concepts of a plan” for health care one month before inauguration.

But Kamala Harris needed to provide more details during her 107-day campaign. 🙄

This strikes me as a bit like mcCarthyism…..
Trump and his Secretary of Defense nominee have proposed purging military officers they view as too "woke."
A Heritage funded group is proposing names: offers who served on a DEI panel, or written about race, or sought to recruit at a historically Black college.

So let me get this straight.

If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check.

But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't?

Got it.

As a fan of the Wicked stage show, I went in skeptical of the movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! The sets, the costumes, the musical numbers, Cynthia and Ariana were all fantastic. And I'm not even mad they split it up into Part 1 & 2. Looking forward to seeing part 2!
