Was the economy really good in Trump's first term? If you watched/listened to the mainstream media, you would think it was a great economy & Trump media surrogates went out of their way to promote even mediocre economic news as amazing & were rarely challenged by the media.

Facts say otherwise 1/9

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second.

And it's only happening now because both Trump and Netanyahu need political wins, Trump to distract from the shutdown and Epstein and Netanyahu to prevent international sanctions against Israel. This could have happened at any time before.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

If measles hits Alaska we will most likely see it first in the home school community before public schools.

It won't take long to get into our public schools because the Interior (including Fairbanks) has a very low rate of vaccination for Kindergartners (ages 5-6) of 57%.

This is a tinderbox.

I almost feel like he's making up for the deep guilt over his part in The Social Network. A film that correctly revealed that the Big Tech successes of the time were the products of wealthy, obnoxious, talentless freaks with personality disorders suing each other, not genius engineers

Not just that, Chris Wray - Trump's hand-picked FBI Director - was the one in charge of the FBI.
