👍🏽✊🏽One of the many memorable timeless 'song gems' i recall from my VERY youthfull youth😏

Unfortunately, THIS time, the 'something thats happening here' IS exactly clear...this time many of us SEE what the regime is trying to do.

Time for EVERYBODY to look at whats going down.

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."

WHO CONTROLLED FBI ON J6?
Who was the SITTING PRESIDENT THAT WATCHED HIS COUP FOR 3 HOURS?
Who took phone calls from Senators and house members on j6, now complaining that their phones were pinged?
TRUMP DID THIS.
REPUBLICANS DID THIS.
THEY COOPERATED TOGETHER.
A CONSPIRACY TO OVERTHROW..IS TREASON.

Guess who was "President" on January 6?

I'll tell you cos you don't have 2 brain cells to rub together. Hope the "advanced imagery" was a Brain MRI.

It was YOU, DJT. Pffft 🖕

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health.

Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Meanwhile the White House just illegally laid off dozens of CDC researchers and scientists during the shutdown.

Tweet by Dan Pfeiffer: “Anti-vax in the streets, pro-vax in the sheets.”
Below is Kaitlan Collins’ tweet showing a photo of a White House medical memorandum dated October 10, 2025, stating that President Donald Trump received his flu shot and COVID booster at Walter Reed.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

DONALD TRUMP ACCUSING OBAMA & ALT BIDEN OF CRIMES IS LAUGHABLE!

Jimmy Carter
Added $25 billion
to the deficit.
George H.W. Bush
Added $102 billion
to the deficit.
George W. Bush
Added $1.54 trillion
to the deficit.
Donald Trump
Added $2.1 trillion
to the deficit.
Ronald Reagan
Added $74 billion.
That seemed bad at the time; just you wait.
Bill Clinton
Reduced the deficit by $383 billion, leaving the budget in surplus when he left office
Barack Obama
Got the deficit down to $585 billion; that is, he reduced it by $825 billion.
Joe Biden
Reduced the deficit by about $942 billion.
