As someone who is going to be needing *lots* of care from nurses in the very near future, maybe it wasn't the best idea to insult all of them. But Donald is smart like that.

It's a little sad that the number one thing standing in the way of fascism in America is the fascists' own incompetence. And yet, despite their overwhelming inconvenience, our institutions are barely holding.

The NIH is 1% of the federal budget. It's responsible for saving Americans today and far into the future. Yet, the Trump admin is hell bent on hobbling the NIH. Millions of dollars in lost research on cancer, Alzheimers and diabetes can't be fixed by thoughts, prayers, and beef tallow. #impeachrfk

Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Trump's allies in media and Congress would literally defend Trump killing your family for no reason. You know that is true. This is why MAGA is the greatest threat to the US since the fascist movements of World War II.

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

“Keep your voice down.”

“That’s enough of you.”

“Be nice; don’t be threatening.”

“There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

“Quiet, piggy.”

This is a sampling of what the president of the United States has said to and about female journalists.

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI.

So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

Just locker room crime and corruption
"The message is not that Trump is innocent, it's that *everyone is guilty.* Everyone assaults women, cheats on their taxes, uses public office for private gain. Propriety and following the rules? That stuff is for suckers. In a world of grift and graft, the most corrupt man should be king."
Why Trump can't make the Epstein scandal go away
His ordinary scandal management techniques are not working.

NEW: Using his clemency power, Trump has undone prosecutions made by his own DOJ during his first term.

Experts say the actions show a broad contempt for the justice system: “He’s rejecting ... the work of people he appointed but didn’t fully control.”

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
