Itโs nauseating to watch the cruelty. I really donโt understand why anyone would support it.
Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just todayโs news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

" @drjamesehansen.bsky.social said he'd been told by NOAA colleagues that their conditions are much worse than those in NASA.

Masked federal agents removing crates of belongings from the ICE shooter's home
It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin modelโusing the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in returnโฆ

The federal government creates its own dollars. It spends dollars into existence and taxes them out of existence. It literally doesn't need California tax dollars.

Crimes against humanity!
I am sickened to my core!
This must be stopped!
In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

A government deficit = A domestic private surplus
World reserve currency means our government must print enough dollars to keep both our domestic economy in dollar surplus as well as supply the world with dollars by running trade deficits
Everyone uses their dollars to buy a treasury bond
