Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Dick Van Dyke dances barefoot, sings and ruminates on life in new Coldplay music video | CNN The phrase β€œthey don’t make β€˜em like they used to” has never proven more accurate than with respect to legendary nonagenarian actor and comedian Dick Van Dyke.

Dick Van Dyke, who turns 99 next week, appears in a brand new longform music video for the Coldplay song β€œAll My Love,” dancing barefoot, singing alongside Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and performing some physical comedy.

It's disheartening that in an age where knowledge has never been more accessible - the United States is about to be governed by an administration so primitive and ignorant as to believe that tariffs are good and that vaccines are bad.

"DPH Guidance on M. pneumonia

Episode 211: Tulsi Gabbard P1 (The Cult) feat Mike Prysner A political chameleon now considered a rising star of the GOP was raised within a cult run by a surfer who broke away from the Hare Krishnas to focus more on himself as the conduit of God on earth β€”Β a

Tulsi Gabbard will be Director of National Intelligence.

She's in a cult and which is deeply fascist, homophobic, and Islamophobic.
This has gone unreported by most media.

QAnon Anonymous Podcast discusses her well.

Firewalls For Freedom

Firewalls For Freedom

Without the assistance of state and local governments, an authoritarian presidential administration will find it much harder to act on its worst threats. Massachusetts leaders must build a firewall between state and local resources and federal or out-of-state law enforcement agencies that attempt to violate our constitutional freedoms. When federal or out-of-state agencies request Massachusetts government cooperation to undermine the civil rights of our people, state agencies can and should decline to provide it.

Massachusetts has already taken important steps to secure access to abortion, gender-affirming care, and other reproductive health care: In 2020, lawmakers passed the ROE Act to codify the right to abortion in state law, strike archaic provisions that criminalized abortion, and expand access to care. After Roe was overturned in 2022, policymakers passed a best-in-the-nation shield law for abortion and gender-affirming care. Massachusetts leaders should continue to push reproductive freedom forward for patients and providers in our state.

In a second Trump administration, state and local leaders who value civil liberties must do everything in their power to ensure that our municipal and state governments do not assist the Trump administration in improper persecution of Massachusetts people. States cannot control the sprawling federal surveillance and law enforcement infrastructure, but state and local leaders can and must limit the reach of the federal government within their jurisdictions.

The ACLU has never been more prepared for the fight ahead. We have the playbook to fight back β€” and we, the people, are ready to defend our fundamental freedoms.
