Grifting season is open. DJT got shameless corruption off to a roaring good start. Now all like minded politicians want to get while the gettin’s good. So blatant, just jaw dropping.

A Reagan-appointed judge has quit the bench so he can speak out against assaults on the rule of law (he is a senior judge so it doesn’t create a vacancy):

The dems need to come up with an alternative plan and put their backs into it. Do they not realize we are in a war that djt and the rebs are waging against the people of this country. So far not much blood has been spilled so it’s better to fight with all we have now to lessen future bloodshed.

I know the feeling. That pic sends a shiver down my spine. Louie Bear and I are sending the most tremendous positive vibes we can muster. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Such an awesome human being. I believe she is right that we all have a role to play. β€œYour life matters, you matter”. If we could get past our scarcity mindset maybe we could take a more generous approach to fellow humans and the earth.

The rich create scarcity for the rest. Not Mother Earth.

Nice video @indivisible12.bsky.social. It’s perverse how proud republicans in the TX lege are of starving TX public school of funding. And now nutrition benefits.

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Profit-driven media giants and their billionaire owners seem to think that going along with the authoritarian Trump regime is the easy thing.

Join our campaign to send Spotify a message that power still belongs with the people. Don’t stream fascism. #CancelSpotify

The CDC Diaspora Fights Back How America’s scientific army is trying to stand up for public healthβ€”and stand up for itself.

Advocacy isn’t as strange for infectious-disease specialists as it might be for some other scientific disciplines. But this time it’s the scientistsβ€”and their scienceβ€”under assault. That’s new. www.thebulwark.com/p/cdc-diaspo...

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The brutality. The corruption. The lies.

Everything is on full display β€” and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson.

Why the No Kings Protest Moved Me The protesters’ depth of feeling was matched only by the modesty and decency of the event.

The β€œNo Kings” rallies were β€œdignified, irreverent, driven by old-fashioned love of country,” George Packer argues. β€œIf anything can rouse the stupefied mainstream in time to stop the collapse of everything good about America, it’s a spectacle like this.”

This is perfect. Dems should do this same relay style video each week to highlight Repub failure/assault on democracy. Different Dems, different issue every week. Should also probably include positive outlook for future.
