@maddow.bsky.social just read Blow Out. It explains Trump’s illegal decision on diesel from Russia. We must all vote! Do you have anything similar on when the anti medicine trend got hold of them and why the funding research dried up?
@jumblejim.bsky.social I had a dream last night. Not Jensen or Jared or Misha. It was w/Jim Beaver. Two folks born in the same century,(decade),having a reasonable conversation about life. Sparked by reading Family don’t end in blood.
@jumblejim.bsky.social Have you watched “ One battle after another”? I’m on the fence but ended up seeing as a dark comedy but on point as a past and present reflection and it was written 15 years ago. Sean Penn, Leo Di. Brilliant.
@nicholewallace.bsky.social Jeff Daniel’s song is what we all need !! Tears!

@maddow.msnbc.com does the birthright executive order give a start date as to what year of birth this starts? As of 2025? So his children with Ivan’s and Melania would be exempt? It would help those born b4 2025 to know their status. Clarification.

Bingo…
And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Total federal spending is up +8% in 2025 year-to-date on April 9 over 2024. The illusion that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere. Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.

these terminations are good evidence that this is just wanton destruction by deranged ideologues. there is no rhyme or reason other than whatever makes sense to a bunch of zoomer nazis and their bosses and enablers
The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.
Breaking news: Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the mail provider and trillions of dollars of ecommerce transactions into turmoil.
