Picture of folk singer and people's historian Utah Phillips as an old man in a hat with a bushy white beard. He is next to one of his famous quotes that reads: 

"The Earth is not dying, it is being killed. And the people who are killing it have names and addresses."

watching kirsten gillibrand refuse to condemn andrew fucking cuomo, muttering about how "the voters should decide," it feels all too correct when donegan describes today's mainstream "liberalism" as a movement "too afraid to be unpopular."

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

The government is snatching people off the streets and shipping them to foreign prisons from which, the government claims, they can never be extracted. All with no due process. It’s as bad as it gets. And this court is again avoiding the reality of what’s happening at all costs.

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed, warned that a recent measles outbreak shows how confidence in science and public health is being “undermined.”

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

ICYMI, @propublica.org uncovered Project 2025 training videos last summer.

And here’s where they discuss how to evade FOIA & hide their agenda from the public.

The “Houthi PC small group” didn’t arise from ignorance of the law or incompetence.

They just got caught.
