You recently announced that the turnout for the protests was 5 to 6 million across the country. But I was following folks Saturday and Sunday who were suggesting numbers were vastly higher.

Trump wants to establish martial law so bad he can taste it. June 14 should be interesting.

TACO: The Frame That Exposes Trump's Fear of Looking Weak Mockery beats bluster. TACO—Trump Always Chickens Out—shows how strategic framing reveals weakness behind Trump’s threats and legal losses.

Trump’s first cabinet shake-up of term two is chaos by design. Waltz leaks ops, gets promoted. Rubio grabs power. And now Stephen Miller—the architect of cruelty—is poised to run U.S. national security. This isn’t a pivot. It’s a purge. Full Article: www.facebook.com/share/p/1DXW...

You promised a “war room” if we could just send $15… where are the details? What are the objectives? More tours, speeches? Or are you finally building a strategic think tank to RESOLVE the immediate threats at hand? THAT I WOULD FUND!!

YouTube video by The Daily Show With Trump's approval ratings at 39%, Schumer is bringing out the big guns: a strongly worded letter

@democrats.org
THIS is why David Hogg is pushing to primary the folks who have stayed past their expiration date. McConnell was vastly more successful as maj leader - he annoyed hell out of me, but he ignored the norms & plowed through. Schumer? All hat no cattle.

@democrats.org Threatening David Hogg for spending money to primary ineffective federal representatives just proves you haven't learned a damn thing from 2016. It's not even DNC funds his group uses. No donations for you!

Stealth Authoritarianism! It's a constant struggle to find positive & hopeful posts. Amy Siskind, Jay Kuo, Rebecca Solnit, Heather Cox Richardson regularly remind us of it along with the scary stuff. This vid reveals the frog in the stock pot - a bit of hope is at the end.

This ignores numerous legitimate studies on the causes of autism that already exist. Though precise causes remain complex & involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors, not one study concluded that vaccines were to blame. Easier to vilify vaccines & those on the spectrum w/ a "study".

Karan Cross on Substack One of my favorite things about Pete is his willingness to walk into the lion's den and engage (in a calm, logical demeanor). Chastising him for this is counter productive, for the reasons BTC outline...

YouTube video by The Ezra Klein Show Why Trump Could Lose His Trade War With China | The Ezra Klein Show

Trump lost the game of chicken with China and begged them to call and negotiate over Trump's self-imposed trade war. Trump thinks he's smarter than China .. one of many things he's gotten wrong. Tom Friedman and Ezra Klein discuss the reality of China.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Well this is seriously frightening. We had an inkling that Musk/DOGE were sticking their noses into places they didn't belong, but it's actually worse than that.

Not only is he willing to play, my understanding is he personally went to T and begged him to interfere on his behalf. I'm hoping Hochul pulls the plug on him.
