Lessons from a Red Scare The American people are capable of turning the tide against repression.

"The American people are capable of turning the tide against repression even if that feels hopeless...the history of the first red scare teaches us that a better future is possible and worth fighting for."

#TCMParty is always fun.

Fox News reporter to Mike Johnson: "How can you say 'they take no pleasure in this,' and then the next minute say, 'Oh, they're just having fun and trolling?'"

Basically the same at the Forest Service.

Also: latest bi-weekly pay period for USDA Forest Service ended today; normally employees sign time sheets and get paid halfway through the next pay period.

If gov’t doesn’t re-open, USFS workers still on the job for key roles just worked 2 weeks w/ pay 😵‍💫

RIP Patricia. You brightened up my life. #KeepingUpAppearances

He was an officer in the Imperial Navy of Austria-Hungary before 1918. Look at a map - they had access to the whole of the Adriatic. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

I love them dancing together.

I think I'll drop this right here. (I'd give credit, but a friend shared via text and doesn't know the origin) #TCMParty

There’s an off ramp as wide as the world to get out of this. Real bipartisanship and solving a real health care problem for constituents should be the order of the day.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Never been prouder to be a veteran than seeing the generals response as they listened to Trump and Hegseth.

This short passage from a Politico afternoon newsletter captures a huge amount of the advantage gained by lying at scale and the why the DC press corps remains wired for the GOP.

Authorities investigate possible Russian "hybrid warfare" after oil tanker cuts undersea cables At least 11 critical undersea cables have been cut in the Baltic Sea in the past two years. Authorities suspect Russian hybrid warfare aimed at undersea infrastructure.

Late last year, Finnish special forces seized control of the Eagle S, a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker, after it dragged its anchor and severed undersea cables. The maneuver was the first time Finnish forces had boarded and seized any foreign ship since WWII. cbsn.ws/470fIUs

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.
 
Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations.

We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.

Let's hope he does so and the judge agrees.

Their attitudes when dropping the dirt in this second time. #tcmparty #TheThirdMan

Good analysis. #TCMParty #TheThirdMan

And lovely cuckoo clocks indeed. Our souvenir from the Black Forest. #tcmparty

I was so struck by what Harry Lime did that it's stayed with me as a definition of evil. #TheThirdMan #tcmparty

Great reveal with the cat. #tcmparty #TheThirdMan

I love the radio series. I used to listen to it on Sirius XM. I'm going to have to see if I can find it again. #TheThirdMan #tcmparty
