This si so embarrassing....also so scary...

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

"For the president to casually suggest that his government might not honor the redemption of certain T-bills risks nothing less than a wholesale reworking of the world financial system." And the markets...seem totally cool with it?

@RonFilipkowski Stop the world. I want to get off

Trump is gutting the FBI, CIA and NSA. He is intentionally making our nation less safe from terrorism--yet corporate media is barley covering this. And if we have an attack, Trump will use it to grab more power and suspend civil liberties. My article https://t.co/8pXZzdWeYY

@DuaneKnesek @DocBushLeague @kinderrach I follow a wheelchair user in a country w/o the ADA. She hasn’t been able to get bread for weeks or to the store at all because their laws don’t mandate accessibility. Is that what you want for your family in a walker? Your uncle who had a stroke? This is a truly cruel stance

[Zachary Cohen @ZcohenCNN]

A 23-year-old representative from Elon Musk’s DOGE was granted access to the Energy Department’s IT system on Wednesday by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, sources told CNN.

This despite objections from people in the agency, which controls access to info about the US nuclear weapons.

To me, this is actually worse than *not providing aid at all*. You have now dragged people into an experimental trial, and then are pulling the rug from them and endangering their lives in many cases. We put them in this position, and now we changed our minds and they're screwed.

@LauraMiers First - virtual hugs to you. Yes! Yes! Yes! To all you said so well

[Laura Miers @LauraMiers]

I was 38 when Covid disabled me. I went from living an active & full life (I ran like 30 miles a week, taught Vinyasa yoga, tennis, sailing, traveling—it was a dream) to bed-bound & deathly ill for YEARS. I even made End-of-Life plans. In 2021, Let It Rip countries decided to pretend Covid was benign & everyone was exempt from it, despite the fact that many immunocompromised people were getting vaccinated & dying of Covid anyway. Then we watched as all of our allies abandoned protections & us. People were EXPERTLY manipulated to believe *only* “the high-risk” would be dying, so it’s fine. The part the public didn’t hear is the part where Covid is a preexisting condition, & if you’ve had it, you’re probably “high risk” right now. You may not even know you had it until you die of a stroke or heart attack or rare diseases & cancers in your 20s, 30s, & 40s.

Ever since The Great Unmasking, young people have been dying in RECORD numbers, & in 2023, the U.S. reported the largest increase in pediatric mortality in 50+ years, but it’s never, ever COVID. It’s always lockdowns/substances/diet/genes/lifestyles—INDIVIDUALS are always to blame, but never the government, employers, or our broken system. We don’t collect data or do science when the results will require us to take action. We don’t even count the people who have been disabled by this virus. The New School of Public health works for business & business alone.

As the U.S. ignores 4 years of record disability & death, skyrocketing rare diseases/cancers, & an ongoing Pathogen Apocalypse featuring a F**K TON of once-rare pathogens western medicine doesn’t really have any experience with, no one will be spared. Like HIV, Covid causes immunodeficiency, leading to frequent infections with unusual pathogens, & each reinfection *dramatically* increases all the risks & causes more harm. When COVID disables you & then kills you prematurely, no it didn’t. That was all you. It’s your fault. Bad genes, bad lifestyle, bad diet, bad addictions, bad choices.

Our governments & corporate overlords aren’t content to simply cull us, they’re destroying our MEMORIES too. People don’t get to be remembered as pandemic victims killed by fascist governments that function to protect billionaires & record profits, rather they are remembered as causing their own premature deaths. It’s criminal. We are on our own.

Be good to yourselves & others, because we are speedrunning collapse, & things are going to move very quickly.

BREAKING NEWS:

This is terrible.

The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house.

Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

Out of order!? No, Elon Musk’s dismantling of the federal government is out of order.

Why is the GOP blocking a subpoena to have him appear in front of the Oversight Committee?

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

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 [phone] and ask why.
