Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.

Anybody else thinking that this satire we’re living has gotten way too dark?

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.

Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.

Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a trench with his soldiers at his back.

WOW
Just watched the clips of the Orange Buffoon embarrassing our nation in front of one of the bravest men alive; President Zelenskyy.

Words don't get it, but surely this is one of this nations most shameful days.

Unbelievable
Please accept our most humble apologies

We stopped in Selma on our way to the Monroeville Literary Festival. We ate a wonderful lunch at the 5 & Dime (go there eat and stay in the gorgeous lofts), summoned courage from the heroes who crossed this bridge, and danced to The Pine Hill Haints in the courtroom from To Kill a Mockingbird.

For the past five years or so I’ve kept this empty silk cocoon on my desk. Now I’ve found one in my yard. And thrilled to watch for the moth emerge.

I’m very excited and honored to read at the Laura Riding Jackson Foundation in April!

For the trillium lovers out there, a few pics

Will do! May send it to you via PM

Absolutely thrilled to appear in this anthology alongside poet heroes Camille Dungy, Seamus Heaney, Jorie Graham, Lucille Clifton, Jane Hirshfield, and more! Look for it in April from Storey Press.

Oh! This is awesome! Now I want to write poem that is a counterspell. Thanks for the inspiration!

'There is no one left': Custer Gallatin National Forest workers reeling from job losses The cuts weren’t isolated. Across the seven ranger districts that comprise the Custer Gallatin National Forest, Knight said she has heard of at least 32 terminations as of Monday.

As a result, she said, just three full-time employees remain in both the Yellowstone and Bozeman ranger districts to manage 19 rental cabins, 60 bathrooms, 21 campgrounds and other infrastructure spread across 1 million acres.

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

He’s calling people who receive federal assistance “parasites” while taking $8 million a day from U.S. taxpayers—plus another $400 million on the way for armored Teslas. What a hypocrite. This administration is full of terrible people.

Hey y’all! I’m new to this platform, so I’m sharing a bit about me, my latest book (co-written with my husband) and our home, a glass cabin we built by hand: www.uab.edu/uabmagazine/...

And as Russia is winning the Cold War. (Credit to Dell Kata for pointing this out to me)

Elon Musk’s staffers have taken an additional $7.4 million this week in expenses, bringing the total to $14.4 million.

Additionally, Trump announced his intention to immediately close the Education Department.

Imagine that.

Top tip. Don’t have insomnia in the middle of a coup.

An executive order has now given DOGE oversight of all government departments.

It’s a complete takeover of the federal government by Musk. A Musk ‘team lead’ will now make all hiring decisions according to a ‘data-driven’ model
