Scenedesmus! If someone had told me three years ago that I would be rooting for green algae - growing in a DC pool? I would have never believed them. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

We have a 79 year old child as president, one who never learned some basic life lessons such as “ you break it, you buy it”.

nothing at all should distract us from this: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Life in the Un-United States of Hypocrisy: "Who am I as a government or anyone else, who am I as a man standing here now, to tell you what you should put in your body? "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body? I don’t have that right.” www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Squeeeky squeaky! Happy NO KINGS Day!! youtube.com/shorts/nLSC7...

Disturbing.. as is so much lately. I forgot that Wapo's "free" articles aren't really.. so here is a pdf. drive.google.com/file/d/1Q-b2...

Go HARVARD!!! www.reuters.com/world/us/har...

this is hilarious. Subtext: I, president & baby in charge, should be able to waste as much water as I feel fit when taking a shower. An issue of utmost importance, I am prioritizing it today over my ongoing efforts to destroy the U.S. government & economy. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Dude. I have an MFA (not an MBA) but I get trade better than you do. “We’re not gonna have deficits with your country, …We’re not gonna do that, because to me a deficit is a loss. We’re gonna have surpluses, or at worst we’re gonna be breaking even.”

YESSSSSS! bsky.app/profile/eddi...

Felt good to get out today & protest with my daughter about 2000 others in Palo Alto

Well, Trump has successfully run this bus straight off a cliff, now we are in free fall.. will this wake people up?

leaning in to good news today.. Susan Crawford's win (f-you Musk) and Cory Booker's epic 25 hr speech on the floor of the senate. Now I want every single dem to do a version of the same. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

Subtext on the IMLS cuts: we plan to cripple and/or shutter museums and libraries through the elimination of 1/2 of their funding, reshaping these important institutions as propaganda extensions of the administration. yippie

Sonderling promises IMLS will be “in lock step with this administration to enhance & foster innovation..We will revitalize I.M.L.S. and restore focus on patriotism, ensuring we preserve our country’s core values, promote American exceptionalism and cultivate love of country in future generations”

Media focused largely on looming tariffs today, but horrors coming from the Trump admin continue in other corners such as its attack on libraries and museums. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/a...

word of the day: FUBAR ! (Fucked up beyond all recognition). Thank you Pat Ryan www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Happy Ostara everyone !

The lows just keep getting lower, this is just so gross and disrespectful

Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do. (T Snyder)

Here we go! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...

Here's the article outside the paywall www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

‪ STOP "obeying in advance" "When you see important societal actors (university presidents, media, C.E.O.s, .. governors) changing their behavior ..to avoid the wrath of the government, that’s a sign that we’ve crossed the line into some form of authoritarianism" www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

Oh great, now Umbridge is back
