NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.
We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."
Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...
If I were a billionaire, I'd use my wealth (and my fame) to help people less fortunate than me.
I certainly wouldn't be using it to demonize the less fortunate, and troll and crush them with the social media company I bought.
That's why people hate that fucker.
"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

CARTOON OF THE DAY
"OUR VETERANS HAVE DELIVERED FOR THIS NATION AND NOW WE MUST DELIVER FOR THEM" TRUMP
AP headline: Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo
Trump talks about loving veterans (left). Then fucks them over. 80000 jobs to be cut at the VA.
He is a treasonous disgrace.

Seems like a pretty important detail
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org
Ahem
So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?
Germany protesting
Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.
This Black History Month, as our communities battle attempts to whitewash history, use us as scapegoats, and undo our civil rights, we must show up louder than ever before.
Let us celebrate the Black LGBTQ+ leaders who came before us and let their legacy guide us.
Yass!
Interesting fact is that the majority of the IG’s he fired were his appointees from his last dumpster fire administration.
GIFT ARTICLE: The thing is- Trump does not have the authority to shutter FEMA, which would require congressional action. Things could change but historically, lawmakers from both parties have supported FEMA, knowing that their district or state could need the agency’s help at any time.
Fucking South African Nazi.
Trumpsters often say, “Politicians don’t keep it real or say what’s on their mind, but Trump does,” and that’s what they like about him.
MAGA, please meet Anders Vistisen of Denmark…
About Greenland: “Mr. Trump, f*ck off, It’s not for sale.”
To understand how an attack on birthright citizenship will be carried out, let alone prevail, it’s important to know what stands in the way of it.
@isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social reports on the playbook, decades in the making.
He’ll, he pulled us out of the WHO!
For all Trump's talk of manufacturing jobs, you didn't see the CEOs of GE and Caterpillar sitting in the prime seats today. You saw the CEOs of Amazon and X and Meta and Google and TikTok.
It's the attentional oligarchs whose power he cares about.
Three things that remain true, no matter what Trump does:
1) Trans people have as much right to express their identities with dignity as anyone else.
2) Immigrants are awesome, create wealth, and make our culture better.
3) Trade with people around the world enriches us, and not just financially.
When Republicans “claim to be the party of law and order, Americans should remember the day that [Trump] was willing to sacrifice the men and women of the thin blue line on the altar of his own ambitions,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes:
Today and every day…words to live by…
The celebrated early democracies of Greece and Rome fell after 200 years, and wisdom says that’s how long it took the people to forget how important it was to have a voice rather than a power-hungry figurehead.
I have been sadly alert to this day’s arrival since the USA’s 200th, in 1976.
🥺😞😥👿👿👿
And please spare the bullshit.
Trump WILL pardon many criminals over the next four years, whether Biden pardoned patriots who committed no crime or not.
Read it and get ready to fight this…thank you @wyden.senate.gov for sharing with us!
