If you aren’t completely outraged at this point…. You are in a coma or in denial.

State Department employees are being told they are ineligible for promotion unless they can prove they voted for Trump for president in 2016, 2020 and 2024. www.washingtonsun.com/administrati...

The Supreme Court ruled that New Hampshire can limit the use of student IDs for voting, siding with Republicans who argued that a lower court ruling that blocked enforcement of the policy came too close to Election Day. https://cnn.it/4ecI7dt

Trump's peace envoy praised Putin as a "humanitarian." Putin has killed more people on this planet than anyone else this century (Syria, Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, Africa) and Steve Witkoff worships and admires him.

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

This is correct observation! When an occupant of the White House is a Russian asset and is controlled by Russia, that occupant doesn’t care about the wellbeing of our democracy, he is working to make sure our democracy is dead. Awful to say it, but he’s succeeding. 😬😡😩

Three things: 1. The GOP is nothing more than the Lost Cause of the Confederacy, Nazi final solution, Russian Oligarchy, and Handmaid's Tale rolled into one. 2. It's never been about faith, the economy, manufacturing, abortion, or guns. 3. If you can't see the con you're the mark.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Hmmmn. If only@NYTimes still had investigative reporting to see if there just might be any connection… 🤔🔍

Interesting juxtaposition of 2 headlines in today's NY Times: Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Law (www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...) and Russia Appears to Step Up Efforts to Influence U.S. Voters (www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...)

The UN has adopted a political declaration on pandemic preparedness, with 153 countries voting in favor. Only the US, Israel and Argentina opposed it, while New Zealand and Paraguay abstained. 📰➡️ healthpolicy-watch.news/un-adopts-po... @who.int @wto.org @theindpanel.bsky.social

@nytimes.com One has to ask- Why Is this being framed as “in California”? There is, & rightly should be, nationwide horror that a sitting president would say anything remotely like this. Stop shielding this madman. Start asking the GOP where they stand. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/w...

Question: Galaxy is trying to force this AI (artificial idiot) on us via UI update. For a number of reasons I do not want this feature. Yet, I can't find anyway to prevent it. No way to stop the update? To whom cn I write or call or stop this? Please, constructive information is welcome.

Damn Google is trying to force AI on us with 'updates' to phones! Separate out security updates from AI bullshit.

As much as the Republicans despise alternative fuels, the obscene fuel prices generated by their unwarranted sneak attack on Iran ( stupid in the extreme )will spur on the adoption of alternative energy sources! Oil companies are reaping $ now, but ultimately they contributed to their own demise.
