Join us as we launch our new series "Facing the Future: Building Resilience in NYC." Our first meeting focuses on the increase in torrential rains flooding NYC. tinyurl.com/mwz58tyr

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The Senate started debating the budget last night because they knew it would minimize media coverage and they do not want the American people to see how blatant the handover of our government to the billionaire class is. Dems proposed amendments to protect things like Medicaid but these failed.

Is Canada attempting to boycott American made products now? Certainly wouldn’t blame them.

Too harsh?

I miss the little walled community on META but also giving this a whirl. Interactions are a little more difficult, more similar to X and Insta.

Hitler turned Germany into a narc state.

💌 Want to join me in writing a love letter to Rev Budde, the bishop of Washington DC, who lectured tRump to have compassion for LGBTQ and migrant folks at the inaugural service? I figure she’s getting tons of hate mail right now and could use a thank you. Mebudde@edow.org

I like this Japanese concept of Ikigai!

Trump Targeted Scientists in His First Term. This Time, They’re Prepared. Agencies and unions have put in place new guardrails designed to limit political interference in government research.

Trying to maintain scientific integrity so the words “climate change” won’t be erased and research can continue.

I’m sorry, but nobody cares who was responsible for the hostage release, stop making that part news. We are just SO relieved and happy that it happened and progress towards a more permanent cease fire may be in sight! Check your egos at the door fellas. Especially the orange one.

Ok, but he’s not banning them now is he? Now that he’s in charge I think he could!

My morning laugh:
“Is the Trump administration running a DEI program for incompetent, unqualified, and/or ethically compromised Whites?” ~Norm Eisen, The Contrarian

Tammy Baldwin is gathering signatures to stop tRump from privatizing the U.S. Post which will affect thousands of postal workers jobs. act.tammybaldwin.com/signup/2501_...
Germany and the UK have gone private. And I just learned the U.S. Post has been losing money for 15 years. What do you think?

Who knew a Venn diagram could be so fun?

Sometimes I like to post about what I see when traveling. This little hut in Germany called a “tauschhaus” or “exchange house” is found in many neighborhoods and is similar to the lending libraries that have been popping up in American towns. You bring stuff and you take stuff, alles free.
