🤦🏼‍♀️ Those are the acts of a madman.

One day, we’ll be able to tell our kids and our grandkids - when the future of our country was on the line, we fought for it. And we won. That means getting involved TODAY. Hear it from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

I think we would do better with President Chauncey Gardner.

Politicians do respond to public pressure. Here are a few examples: RKFJ told to back off on vaccines before midterms No more new "ICE surges" Politicians voicing opposition to AIPAC Our voices matter. Keep speaking out. Keep up the pressure. ☎️call 5calls.org/ ✍️write democracy.io/

If you’re wondering what the big concerns are for astronomy from the White House budget request and what you can do about it, check out this article!!!

We know that burning fossil fuels is heating our planet. New research reveals “a long-overlooked link” between producing plastics from fossil fuels and climate change. "In ocean areas where plastic gets caught in spinning currents," the heating impact "is particularly pronounced," the study found.

NEW: The Fifth Circuit would like to run the United States. The far-right federal appeals court and the district court judges below them are taking actions to control and influence what happens outside of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Tonight, at Law Dork:

WATCH: The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of the second Trump administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. Full story: propub.li/4tHp2Wd

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.

Could someone please tell me why the judge restricting mifepristone isn’t the lead story every where? They are escalating their assault on control of women’s bodies! www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

Lots of talk about SCOTUS’s decision in Callais, but not many people have actually read it. This piece goes to the text of the opinion & pulls key language. If you only read one thing about Callais, read the actual words of the justices here. joycevance.substack.com/p/what-the-c...

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “This is an attack on Black political power. To take away our representation.”

No. It means we all must work and contribute twice as much. This must be a Hungarian ( Magyar) tsunami to overcome. Then impeach the handmaids on the court and hold all grifters and thugs accountable.

Just a reminder...

I just had the pleasure of attending @mirandayaver.bsky.social’s book launch via Zoom, and friends, while watching her excellent presentation I realized how much I need to read her book, Coverage Denied. It’s about one of my favorite topics to bitch about, the Health Insurance Cartel.

New Cato study, using 30 years of federal, state, and local budget data, finds immigrants have reduced U.S. deficits by $14.5 trillion since 1994. It directly contradicts years of claims by nativists in Congress and the administration that immigrants are “behind the growth in debt.” zurl.co/Tp7M9

Or. All large factory type buildings should have solar panel panels and use renewable energy and kickstart that business.

Because that’s where they can get the best deal.

If @zacheverson.com writes it, we need to read it:

Solar and wind now dominate global electricity generation. Worldwide, solar and wind power will each surpass nuclear in 2026. This surge has halted fossil fuel power generation rise, with renewables overtaking coal, supported by battery storage providing system flexibility at scale.

There are many ways you can participate in the massive day of economic disruption on Friday, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...

So maybe, just maybe, people will start to realize there is less expensive and less damaging solution.

The technological gap is widening rapidly. While the US government wastes billions funding endless wars for the Zionist regime, China is unveiling revolutionary EV batteries that charge to 100 percent in just ten minutes. The West is completely being left behind. #cdnpoli

We’re running out of missiles after 1 m of gratuitous bombing which has left us in a worse position than it we’d never started…. And Ukraine has developed the next generation of defense and offense weapons and is doing deals with middle eastern and European states. 🤔

Just look at this lineup of (far-right/extremist, bigoted, horrible in general) speakers wanting you to vote no - and make sure you vote YES on Tuesday, if you haven't voted already! bluevirginia.us/2026/04/with...

Don’t mess with success. However, from the geriatricians point of view, daly ibuprofen, Naprosyn , Motrin, ketoprofen oral, greatly increases the risk of hypertension, edema, kidney damage, heart attack, strokes, and dementia. Don’t get me wrong my feet hurt like hell when I go out…1/

We need more of this.

This is a good health move from many points. It’s soothing meditative activity, it’s a group… the snacks and sitting… not so good but a good addition to a plant based diet and 30 min exercise a day.

I’m proud to bring $13.4 million back to FL-10 to invest in projects that strengthen our community — from expanding housing and transportation to environmental protections and community services. I’m committed to working every day to deliver real results for Central Florida.

Quoting from the book of Tarantino.

The old man also needs a mental status exam and a Geriatrician evaluation. Often early dementia goes undetected. People can act more irrationally, more reactively, and become more angry than they would’ve 10 years earlier. Oh yes, and the gun and the bullets must be taken away.

To be fair. The idea that someone with metastatic liver cancer would get significantly better from having ultrasound treatment to the largest metastasis is not good science. To offer false hope to families and make $50,000 for a treatment that does not improve outcome is fraud.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

We had a contractor out at the house today and he asked me about our Ioniq 5 EV. I explained how much we loved it/ Asked about service & I said it won't need brake pads until about 120k miles. Basically tires until then. I popped it open & he said "holy crap! It's huge inside!" Another #EV sold. ☺️

Klobuchar pulled hard on Minnesota history while holding the floor, noting she is standing at the desk of Hubert Humphrey, who introduced the bill that was later signed to protect the Boundary Waters.

Sen. Murkowski voted to strip protections from the Boundary Waters. Pleas call her DC office at (202) 224-6665 and tell her to switch her vote to a No vote tomorrow on HJR 140. The vote was 51-49!!! A changed vote by Murkowski would do the trick.

Washington is moving ahead with plans to create a new state Department of Housing. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/04/13/w...

Community is awesome.

Ok. 🤔. What am I missing here? The US VP is stumping in Hungary for a Putin ally, well, Potus is threatening to annihilate a country. Is this how they plan to celebrate our 250th anniversary of independence? By ridding us of all shred of democracy?

Yes, it’s a real map. 30 day departure from normal max temperature www.drought.gov

Yeah, I’m sure our vice president over there stumping for Putin’ buddy will change their mind.

Easy peasy. Sauté up some potatoes and leeks toss them in and then put it through the blender. It’ll be tasty. Oh yeah, and lots of garlic. Garlic saves everything. Said the lazy.
