I would never suggest that the world would be better off without a homicidal idiot hell bent on harming all of us.
Mayyyybe
Excellent display of truthful knowledge.
I was thinking of some other Kennedys.

1/31 I believe there is growing evidence, that the White House is covering up the fact that Donald Trump has been dealing with TIA strokes. AND that he likely had a more significant ischemic stroke this week.
It’s had to shake the idea that he’s supposed to be with the rest of the Kennedys.
Here's a better response to RFK's destruction of our public health system than what Senator Schatz is offering here, from JB Pritzker (with some additional ideas thrown in from me and public health experts): newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Charlie Kirk is a dumbass. His only claim to fame is pulling nuggets out of his ass and making it sound convincing.
Why the fuck do you treat this as legitimate?
An incredible story of courage in the face of danger. Ryan Palattao, in a wheelchair, survived because his teacher, Becca Heer, pulled him under a pew and threw herself over him to protect him. His family calls her a "guardian angel." www.startribune.com/he-couldnt-r...
They have a lots of National Socialist bullshit with them. I tend to feel much of what they are doing is a cross between that and Stalinism.
Nearly every living former director or acting director of the CDC from the past half-century jointly argued in The New York Times that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "is endangering every American's health." www.commondreams.org/news/rfk-jr-...
Texas is the Medicaid pilot plan for the US.....
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.

Perhaps Putin is ready to start slowly releasing the kompromat triggering aTrump resignation for health reasons to keep the dirt under wraps: From a friend: "Financial records showing illicit transactions connected to accounts either owned by Trump or clearly affiliated with his name.
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
“Maybe they don’t realize how far-reaching these programs are,” said Colley, who voted for Trump in 2024. Among those half a million homes that HOME helped build, 84% were in districts that voted for him last year, the AP analysis found.
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
The clothing looks like shit. Who wants to wear loser garb?
All, I just want to say that I walked around Baltimore last night on a walking tour with @actualkatherine.bsky.social and it was a lot of fun. And apparently we were safe. In Baltimore. Because it’s safe here. And fun. Go on a walking tour.
What I’ve seen, which is not a lot, looks phony as hell. Low rent propaganda. Something is wrong with that motherfucker.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

Ask Chris Wallace if he has half the balls his dad did.
Nothing to see here.
🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.
100%. Offense matters. Defense can keep you from losing but it doesn’t make you win. We have to win. Should have the last election cycle. It’s going to take more than shown to date. Start by combatting fear.
CNN platforming Seb Gorka Martha Raddatz at ABC Interviewing Gov Wes Moore & being unhinged. Wes Moore needs to ask why she’s defending a rapist. Ask if her questions were written by Stephen Miller. Wes needs to pushback on a bought off press. I don’t get the constant defense mode. Offense only.
I dedicate this morning’s coffee to Bobby worm brain
Autocracy critically depends on picking winners and losers. There is no law, only the will of the leader.
Why is Trump honoring J6 rioter Ashli Babbitt and not Capital Police Officer Brian Sicknick — both lost their lives: Babbitt attacking The Capitol. Sicknick protecting The Capitol. Can anyone explain?
Same
Track and report them
Happy friday
“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group”
Not only did Lee commit treason, but West Pointers in the Union Army seriously debated overthrowing the Lincoln admin & to install a dictatorship. Gen. George B. McClellan, their leader, "joked" that people are "calling on me to save the nation—alluding to the Presidency, Dictatorship &c."
Listen to @kendallyb.bsky.social she's talking about how a 10 year old took a shot gun blast to the back to protect his friend! She says we now expect more from CHILDREN to protect the selfs then we expect the people we elect to office! Common sense gun laws work all over the world.

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
"Public health operates on this broader scale where it’s so embedded into our everyday lives that we just don’t pay attention to it until it starts to go wrong." Tons of wisdom from @donmoyn.bsky.social in this discussion, you'll learn a lot:

‘His inexperience shines through’: Steve Witkoff struggles to manage Russia as Trump peace envoy Witkoff’s solo approach has led to repeated miscues with Russia, leaving Trump’s pledge to quickly end the war between Russia and Ukraine adrift.

The State Department is making a self-serving attempt to hide evidence that the government retaliated against Rümeysa Öztürk for exercising her right to free speech. While there are legitimate reasons to shield personal information from public disclosure, this is not one of them.
Sen. Jon Ossoff on the CDC: "[P]utting a quack like Bobby Kennedy in charge of public health was a grave error. The Trump Administration has been engaged for months in a campaign to destroy the CDC." "The Administration's extremism and incompetence are putting lives at risk."

This post hit me like a punch to the throat.
Ummm….Jesus is woke.
Everything he, and the rest of his crew, are doing is about fear. Their drug of choice is outrage. It needs greater and greater fears to feed it. Hence it must have an enemy to demonize. They run from the four horsemen in A Vision For You.
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A MASTERMIND OF TRADE. WE ARE NOW PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR OUR BASIC NEEDS. YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE TO LOWER PRICES ON DAY ONE BUT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PROMISE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILE, SIR!!

I’ll add that Palantir-AI powered systems are likely also a threat to NATO member state citizens (NATO is planning to wide deployment).
