Troll block:

Somehow this troll appeared in my bluesky discovery feed. Looked at a few of their posts & most are trolly.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

UPDATE: Betty is overwhelmed with gratitude for those who were kind enough to donate to her GFM, and she asked me to pass along her sincere thanks. I’d love for her to reach the goal, but if you can’t contribute, a retweet helps too.
I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

Goes thru all the reasons why the inhumane treatment of immigrants in ICE custody is illegal. Worth listening to to keep fired up about what 47 & MAGA Republicans have done to our fellow coworkers and neighbors.

47 said Congress can release the Epstein files do the U.S. House went 427 to 1 to release the Epstein pedophiles files.

Would be good to see more than 60 U.S. Senators voting for that.

Only thing to watch is whether Bondi, Blanche, Kash & Bongos hand over doctored files.

Gotta cook Pedocons.

Post below this one in my feed is about mRNA that has a good comments in it. The future of science looks much brighter with nRNA research.

Just need to kick anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists to the curb with their stupid shit.

I'll be the first to admit knowing very little about medical sciences, but god damn from the outside looking in, mRNA tech seems like actual magic

Crazy to be seeing the northern lights (aurora borealis) this far South in Denver Colorado. Here is a 10 second exposure from an iPhone.

Discouraging. How do the democrats expect the people to stand behind them?

That’s a question that has to be answered.

Senate Dems. It’s time to cut Schumer off at the knees.

You have to have voters before courting donors.

Someone posting as Alt CDC?! Sounds like as MAGA conspiracy theorist. Toxic gaslighting takes several forms that all require stupidity to follow.
If white people stopped following these lazy, uninformed, rage bait accounts maybe they’d stop parroting stupid nonsense.
Honestly, I haven't seen much in the news about (most) reps doing *anything*

From what people are saying here, sounds like this poster is reading the wrong things. (& if I'm not seeing it in the news, I'm guessing a lot of others also aren't.)

So please share more examples & am happy to amplify.

It’s starting to feel like all MAGA Republicans are deadmen walking if this keeps up. Seeing Nebraskans booing every position Mike Flood has is amazing.

This will cause noticeable fallout once the bitter cold starts biting.
Millions of low-income families are at risk of losing heating aid this winter. The shutdown has frozen funding for LIHEAP, which helps nearly 6 million households pay their energy bills — on top of suspended SNAP benefits and rising fuel costs.

Shutdown threatens to delay home heating aid for millions of low-income families
With temperatures beginning to drop in areas across the U.S., some states are warning that funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program is being delayed because of the federal government ...

Looks like that is the final word from MAGA Republicans.

A very large minority of red state racists are being starved by the very MAGA Republicans they voted for.

Karma is an absolute bitch for MAGA voters 😈
Fuck anyone that made this possible.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Murder charges? ICE facilities were they ever humane? Under Taco, the ICE facilities sound like concentration camps. They aren’t properly feeding people, they’re not allowed to bathe n sleeping on the floor or on soiled blankets. Inmates in prisons have it better than ICE detainees! #iceout

Hopefully some of the blue states trying to do their own CDC type of oversight might be prepared.

To all the MAGA red states you’re pretty much on your own with NIH Secretary RFK’s antics.

Stephen Miller is no longer afraid to step out looking presidential. The MAGA Sycophancy Congress are afraid of even an unelected or unappointed racist running the White House.
Q: Would the administration consider putting troops on the ground in any capacity in Venezuela?

STEPHEN MILLER: These are terrorists and they're gonna be killed
