I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

“They are going to deliver US citizens to a supermax prison in El Salvador” just wasn’t in my list of things that could go wrong under Trump II

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

For those who say Elon Musk’s neo-Nazi ideology is just a troll and not a deeply held belief, I give you the reality of what happens when you give him this kind of unchecked power.

This is who he is, and it’s also who he associates with. Essential we discuss it as it is instead of whitewashing.

Several reps held a press conference in front of USAID around noon. It was outstanding. They then entered the building. www.youtube.com/live/stI7ZIb...

What are you and the rest of Congress doing to fight it? That's what we want to know.

"...a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power."

The Logic of Destruction And how to resist it

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

Listened to @julieklausner.bsky.social 's fantastic interview then watched the movie. Loved it. Carol Kane can do no wrong. ❤️

My escape from the American hellscape tonight was to start the new series of Shetland. For some reason the combination of Scottish accents, stark sweeping landscapes, and murder solving is a comforting salve.
