Emcee in DC

The attitudes of Trump supporters and the policies Trump passes has been reminding me a lot of my time in Russia. But now, seeing national guard around cities and in metros, it REALLY physically reminds me of my time in Russia.

Liberals: “there should be consequences for schools that push political agendas and hate using debunked science, falsified history and Religious teachings, for the sake of public interest.” Conservatives: “noooo free speech!” *students protest the killing of civilians in Gaza Conservatives:

How is there not already an article title by @theonion.com that reads “US first state to join the new Soviet Union”?

my offer to america: we bring woke back

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub. I always carry this in my first aid kit. My neighbor was shot in the leg last week. They had to amputate, but by the time the paramedics arrived I had his skin looking bump-free. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DVH7YZ2...

The American people don’t know what soft power is and it shows…

Expansionism👏is👏wrong👏 Empiricalism👏is👏wrong👏 Sovereignty👏should👏be👏respected👏

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

As someone whose regional focus is Russia, I do appreciate a congressperson addressing the American people and pointing out how Trump is copying Putin’s playbook. The U.S. is slipping into a system of blatant corruption, that mirrors modern day Russia. youtu.be/hycoCYenXls?...

Worst. Episode. EVER.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

My friends in public sector are being laid off, are scared of being laid off, or just lost their pathway into public sector via PMF. My heart breaks for them. Trump supporters in my life are being so callous. They show empathy but then add caveats. You’re not empathetic if you add a caveat.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Even though Rubio promised life-saving aid wouldn't be interrupted, it has essentially been halted worldwide, interrupting HIV and TB treatment and threatening millions of lives. People are dying today because of these chaotic, inconsistent stop work orders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Imagine the bliss someone must feel by not being extremely online. Just totally oblivious. Maybe they’re eating a chip

Some fun facts that somebody running the country should know about but doesn’t.

From Reddit, an email sent out from one employee to ALL EEOC employees. Thank you for holding the line, I hope more follow suit across all government orgs.

DEI programs were created to give everyone who meet objective standards a fair shot at serving our country. Diversity has changed America for the BETTER. Rolling back these programs and offices with an executive order is completely disgraceful. www.cnn.com/2025/01/21/p...

Republicans at risk of being “primaried” by Trump and his billionaire goon squad should work with Dems to pass legislation that blocks unlimited funding to campaigns and ends super pacs. Fuck Citizens United, its consequences should end here.

As #Severance s2 finally streams tonight, I just wanted to say thanks to all the incredible fans who have waited so long and stuck with us. Our hope is you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. It’s never finished till you engage with it. So excited for the dialogue to begin. Praise Kier

My uncle’s husband worked for RFK and called him “the dumbest person he ever met” and an “absolute horror to work with” when I saw him at Christmas and I wish I pressed for more detailed stories but damn was he serious as hell when he said it.

The issue isn’t whether Universal Healthcare can work. The issue is how do we get from where we are to UH. It took Canada decades and it has a ton of limits we might not like. The point being we have to find a starting point that can grow it into what works here www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits. The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

Just a small reminder there was never a time in US history where the government stoked mass hysteria over far right, fascist values that led to scapegoating, arrests, and people losing their elected positions, unlike what we saw with the Red Scare attacking the left, and I think that is significant.

I wish politicians talked less about immigrants and more about trains. With high speed rails, we would >create long lasting - high skill jobs >ease the burden on airports >generate revenue for government >increase tourism in the US (both foreign and domestic) >create more train enthusiasts

Blocking is such a nice feature. It’s so tempting to respond to someone else’s negative comment, but the argument that follows can suck. Instead of having to choose to not engage, you can still take action by blocking the user, and it gives a bit of satisfaction knowing you did something for urself

If they had anything of substance, they wouldn’t have to make things up.

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas” Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas. Hit us up @hallmarkchannel.bsky.social @netflix.com 🙏

Let’s make it easier to sue healthcare companies for denial of payment for treatment. Let’s make healthcare companies held criminally liable for denying payment for life saving care. Let’s make it illegal for AI to process claims, it must pass human eyes. Eliminate for profit healthcare.

Public money is for public schools. If religious schools want tax money, tax the churches.

LESSONS UNLEARNED 1956: These kids are now your parents’ and grandparents’ age—and their thought process is alive and well going into 2025. Today: ‘ban books’ - ‘stop woke’ - ‘DEI hire’

I love how every other democratic country is making us look more and more like idiots.
