A thought I never expected to have: House of Windsor currently beating the US government on transparency and accountability.

The Epstein Files are BAD bad.

The Walton family surely does

Kansas City, Missouri boasts an incredible World War I museum. I was just there last week while traveling. It is very modern informative, accurate, and deeply moving. Please go if you can.

Adults who lack the moral clarity to say what we’re seeing have no excuse

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

We’re conditioned to believe our smallest contributions wont make a difference. That our $5 wont help. That a couple cans of veggies wont help. That one coat & a pair of shoes aren’t worth donating. It all counts. This is a reminder to myself as well.

I guess they’re giving America back to the natives?

The Hunger Games Begin 40 million Americans are about to lose food stamps

Remember when Paul Krugman’s columns were soooo wonky.

“It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.” - Paul Krugman

Charlie's Story: Medicaid Builds A Future for Medically Complex Children Charlie's Medicaid and access to home and community based services gives him the best quality of life, and future.

People being blunt that Trump seemed confused and said his dementia test was a hard IQ test.

We are in a timeline in which People Magazine is publishing legit hard-hitting news headlines while CBS and CNN publicly humiliate themselves.

I don’t like this timeline. But I’m loving People Magazine right now.

And what the fuck happened to eradicating WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE, DOGE??? Seems to me that this administration doubled down on their own misuse of taxpayer money! 🎈🤡🎪

I would like to mention again that menstrual products are covered by FSA funds. fsastore.com - so if you find yourself with money left on the table by the end of the year, consider using those funds and donate the products [pantries, homeless shelters etc...]

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

On Nov. 30, 1901, Theodore Roosevelt wrote, "I wanted to go a little ahead of my party in the right direction, but not so far ahead that they won't follow me."

Almost by definition this describes those realistic enough to get elected yet who move the U.S. forward. No one in the GOP is like this.

Graphic with the book's cover art as the background and a snippet of the Kirkus review: "Ashing-Giwa has created a world run by imperial technocrats who bleed their planet dry of its resources at the expense of their poorer neighbors’ lives. Although the technology sometimes feels indistinguishable from magic, the novel is deeply rooted in science fiction, and it never strays too far from those roots.... A bold and refreshing new SF adventure from one of this generation’s writers to watch.”

Here's the second (and very generous) review of THE KING MUST DIE, which hits shelves in less than two weeks!

Laurels and Darts: The student-journalist stars of Indiana; inside Idaho's women's prisons; protests below the fold; a whiz kid loses his cool. The student stars of Indiana. Plus, Idaho women’s prisons, protests below the fold, and a whiz kid loses his cool.

If you wonder when journalists will start showing more solidarity with each other, head to Indiana -- where the college students are showing us how it's done.

Post on Truth social from @RealDonaldTrump

Moral of the story: If you don’t want Trump to send the military into the streets of your city, have a tech bro billionaire call him.

Truth Social post - "Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, & others have called saying that the future of SF is great."

If & when federal courts (& SCOTUS) insist on deferring to the President's determination that deploying the Natl Guard is necessary for the enforcement of federal law, safety, etc. - please remember Trump says he's making such decisions based in part on what the CEOs of Salesforce & NVIDIA tell him.
