Adams was scheduled to go on trial in April until new leadership at the Justice Department under the Trump administration ordered prosecutors in New York in February to drop the case, sparking a public outcry and resignations of prosecutors.
The Democratic Party did not save us from the Republican Party.
The Republican Party did not save us from ourselves.
And now 1/3 of our citizens will be persecuting, jailing, deporting, and killing another 1/3 of our citizens while the last 1/3 watches the Fascist Apprentice on Fox News.
Sad.
BREAKING: Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine.
To the rest of the world, we hate this motherfucker as much as you do.
Western countries must keep military aid flowing to Ukraine, Starmer warns

When I was in Congress we were constantly told to not call social security a “Ponzi scheme” unless we want to never win another election.
Elon Musk just called social security a “Ponzi scheme.”
But hasn’t touched his contracts with the govt yet
Just making sure everyone saw what the former Social Security Administrator told CNBC on Saturday...
Very tough day yesterday, with the US siding with Russia against Ukraine. But at least all of those people who told us for three years that Ukraine was just a US proxy will now admit they were wrong (no?)
The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.
DOGE uses the word "fraud" to destroy in at least 6 ways:
1) The bait and switch. When Musk says "fraud," people who benefit from government programs are supposed to think "that applies to others, but not to me." The idea of "fraud" creates a sense of us-and-them.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.
LGBTQ+ support showing multi colored flag with the words You are loved, accepted, and celebrated just as you are in the foreground.
Love will always be more resplendent than the darkness of hate can conquer.
This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.
This was the first time in their lives, I realized, that these boys and girls had been in an actual classroom. The Russian invasion began as covid was ending. Two years of covid seclusion had been followed directly by three years of war. The kids were buoyant.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

::MEASLES OUTBREAK IN TEXAS::
A large measles outbreak is rapidly escalating in Texas incl Gaines, Lubbock, and Lynn counties where vaccination rates are low.
Over 30 children with confirmed infection, many of whom are hospitalized. Multiple suspected cases are under investigation.
The goal here is not reform but destruction. Think it makes no sense? It doesn’t. Authoritarians want to bring universities to their knees. This is how to do it. www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/n...

At some point, and hopefully soon, the national guard will need to be called in to arrest the capitol security police who are enforcing illegal EOs.
They have a duty to refuse illegal orders and uphold the constitution
