This is how liars lie (and how I call it out).

It turned out that things like morals, empathy and dignity are like trees---they take decades to grow. They can also be clear cut just like trees: when ppl are doused daily with fear, bigotry and hate. *Please credit work of artists whose work you post!

Screenshot of my DOGE letter βDr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFRΒ§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,
Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too βDEIβ for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

"Who gives a shit about foreign countries targeting American soldiers in the reckless war we started?" is just a hell of a take for a White House press secretary

Now comes the ritual humiliation of NFL players. Just a few people speaking out in defense of their own dignity would make a big difference here.

I love Aaron dearly.
I think listening to the amount of bullshit he listens to on a daily basis is definitely not healthy, but I remain grateful he does it so we dont have to.
If only the @electdemocrats.bsky.social had the social media sense to use it.
Nice of Trump to provide more material for Democratic campaign ads in Hispanic districts

Hoping the AP and all media are as LOUD about such things now, as they were during four years of Biden.
Yep, see all the US Reps from Iowa who gleefully allow their kids to be around the Pedo in Chief.
McArmageddon.
Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.
White House official says the quiet part out loud.
It was never about protecting innocent protesters in Iran.
Trump is putting our servicemen and women in harm's way for oil.
Hint: Itβs not about terrorists either.
If you knew this on day one, as I did, you were right.
The nuclear block is good, actually. Itβs why Bluesky is my favorite modern social site, much more so than even Twitter at its best.
Hard to tell in these upside down times.
College sports more important than questions about the war he started.
Gas jumped 40 cents a gallon in our area over the past three days.
Are we great yet #MAGAMorons?
#ashleyhinson running for a US Senate seat claiming she is prolife votes FOR this shite.
Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
βWe never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,β Stiller wrote.
And Lil Kev probably thinks he's the brightest guy in his basement.
Entertainment is winning. Postman was right.
Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

Senate Democrats (except Fetterman) overwhelmingly supported reining Trump in with war powers resolutions because it is painfully clear the White House lacks a clear strategy on Iran.
Rand Paul was the only Republican who voted with Dems.
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Then refused to save the drowning
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the βMiddle East."
