Remember when Republicans wanted to impeach Bill Clinton because big donors got to stay a night in the Lincoln bedroom? Seems quaint now.

If DOGE wants to root out "waste, fraud and abuse" in the healthcare area re: Medicaid, how about they cut out the wasteful, price gouging mafia middlemen in between us and our doctors, the insurance companies, and make Americans' healthcare entirely self funding with one payer?

Our immigration carceral system is designed to create a permanent underclass of subminimum wage workers who can't speak up about workplace abuse or unionize for fear of deportation. Corporations like DoorDash prefer immigrants to be under threat, and that's who Trump represents.

Ok now vote is back on. To be clear this is basically a purely symbolic vote on a framework that won’t pass the senate and should be an absolute lay up

This is "The Boardroom" from Donald Trump’s “reality” show “The Apprentice.” Look at the top and you can see where the wall ends because it wasn’t a real boardroom. It was a set built on a soundstage because Trump’s real offices were small and shoddy. The show created an *illusion* of Trump success.

Of these two, the one bigot above or the classy lady below.  Hate is not good for anyone.  

"Trump Signs Executive Order to ‘Promote the Resettlement of White Afrikaner Refugees’ in the U.S." Trump finally finds refugees he will accept: WHITE ones from South Africa. This is real. Musk trying to help his fellow white apartheid lovers http://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-…

This man, who might be high on Ketamine at any given moment, talks privately with Putin. He is not elected, nor is he appointed by Congress. He’s ‘outside’ of government.

He has hired a crew of young rightwing nerds and they are now inside every fucking computer system in the government. They work for a Russian agent.

Don’t be surprised when, sometime soon, every system shuts down or worse, every dime of US money is flying into Russian accounts.

It is painful to see that it would be so easy to destroy a big country like America.

Horribly hateful people / person the above.

“This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.” of course it is they’re just using DEI as a cover.

Oh carp with all going on I forgot to post this. Hey trying something different.

This time I tried to not only use memes and cartoons but also stuff from Bluesky I like.   Let me know if that is something you all enjoy.  If the Bluesky links to far more important news links is jarring to your viewing, again let me know.  Hugs

Did he get a chubby while he was talking about Gitmo?

Wait for it… Wait for it…
Reintroduction of segregation.

First it will be the women.
Then the LGBTQ+
Then the POC

Immigrants currently serving will be deported segregated back to their country of origin.

Not to worry. President Musk will address the nation this week from the Oval Office on the subject.

This is how to be an ally to the trans community.Also, this isn't just an ex NFL player, he's the first punter ever inducted into the hall of fame.

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) 2025-02-20T12:46:44.935Z

It’s amazing to me that people still question whether or not Trump is a stooge for Putin.

Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan.bsky.social) 2025-02-20T13:12:59.199Z

Punchbowl News reporting that Trump and Hegseth plan to start firing top generals, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who was overwhelmingly Senate-approved for a 4-year term back in 2023.No one can say they weren’t warned.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding”Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure.We are all in this together, and we all go down together.I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com) 2025-02-21T22:18:44.770Z

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!AMAZING

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out.Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) 2025-02-22T16:16:22.822Z

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC.You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself.It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research.Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com) 2025-02-21T21:24:19.179Z

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan.bsky.social) 2025-02-22T12:47:25.041Z

A sitting congressman calling Elon Musk a dick is now considered a threat by the DOJ and are now starting a criminal investigation. This is the death of free speech in the United States.

Gotta have more memes. Wednesday’s memes are going out today as I was flat out busy yesterday.

A news headline under the "Economic Policy" section reads: "Musk’s DOGE seeks access to personal taxpayer data, raising alarm at IRS." Below the headline, a subheading states: "The unusual request would put sensitive data about millions of American taxpayers in the hands of Trump political appointees." A timestamp indicates the article was posted 21 minutes ago. At the bottom, there is an icon showing an estimated reading time of "4 min." The background is black, and the text is white.

A screenshot of a Twitter/X exchange between 60 Minutes and Elon Musk. The 60 Minutes post, made 2 hours ago, discusses former USAID administrator Andrew Natsios refuting claims by Donald Trump that USAID is rife with fraud. Natsios is quoted as saying, "The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID. I have written actually widely on this subject." The post includes an image of Natsios sitting in a dimly lit room, wearing glasses, a suit, and a sweater, with a red overlay highlighting the quote. The 60 Minutes tweet has 360 replies, 428 retweets, 899 likes, and 53K views.

Below, Elon Musk responds an hour later, stating:
"60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world! They engaged in deliberate deception to interfere with the last election. They deserve a long prison sentence." His tweet appears in the standard X interface, with his profile picture showing him speaking on stage with an American flag in the background.

It is a cult

 

Sunday meme post and I forgot to get them thinking Wednesdays meme post was this one. Got up at 2 am to finish it

President Sheinbaum trolled Trump good displaying the first ever full map of North America in 1600s naming the entire continent America Mexicana.

Republican Jesus:
I was hungry, and you called me a moocher
I was thirsty, and you smashed my water bottle
I was naked, and you called me a pervert
I was sick, and you cut off my insurance
I was in prison, and you called for longer minimum sentences
I was a foreigner, and you demanded to see my papers

A lawyer who represents Federal Employees.. the last bit is chilling.

Forget the belt! “Daddy” really needs to take the lifts off.

This screen grab shows the Orange fucker as he is. Just fucking bitter and vile.

I went to whitehouse.gov, after not seeing it for a while. Biden’s site reflected a government for ALL the American people. Trump’s is like a fracking political campaign site, full of lies! After he WON the election!

I hesitate to even share these examples…

On January 7, 2015 the editorial cartooning community suffered a horrible blow Read on Substack

The attack at the Paris offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo left 12 people dead, including five cartoonists, and set off a worldwide debate about free speech and satire.
