Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s dismantling of USAID will lead to millions of preventable deaths.

The decision of the richest person in the world to destroy an agency that delivers life-saving aid to the poorest people on the planet is unconscionable.

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers.

It’s a massive waste.

I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

Trump Officials Release Water in California That Experts Say Will Serve Little Use Local officials and experts said the water the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began sending downstream on Friday could have been helpful to farmers later this year. President Trump, in an apparent refer...

The incompetence is shocking:

- The fire hydrants had no pressure because of a large draw

- Trump falsely believed it was because of a lack of water supply

- He orders several dams to be opened which don't flow to LA

- Trump brags about the "beautiful water flow that I just opened"

Kudos to the Royal Oak Area Democratic Club. After a lively meeting, had a great discussion of On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. Quick, easy read, with lots of suggestions for the next few years.
Also, just joined ACLU, with a monthly pledge... they are the best line of resistance we have.

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class.

Well, in 2025, it’s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too.

I’ve seen a lot lately about the screenwriters outdoing themselves again. But honestly, if you were crafting a fictional treatment of the demise of American democracy, you would have tried to make the characters a lot more plausible.

Weather and his hair.
Horrific turnout.

So many things we could/should do, but for the the will to elect people who are not beholden to anything but doing the right thing. Maybe the coming shit storm will wake people up.

Shout out to my new senator Elissa Slotkin, @elissaslotkin.bsky.social, seen here giving Pete Hegseth a run for his money. Her victory was a bright spot in Michigan’s otherwise dismal November.

Here is the list of names of the 44 Republicans who voted against HR 10545 which provided forest management and wildfire prevention funding in December.

Every single one of them talking smack about the wildfire response in California need to sit TF down.
