Hey y’all, you remember about a year back when I said #DOGE was doing some sketchy shit at the #SSA, and that records were being manipulated, and that there was some weird network traffic suggesting that the newly installed #starlink was sending data where it shouldn’t?

Yeah.

We still don’t know who the 1000 people directly targeted were, but as my cleanly wiped SSA record can show, there has been collateral damage, as I’m nowhere near important. But I’ve been working since 1980, and my earning record is blank.

Terabytes of data was exfiltrated, we don’t know to whom, we don’t know how much the DOGE operatives were paid, we don’t know who now has the data, but the #DOJ response is that these guys might have their hand slapped, but probably not even that.

The #US has finalized its withdrawal from the #WorldHealthOrganization, one year after #Trump announced the US was ending its 78-yr-old commitment….

But it’s hardly a clean break.

The US owes >$130 million to the global #health agency, according to #WHO. And Trump admin officials acknowledge that they haven’t finished working out some issues, such as lost access to data from other countries that could give America an early warning of a new #pandemic.

Dear European leaders at Davos,

If you want this asshole to shut up, stand up and walk out

If they don’t invoke the 25 amendment after this speech in Davos, the GOP is complicit in allowing a hopelessly demented idiot to destroy that last vestiges of respect the world would have for the US. He’s ranting, babbling lies and nonsense. He doesn’t know the difference between Iceland and Greenland. Someone needs to grab him by the elbow and usher him off stage. It’s humiliating.

(AP) At least four times in his remarks at Davos so far, Trump has referred to Greenland as “Iceland.”

“They’re not there for us on Iceland that I can tell you,” Trump said of NATO partners. “I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland, so Iceland’s already cost us a lot of money.”

He also did that a day earlier during a marathon news conference at the White House.

(Politico) Well, it happened. A great role model for all those oppressed by Trump. He has publicly backed down at DAVOS from using force to seize Greenland. The EU, Canada, and others MADE THIS HAPPEN. NOW, GOP, CAN YOU LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS? www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Trump rules out using force to...

When Trump dies we get Vance. Thiel’s pet. They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier white supremacist techno-Christofascism. We must prept for this now & organize accordingly. Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. Strikes. Every angle.

Saying he doubts that NATO would come to our defense. The only time article 5 was ever implemented was on 9/11, so yes, NATO completely came to our defense and many countries lost many lives since 9/11, to assist the US.

My cousin is being removed from life-support tomorrow after suffering cardiac arrest last week and now being declared brain dead. Not even 40 years old. Leaving behind a wife and young son. God's love, my ass.

The number of confirmed #measles cases in South Carolina has hit an astonishing 558 in an outbreak that started in October. For context: that is more cases in 4 months than the entire US racked up most years in the past 30+ years. reuters.com/business/healthcar

the "I Have a Dream" speech is important

"Letter from a Birmingham Jail" is a must read

@TreeVor agreed. We will have signed our own death warrant. And frankly, it might be for the best. If the EU calls in its debts, the very very best financial decision blue States can do to protect the massive corporations headquartered here is to pursue financial arrangements directly with EU/NATO member states. When that starts happening, America is officially done.

“How dare they protest in that ICE field office director’s church!” Meanwhile they had nothing to say when ICE raided churches and shot pastors in the face with pepper balls and chemicals👇🏽 🤔

Another embarrassing appearance from the always humiliating “Pinocchiogles” Rep Andy Ogles, the biggest liar in Congress who lied and deceived to get elected, who parrots the lie that 70% have violent records — the numbers show 70% have no record at all. (From @atrupar.com@bsky.brid.gy )

“'One ICE agent said if we let you see your clients, we would have to let all the attorneys see their clients, and imagine the chaos,' said another attorney who asked not to be named. 'And I said to that person, yeah, you do have to let all the attorneys see their clients. You do have to accommodate that. That’s the Constitution. You chose to put them here. I didn't bring this guy here, you did.'"

They're not sending their best.
