The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 30, the number is 100%.
For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."
Un-fucking-real.
I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.
MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY
Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance.
AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.
At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.
Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.
The world in 2025.
Hundreds of thousands of Germans oppose neo-fascism.
The top aide to the president of the United States supports it.

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."
Among the countless federal workers that could be (+ are) impacted by the hiring freezes are Dept. of Interior, National Park Service, + USFWS employees. These new orders will leave parks + species recovery teams understaffed, thus impacting the very animals we're working to save.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
In 2024, we invited you to take a peek at the terrible future Donald Trump would impose on America. That vision is now becoming a reality for us all, but we refuse to submit to his dark vision for our country.
The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.
To all my American friends: We Canadians are well aware that there is only one person to blame for the trade war against our country - the Felon In Chief. We will fight because that is what we do, but our anger is not against you. Our bond will endure. 🇨🇦🫶🇺🇸
Eggs UP
Taxes UP
Gas UP
RX drugs UP
Dow Jones DOWN
Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, VA all on the chopping block.
Trump was never going to make anyone in America's life easier. In just 2 weeks he's made life harder for everyone except his billionaire friends.
I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.
If China took Taiwan tomorrow we wouldn't have the leadership to deal with the situation. We are the weakest we have been at any time in the last 200 years.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.
BREAKING: Former Senator Bob Menendez has been sentenced to 11 YEARS IN PRISON on federal bribery and corruption charges.
Because only ONE party, Democrats, believes in holding criminals in our midst accountable.
Here is irony:
trump supporters wave the "Don't Tread on Me" flag, but embrace Trump's executive orders, similar to a king's decrees, which tread on the same freedoms the Gadsden Flag symbolizes.
Make up your damn minds:
You want freedom or fascism?
What happened to the Republicans? They once stood for law and order. But today, the party has taken their position: standing with violent insurrectionists over the people who keep us safe from them.
Looks like the first felon president will have an alcoholic sex offender in charge of the most powerful military in history.
What could possibly go wrong?
Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.
It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.
I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock
