15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

“Narcissistic conspiracy theorist and billionaire launches online encylopedia because Wikipedia is not right wing (too fact based) for him and calls it “Grokipedia”” would have been a funny Simpsons episode 10 years ago. Now it’s just sad.

There is no such thing as bad publicity.

Zitat der Woche: "Wir haben lange versucht, Merz in unser Politikbild zu integrieren. Doch jetzt sind wir für eine Rückführung ins Sauerland."

Good night, dear friends. A building in Kyiv was hit by Russian missiles. This is our daily fear. Every siren, I rush my family to the shelter, praying we survive. I don’t want to die like this way. I still believe in a beautiful day ahead — but we need protection to see it.

this escalated quickly.

Send troops to San Francisco and we will sue you.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the person who is desperate to build this is not planning on leaving the White House in 2028.

Hab mal dem Bundeskanzler gemailt:)

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.

It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.

It started with intolerance and hate speech.

It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Remember.

FYI, its 1500miles from Venezuela through Cuba, to Florida. These open-hulled fishing boats can't carry enough fuel and drugs to make the trip. These fisherman are being murdered in their own territorial waters.

Trump orange / not orange

@georgetakei.bsky.social

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

Two gravy seals are standing on the lawn in front of the White House, from which a large cloud of orange smoke is protruding. One asks the other:"He didn't win it, did he?"

Meanwhile at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue...

The Verge headline: "Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would 'kill' the AI industry."

"Asking enslaved people if they actually want to work the plantations for free would kill the cotton industry."

Call me old school, but I don't think a person illegally blowing up boats and unleashing masked goons on his citizens would be a serious candidate for a peace prize.

There'll never be a perfect someday.
But there's always an imperfect now.
