Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.

Hundreds of staff at two of California’s most popular national parks have voted to unionize, a move that comes during a troubled summer for the National Park Service.
Amid Trump’s onslaught, nearly all voted yes.
NEW RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate in Iowa.
This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%.
This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate.
Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD
They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

1. Defend the constitution
2. Speak truth to power
3. Suffer no fools
Speaking about contemporary subjects and describing his opponents in harsh terms, President Donald Trump used more than two dozen words Tuesday night that had never been spoken in a State of the Union or similar address to Congress.

Trump: To the Great Farmers of the United States: Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States. Tariffs will go on external product on April 2nd. Have fun! https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114099930171583950
Exporting “excess” products to the rest of the world and designing systems that preferenced U.S. exports created the postwar prosperity Americans have seen over the past 75 years. It’s going to be so cool when U.S. standard of living falls off a cliff and MAGA has no idea why.

"He's going to run the government like his business!"
Yes, exactly.
Apparently lots of people called Gabe Evans (CO 08) to ask him to not cut Medicaid when 220,000 constituents receive assistance, especially since he only won by 2,449 votes. When I mention the slim win the staffer was exasperated and said, I know. No worries I'll keep calling daily to remind them.
27.02.2025 14:52 — 👍 5 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Thank you t fighting! For peeps in CO 08, Gabe Evans(R) won his election by 2,449 votes. Our district has over 220,000 Medicaid recipients. If you live here please call him every day and remind him of these numbers and ask that he not vote to hurt the most vulnerable among us.

During the US governors ball, the US Army Choir surrounded the MAGA leadership and sang: "Do
You Hear The People Sing"
The oligarchs didn’t even realize they were being protested. #3E #USprotest #EndOligarchy
I called my rep and then asked 15 others to do the same. First day I've gone straight to voicemail for Gabe Evans. Before you call, do a quick internet search for the number of Medicaid recipients. In CO 08, it is 220,000. Rep Evans won by only 2,449 votes. Hmmm.
