No worries!

Trump MAGA Republicans have a Project 2025 Solution!

Your children can work the fields (& mines & factories & logging & meat packing… etc). Iowa, Missouri, & a dozen other Red states are leading the way.

Children are already dying in WI, MO, & MS.

Such progress!

TXRuralVoices Republicans will spend 450 million on a circus tent in the middle of an alligator swamp. A Billion on a Qatar Jet refit. 200 million on a ballroom. 3-5 million for 3 day golf weekends. Then turn around and tell you there isn't any money for kids cancer research, veterans care, school lunches or Medicaid for the elderly . --Gregory W. Nelson

Don't forget trillions in tax cuts for people who already have too much money.

'Here it comes': Outrage as leaked Trump admin memo suggests 'the worst we've been waiting for' New reporting based on a leaked briefing memo from a recent meeting between high-level officials at the Department of Homeland Security and Defense Department sparked fresh warnings on Saturday about ...

I once refused to go to a destination wedding, because the destination was a place where armed soldiers stood on the streets, policing the people.
I seriously never thought I’d end up living in the same kind of country. But, here we are.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Before Reagan, trickle-down economics was called the Horse & Sparrow Theory - if you feed the horse enough oats, the sparrows can then eat the stale oats with a side of manure. Bon appétit!

The White House landscape now matches our national political one.

There is absolutely nothing that right-wingers have to offer to discourse, no idea worth considering, specifically because their ideas have already been considered and rightfully rejected on the merits long ago; treating their perspective as if it is a necessary to open dialogue is baldly ridiculous

It reminds me of a big piece of chocolate cheesecake. Which is a good thing.

Orwell's "1984" is in full effect folks.

THAT WHITE HOUSE IS A REAL DUMP. ~ DONALD J. TRUMP -2017 In the evening, when Michelle and the girls have gone to bed, I sometimes walk down the hall to a room Abraham Lincoln used as his office. It contains an original copy of the Gettysburg address, written in Lincoln's own hand. I linger on these few words that have helped define our American experiment: A new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. ~ President Barack Obama -2013

I miss the days when we had a POTUS who was respected and admired.

I miss the days when other countries actually looked up to us.

I miss the days when I felt safe under our president’s watch.

I miss the days when I wasn’t enraged all the time.

I miss the days when our POTUS wasn’t a crook.

The price of 1 lb of ground beef is now higher than the federal minimum hourly wage…

I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now.

I don't mean fear of Trump or political persecution, although those can overlap.

Periodic reminder that the cloud is someone else’s computer, and in the case of Google, an evil shit-for-brains computer.

know we're not supposed to share things like this on Linkedn, but I'm going to share it anyway because it was horrifying and it's happening everywhere and it needs to be shared. This morning when I was driving home after dropping my son off at summer camp, I saw a swarm of ICE agents as I drove past our local Home Depot. It looked like they were tying up some workers, and my first reaction was to pull into the parking lot. I couldn't think. I couldn't process. I couldn't reason. I just jumped out of my car and started filming. I then watched as these two people were disappeared into unmarked vehicles, with one of the ICE vehicles trying to back into me when I wasn't looking. Another woman tried to help. An ICE agent tried to slap her phone down when she tried to get a phone number to call this man's family. They wouldn't let her. Instead, they whisked him away and accused her of obstructing justice. I'm currently lying awake in bed at 11pm thinking about how these men won't return home to their families tonight, and their families will probably never know what happened to them. I've been through some traumatic events in my life, but I've never witnessed anything like this. This was down the street from my son's elementary school in our little peaceful coastal town. You may not see it on the news, but you'll hear it from me because it needs to be shared.

From the LinkedIn of the woman—a white lawyer from Carlsbad, CA—who filmed this encounter and shared the video:

Somewhere, a raccoon is watching.

Black and white image of Emmett Till in hat, white shirt, and tie.

Emmett Till would be 84 today.

Not 114. Not 104.

84.

He would be my uncle. Not great-great or great uncle. One of my parents' siblings. This is why we remember.

I leave you with this tonight. Goodnight, bluesky #DS9

So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?

Each day, they could just discuss the details of one (1) former Republican who was arrested for sex trafficking, pedophilia, or some related scandal.

If they're going to shut down Congress for this, fill the silence with these news stories. Make it unavoidable.

Because i care beyond just myself......💙💙💙

Why Trump flew to campaign events (including Aspen) on Jeffrey Epstein's plane last weekend Campaign says it had no knowledge jet was formerly owned by Epstein

Is this a good time to remind everyone that Trump flew to 2024 campaign events on Jeffrey Epstein's plane?

Apparently, his own jet had mechanical issues.

How did he gain access to this particular plane?
