NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK:

Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.

Happy 1 year BS Anniversary, Marcie! So grateful we met! @mlipsitt.bsky.social
I can’t believe I’ve been on Bluesky for 1 year & 3 days! I’ve never felt more embraced in my entire life. I’ve met friends that feel like they have been in my life for decades, when it’s been one year! I know I could create another pack and I just might! youtu.be/wYGbbeUFUw8?... go.bsky.app/Nj9bLtr

I knew they blamed immigrants for everything, but I didn’t think they would blame immigrant cows for hamburger prices.

The party’s final request was that you believe anything they dispute on the internet.

Several months ago MAGA were defending the orange felon by saying tariffs won’t ever increase prices and now they’re defending him by saying he’ll decrease prices by removing tariffs. Yes, it’s an idiot death cult.

Weather is short-term; climate is long-term. A cold week doesn’t disprove a warming planet. Scientists use decades of data—temperatures, ice loss, ocean heat—to determine climate trends.

It's a revealing moment...

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Large corps like Blackstone buy large numbers of houses and then control the supply of rental units. They bid up the price of houses which forces people to rent. Then they raise the price of rent. It’s the billionaires not the immigrants. www.cnbc.com/2023/02/21/h...
Wall Street has purchased hundreds of thousands of single-family homes since the Great Recession. Here's what that means for rental prices
Corporations backed by private equity groups such as Blackstone and Pretium Partners bought tens of thousands of homes across the U.S. Sun Belt.

Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile."

Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.

What does freedom mean to you?

Have you asked your low info voter friends that?

Have you told them what it means to you? Does it mean masked men brutalizing random people—guns in your face—tear gas on your street?

Have you ever shared a video about #ICELawlessness?

Silence is complicity.

I’ve been saying this privately for a while. 2026 is going to be an anti-incumbent election.

If you’re not going to show up for the fight, don’t run. Change is coming…

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.

It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

Repost if you agree.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Musk sacked 80% of staff when he bought Twitter.

Bezos is sacking 14,000 people to replace with AI.

Microsoft are cutting 4.1% or jobs (9,100) to replace with AI.

Intel are cutting up to 25% or staff to replace with AI.
