Bear visited my yard tonight.

A month from right now, we will be taking to the streets on No Kings Day. While Trump wastes tens of millions of dollars on a military parade, we’re standing together again on June 14 to remind him and all our fellow Americans that we don’t do kings in this country: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The Republicans are trying to sneak in a clause that prevents any law regulating AI for the next 10 years. Is this part of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill?” x.com/iampoliticsg...

The end of an Indivisible May 1 rally in Fitchburg, MA

About 250 people showed up in Bolton, MA for a No Kings rally. #NoKings

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program. Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs. Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them. See how this works?

Trump’s purge of non-partisan public servants endangers public safety and the rule of law. This video is from Justice Connection, a resource group for former DOJ employees: youtu.be/RfRDKXyJJeg?...

Woke up to some late Spring snow as the forsythia is starting to bloom. Hard to believe that most of the dwarf iris will be blooming in a month.

Now they’re harassing lawyers who represent Palistine clients . youtube.com/watch?v=4af7...

The crocus are blooming.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

A quote I solved yesterday in Cryptogram: “It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare, you’re so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare. ‘And what is that nightmare, Craig?’ ‘Life.’” — Ned Vizzini

A friend texted this image to me yesterday.

Scary and true.

This isn’t hypothetical. Let’s look at how Trump’s steel tariffs in 2018 affected the industry. Factories closed as downstream industries—like auto and construction—faced higher costs, losing $3.5B in output. 1/

Welcome to the dumbest administration

It’s important to know that DOGE’s real purpose is to break our government, not eliminate fraud and waste.

Remember that today’s the day when you should only shop at small businesses.

Getting SSDI is already a long process that can take years. I fear it will now take even longer.

Our opinions do not matter in the Musk/Trump/Vance administration.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.  The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.  Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Personally, I don’t think the government should be cutting healthcare and food help for the disabled, elderly, and poor so the richest people can pay less in taxes.

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

Donald Trump promised not to touch Medicaid. 12 hours later, he broke that pledge by endorsing a budget that would strip basic health care from working families, children and seniors.

Looking forward to Spring. This picture of “Isn’t This Something” was taken 6/12/2024. #iris

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

It’s likely that children have also died from starvation. If a woman in Sudan has pregnancy complications and needs a C-section she will die too because that hospital has been shut down.

On February 28 only buy from local small businesses . x.com/campbell4tn/...

The coup is taking place right in front of our eyes.

Indivisible is holding an organizing call Sunday night from 8-9pm ET. I’ll be joining. You can register here:

1/Trump’s actions in just 11 days threaten our Constitutional framework. It’s hard to pick the wors, but here’s some that exceed the Saturday Night Massacre when Nixon fired his AG, DAG and Special Prosecutor. Trump far from exceeded that. Read below to judge for yourself if he’s dangerous.

Who’s not surprised?

I was play Cryptogram and solved this quote:

Finally some good (actually great) news! An Israel-Hesbollah ceasefire is currently in effect.

This is how authoritarians get into power. youtube.com/watch?v=jfgf...

Comcast will be spinning off MSNBC. And yes, Joe and Mika should lose their morning show. youtube.com/watch?v=UhjQ...

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

One of the goals of authoritarian leaders is to create chaos so that people disengage from politics. Rest if you must, but paying attention is will be important to safeguarding our democracy. Proposed recess appointments and private background checks is a dangerous start.

Contact your House of Representative and encourage them to stop this bill so Trump can’t call any nonprofit he doesn’t like a terrorist organization and shut them down. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-n...

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.

Sex offenders in our White House appointing sex offenders as Attorney General should NEVER be normalized. Never stop calling this out.
