OK, folks. Time to plan for President's Day (2/24) to commemorate the time when we had one.

Meanwhile, T is cancelling Groundhog Day because it is obviously a "woke" conspiracy. A meritocracy would be honoring a rat.

Trump is a racist—a white supremacist! Every news organization should be calling him a racist and excoriate him for it. His cruel and unconscionable accusation that last night’s plane crash was caused by DEI hires and policy is not only BS – it’s racist talk. So is Bobby Kennedy‘s crap about how Black people don’t need the same vaccines as white people. So is Pete Hegseth's talk about getting rid of transgender people and women in the military. (Hegseth has a huge tattoo on his chest of iron crosses, which became a Nazi symbol in recent history.) These men are racists, and the sooner the media start recognizing that and calling them out for what they are the better. We’d all better start paying more attention.

Please discuss Trump's attitude towards climate change, Big Oil. Hint: Noam Chomsky dreaded Trump's accession to the Presidency as portending the end of the life of our species as we know it.

It's only ten days! Are we going to survive to the hundredth?

Brainworm take the wheel!

The inmates are in charge of the asylum, so thank you for not sanewashing, and for pointing out how abnormal this is, but doing so with fun and humor...so we resist our own urge to curl into fetal position.

No one in America or around the world should be surprised in the least with what is happening to America. (Imagine being afraid of what the president of the country is going to do next to HURT Americans!) Trump only serves one thing - HIMSELF. He will never "serve" America. And all the members of his gang of goons and thugs are loyal to one person - him. They do NOT give a Damn about "serving" America - they ONLY serve him and whatever they can get away with. They show by their words and deeds that their allegiance is to Trump and NOT America. And that is NOT democracy..... They will NEVER work on behalf of the American people. And so, the American people are going to have to rise up and take back America from these self serving gang of goons and thugs.

Hypocritical anti-vaxxer Marianne Williamson running for DNC chair after proclaiming her love for Israel and smearing on Facebook “some in the far left in the Democrat Party” as antisemitic. Course in Miracles my ass . . .

Electricity generated by nuclear power plants includes a 50% (?) charge to create reserves for the trillion dollar cleanup that will finally have to be made. The devils are going to (or have already) pocket the reserves and leave the states holding the baby.

Given Substack's views on "freeze peach" (https://read.substack.com/p/the-fight-for-free-speech-in-2025), please please *please* consider switching to Ghost (https://ghost.org) as Qasim Rashid recently did (https://mastodon.online/@QasimRashid@mastodon.social/113932710811116829). He even grew subscribers when he did so (https://mastodon.online/@QasimRashid@mastodon.social/113931619070582017). This goes for Zeteo as well as The Left Hook :)
