Forever is composed of nows. Those who have suffered understand suffering and thereby extend their hand. Recovering journalist, eco-conscious outdoorsman, formerly in education, now in corporate PR. People have the power.

Let people see Jack Smith for who he is and not the characters depicted by Trump and others.

The OTHER Democratic Demand for Reopening the Government It’s about stopping Donald Trump and Russ Voughtβ€”and it can’t happen soon enough.

"Those who study the law and are experts on the balance of power warn that unless Congress reasserts its authority soon, we may end up unable to repair the guardrails that have held our government together for centuries."

Democratic governors form a public health alliance in a rebuke of Trump They're framing it as a way to share data and messages about threats, emergency preparedness and public health policy at a time when the federal government isn't doing its job in public health.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

Trump Administration Cut DHS Grants Meant to Prevent Political Violence DHS rescinded millions in prevention grants just months before high-profile political assassinations, leaving schools and local governments struggling to maintain early-warning systems.

DHS cut $15M in grants meant to curb political violence just as it surges nationwide, from school threats to assassinations, leaving communities with fewer tools to detect danger and prevent bloodshed.

At his rally in Wisconsin, South African billionaire Elon Musk says he will put an end to the Federal Reserve Bank and the US Dollar so that he, Peter Thiel and David Sacks (the South African broligarchs) can introduce a new cryptocurrency based financial system.

Domesticated animals are loyal, because they are dependent. Unlike wildlife, they don't know how to hunt and care for themselves. Even feral animals lose their loyalty.

This is what billionaires desire of us, and they're banking on AI to do it. They want to take our jobs, pride and self worth.

3. I mean, what else are we to call the so-called β€œDepartment of Government Efficiency”? It’s not a department. (Technically, it’s an advisory panel.) It has no legal authority. Even Elon Musk, who is allegedly running it, admits as much.

Yet DOGE is exercising power no one alive has seen.
