Every time I see a scientist or doctor is running for office, I get a little more hopeful this nightmare will end soon.

Retired teacher here (38 years). I loved my career, but teaching is dangerous and scary and life-threatening now.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Show me Trump’s cabinet standing at attention while kissing his ass. He can have one or the other but not both.

I'm so tired of people saying Democrats shouldn't move too far left when the GOP has moved so comfortably to fascism.

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes “Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

Heading to Glacier? If so, don’t forget you need a ticket for Going to the Sun Road. Are you familiar w/ Rails to Trails? The Hiawatha trail straddles Idaho and Montana and is super fun.

I’ve written a few leaf poems. This one is from last month in Grand Teton National Park.

In other words she’s what Trump calls a loser.

In other words, Trump is acting like and wants to be a king, a dictator, an authoritarian strongman.

ONG! These data centers should never be built in the desert. Arizona is in a water crisis. And data centers are noisy and destroy water supplies. 😩

The only thing he does is rage. He’s never worked a day in his life, so of course he isn’t tired.

I have one slight disagreement with this post.

There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy.

And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.
