Rep. Ritchie Torres Jen Rubin interview fired #USAID worker, Nancy Bolan

"Nancy Bolan — who has spent over 25 years saving the lives of mothers and newborn babies — was fired from her health care position at USAID on January 28 as part of Elon Musk's purge at the U.S. Agency for International Development."

The #hypocrisy, complicity & the silent of the #media exposing it is truly nauseating.

It's just sickening to keep reading these BS coming from the shit-for-brain orange Hitler that everyone criticizing, but they just ignore his genocidal comments about #Palestinians.

I’m not a psychologist.

But Trump’s malignant narcissism seems plain.

I’m not a lawyer.

But the collapse of checks and balances and the resultant constitutional crisis seems plain.

I’m not an economist.

But the hollowing out of the public sector for the benefit of corporations and billionaires seems plain.

I am an historian.

And the convergence of these forces has never ended well.

Midnight in America.

More evidence of #Musk's #fascism & his plot to help Trump destroy America with #DOGE. WKRs are systematically silenced & fired:

It's kind of wild that the group in America most able to separate "Jew" from "Israeli Nationalist" is the far right fascists.

At least they manage to be grossly anti-semetic and blindly support Israel in committing genocide at the same time.

Here's what the #Democrats should have done, and what they could still do:

As a group, they say the word.

"Rapist."

Then they say it again, until Republicans start to object, and then they say it louder, over and over, rising into a steady chant until every Democrat in the room is standing and shouting that one-word indictment until their ears ring with the effort.

Jeffries doesn't believe in anything. Schumer has no principles. Our "leadership" has no convictions. So they can't even begin to decide what to fight for. They are completely aimless, rudderless buffoons flailing around baffled that citizens don't buy their shtick and think their morons.

Love this story about an 80-year-old Philly man who spent $50K to take out a full-page ad in the NY Times to criticize Trump.
He’s received almost 13,000 emails according to the article, just four negative!

I also encourage you to attend a local Stand Up for Science <https://standupforscience2025.org/> rally at noon Friday local time, either the main rally in Washington DC or one of the 31 other local rallies being held throughout the country. If there's no SUFS rally near you but you're on a college campus, there may be someone organizing a SUFS walkout. Ask around or look for flyers, or even organize one yourself <https://standupforscience2025.org/local-event-information/#:~:text=How%20to%20Participate%20in%20a%20Walkout%3A>!

Näköjään datajournalismin pioneerisivusto 538 on lakkautettu eilen osana omistaja Disneyn laajaa irtisanomisohjelmaa. Uutisen mukaan myös muut USAn suuret mediayhtiöt siirtävät painopistettä pois uutis- ja ajankohtaissisällöistä urheiluun ja viihteeseen. Mitäpä sitä enää raportoimaan reaalimaailman tapahtumista, kuten fasismin voittokulusta, kun voi sen sijaan tunkea tuutin täyteen eskapismia. Tämä on aikamme kuva.

US protests exist.

"500+ protesters rallied in downtown Bellingham, Washington on Tuesday, chanting slogans in opposition to the Trump administration’s actions to remake governmental institutions through mass firings and procedural changes, along with his toppling of longstanding international alliances."

One protester: “The (attacks on) trans rights really affect my family, and I feel like they’re coming for my family."

Europe and Canada can help Americans fight to defend their dying democracy by boycotting American products and services, especially those made by individuals and companies that support Donald J. Trump. #uspol #sotu


#Trump trashes the federal work force for not being at work in person since the pandemic, & says those who “resist this change will be removed from office immediately.”

The days of being ruled by “unelected bureaucrats” are over, Trump says.

#Democrats scoff & point up at the gallery where #Musk is sitting.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus [#CBC], including Illinois Rep #LaurenUnderwood, plan to wear black to the speech to "capture the party's somber mood," according to her & to reports from Axios.

Other members are planning to wear blue & yellow to show solidarity with #Ukraine, just days after #Trump ordered a pause on military #aid to the country.

Tonight, at #Trump’s speech, members of the #Democratic #Women’s Caucus — will be dressed in a bright pink.

New Mexico Rep Teresa Leger Fernández, chair for the 96-member caucus, explained to Time that the pink is meant to “signal our protest of Trump’s policies which are negatively impacting women & families.”

All of #Trump supporters' reasons for supporting Trump are invalidated by his positions on #Israel.
"He puts America first" he puts Israel first.
"He's making peace" he's assisting Israel's mass murder and tyranny.
"He supports free speech" but not speech which criticizes Israel.
