This is how propaganda works: the government makes a wildly false claim; the regime loyal media repeats it without bothering to find out it is untrue. But it is untrue: #block-679977268f086189f840e07b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/us-news/live/2…

Hamas wants free condoms to make bombs and America’s been supplying them. We were just about to spend $50 MILLION on condoms on Gaza— enough to give every guy there 1,000 condoms. That’s a lot of safe sex and even more bombs…

Guess what? The drones ‘story’ - which Trump helped push - was all BS, according to… the new Trump administration. abcnews.go.com/Politics/leavi…

New White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did her first press briefing today and told a number of demonstrable lies (about condoms for Gaza, the criminal records of undocumented migrants, and more). This is how the New York Times covered it.

Elon Musk, encouraged by his mother and an army of his cultish fans, is threatening tonight to sue a Washington Post journalist for pointing out on live TV that neo-Nazis welcomed his salute on Inauguration Day. Can we finally put the ‘he’s a free speech absolutist!’ BS to bed?

7/ The point of all this is to destroy U.S. power in the world. That primarily helps China, who is INCREASING its aid programs as we disappear. China - the place where all of Trump's billionaires make their products and want deals to open markets. Think there's a connection?

6/ Aid programs were told to apply for "waivers". But it's a joke - there is no waiver program, no one to review the waivers. It's just cruel busy work to further overwhelm and punish aid agencies. Because cruelty is also the point.

4/ The terrorists will benefit. In Lebanon, our programs help fight against Hezbollah influence. In Syria, our money keeps the ISIS prison camps operating. If there is no winter fuel in those camps, there could be a riot that leads to a break out from the camp.

3/ Tons of kids are just going to die needlessly. Famine has struck in Sudan, but because of the freeze, our most important life savings programs shut down. Within weeks or maybe days, malnourished babies who rely on our food and care will die. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

2/ First, this isn't a funding pause. It's a STOP WORK ORDER to almost all aid. Unprecedented. So today we just stopped feeding babies and housing refugees and mediating conflicts all around the world. Aid orgs are laying off staff and many programs will not restart.

Look, Trump is trying to oversaturate us with nonstop chaos so we can’t react meaningfully to any one thing. But Friday's global stop work order on almost all U.S. aid is dumb and murderous. You need to know about it. 1/ A short🧵on this evil. cnn.com/2025/01/24/pol…

What a beautiful sign off by Jim Acosta on CNN: “It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant…don't give in to the lies.” Thank you Jim Acosta. You deserve better. 💙

Rep. Rich McCormick says he’d END free lunch for poor school kids and childhood cancer research: “Philanthropy is where you get…your money for childhood cancer research. When you talk about school lunches…I worked my way through high school. Scum.

Caroline Kennedy, cousin to the current pick for HHS secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, has penned a scathing letter warning senators about her cousin, calling him a "predator." She also says her father and uncle would be "disgusted" by RFK, Jr..

Trump is holding all the nation’s hospitals and vital services hostage to seize power from Congress and hand it over to billionaires. We must state the truth: this is a constitutional crisis. It’s a massive, illegal power grab that the House and Senate have a sworn duty to stop.

I agree with Tim Snyder: it is time for Democrats to form a Shadow Cabinet just like they do in the United Kingdom

@ANNELAMOTT A Republican Congressman called for her to be deported, for politely urging the president to follow the teachings of Jesus. We’re three days into Trump’s term and MAGA wants to chuck the first amendment. This is going to be a disaster of truly epic proportions.

END/CIA is also apparently banning lanyards that have to do with affinity groups. Women's Council had to take down website & cancel all events, incl women's history month. They are also compiling lists of members within affinity groups. Because that's not reminiscent of 1930s.
