Retired and more than a little concerned about the direction the US is heading in 2025.
Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

It's a rub-your-eyes-in-disbelief moment.
Good work everyone

USAO DC declined to prosecute a clear crime to help Trump
This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC.
There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA.
Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/
The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world.
It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it.
A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.
This is a very good point: mass movements grow slowly, small actions are practice for big actions and build community. Diffuse actions are also a great way to safely demonstrate civil disobedience.

Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.
