Four Rivers Indivisible in Paducah KY got under Rep James Comer's skin with Do Your Job Jamie: Chicken Comer Town Hall 3/20. Comer stated he's not holding "therapy sessions for left-wing activists with Trump Derangement Syndrome". A town hall is a therapy session? Is he adding to the DSM?

I've been down in the dumps for a host of reasons. It's hard not to let the reality of a government being dismantled affect your day.
Fun fact:
Pampers donated to the red. Huggies donated to the blue.

Many thinkers in the 1440s were sure the printing press was going to ruin education. Are we in the same boat with AI, or is something different? Explore this and much more in this week's Inner Cosmos podcast: "What's the future of education in an AI world?"

Most incisive, political cartoon based on Trump's addressed to Congress:

This political cartoon depicts Uncle Sam sitting on a medical examination table, wearing his traditional red and white striped pants and a blue hat with a white star. His back is grotesquely deformed, covered in a large, inflamed, cancerous-looking growth. Within this growth, the face of Donald Trump is visible, suggesting that he is being portrayed as a cancer afflicting the United States. A female doctor, dressed in a white coat, stands in front of Uncle Sam and says, “SORRY—CANCER RESEARCH IS ON HOLD.” The cartoon, signed by Bramhall and published by the New York Daily News in 2025, is a political critique, likely commenting on Trump’s influence on the country, comparing it to a disease that is not being treated or addressed.

This political cartoon is from 1939

Thank you :)

Elon Musk is pushing to end phone services at Social Security, which 73 million retired and disabled Americans rely on to apply for and access their earned government benefits.

Trump firings may weaken life-saving avalanche forecasts in Colorado and the West Forecasting work is crucial for skiers and climbers who flirt with danger when they travel through mountain gullies that are prone to slide

Officials who warn the public about avalanches are sounding a different type of alarm.

They say they’re worried that the Trump administration firing hundreds of meteorologists and other environmental scientists could hinder life-saving forecasts that skiers and mountain drivers rely on.

Well said 👏

Attempting to be apolitical in dangerous times subjects the marginalized and disenfranchised people around you to unsafe people.

If you don’t allow the discourse of politics in your communities the fascists get to hide their red flags.

... directs its *largest* cut of $880 billion to the Energy & Commerce committee which oversees Medicaid & Medicare. Where are those $880 billion cuts gonna come from? From Medicaid of course. Nothing else the committee controls will get them to $880 billion without cuts to Medicaid... (4/x)

We’ve been hearing from many you that when you call your reps about the budget resolution, Republican staffers are now pushing back to claim the budget does NOT cut Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, etc. Clearly a memo went out to all Republicans to have their staff gaslight their constituents... (1/x)

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

Make Colorado State University Into a Sanctuary Campus As the Trump administration begins to ramp up action against undocumented communities across the United States, students and community members of Colorado State University are left to wonder how this ...

The DSA of Fort Collins has put together a petition to make CSU a sanctuary campus for migrant students. If you live in Colorado, please take a minute to read, sign and pass along to others. #FoCo #FortCollins #NoCo

A checklist of what to do to prepare for immigration raids

The same checklist in Spanish

Sweeping ICE raids start in major sanctuary cities Tuesday morning. Don’t let them distract you with TikTok and threats to annex Greenland. Stay focused, protect your people, help where you can.

Remember, there's a lot to celebrate today! It's Martin Luther King Day, as well as Civil Rights Day! ✊ It's National Penguin Day!! 🐧 It's Elementary School Teacher Day! 🧠 It's National DJ Day! 🎛️ And...it's National Cheese Lover's Day, for those of you who partake!! 🧀

These are very good suggestions, but a few key ones are missing: attend library board mtgs and speak in favor (many are on zoom), donate $, and vote for measures and bonds to increase funding. Patrons have real power. Don't let a handful of bigots destroy your library.

Im so sorry. All the hugs.

welcome :)

Can you make this into a whole retirement community?
