Not gonna lie, I’m not proud of myself for watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - Reunion, season 1, circa 2011. It's a bad sign and possibly a cry for help. But this looks like a cabinet meeting, USA, circa 2026. Help? Anyone?

www.cnn.com/2015/05/23/o... My grandfather, General Lucian K. Truscott, Jr. - gave a Memorial Day speech in Italy, 1945. This excellent 2015 article describes it.

This Memorial Day I feel great sorrow for heroes buried at Arlington & those who fought & died everywhere. My family has a tradition of fighting tyranny. Anyone can do it, but it takes more than posts & likes. We must protect our own country & stop them. Plot One, Arlington. My grandparents’ grave.

Happy Memorial Day Eve. Meet my grandpa, the tough guy who taught me to read. In my family, we have a long tradition of fighting dictators and tyranny.

Let’s talk boycotts. We aren’t at critical mass. There are few Amazon alternatives for many (rural, elderly). Even Target can be tough—Farmer’s markets? Safeway? What’s the option? Don’t even start with me re’ FB/Instagram. Elon’s X. Boycotts need buy-in, & most want to, but can’t, or cheat…

Very well put by the talented Elizabeth Strout.

noelcasler.substack.com/p/land-of-co... “…think about the sacrifices made on behalf of this nation by so many selfless men and women who dedicated their lives to the betterment of our nation & believed in the American idealism, to have so much moral capital go up in smoke is simply heartbreaking.”

“If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they’re going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can’t think of anything more un-American.” -Sen. Mark Kelly

The party of “hang Mike Pence” wants to lecture us about political rhetoric

@georgetakei.bsky.social George Takei, congrats for successfully disconnecting from the Twitter/ x /elon IV/ social addiction. You’re in a small elite group, and I respect your decision.

So a comedian's jokes should be taken seriously while trump's outrageous comments should be taken as 'jokes'???

You know your cat is spoiled when…. He wants fresh toast crumbs every day.

“…certain words have been rendered meaningless in describing the current state of affairs. Among them are shocking, surreal, unbelievable, unprecedented and unexpected.” [Steve Lopez Los Angeles Times] Around my house, the words are “where is my Ativan.”

Creative use of an existing logo in Bellevue, WA.

Nothing rhymes with “orange.” Lots of words rhyme with “war criminal.” Same with “dentures.” It’s more difficult to find a rhyme for “idiot.” Same with “orange idiot,” etc….

Nearly 1400 colleges/unis offer journalism degrees and we have no press corps. I’ve said since 2025 - we need a shadow press corps to cover Trump. If mainstream media won’t do it, step up, Substackers. Quit opining and cover him straight.

Marvin is sending the signal to Bat Man.

March 28 is respect your cat day. Marvin likes this idea.

Reposting from X supports Elon

legal-planet.org/2026/02/20/t... This maga shit makes me see - red. Aggrieved hypocritical nimbys. This dude has a granite business - the original NYT story has a woman w/a nearby “cheerleading gym” for kids. She’s mad, too! That concentration camps are bad for business comes as a shock to maga.

Column: Recent events make you wonder: How much do men really hate women? - Los Angeles Times An excellent piece today. Perhaps we may have a reckoning coming in more ways than one. I feel like I keep saying this.

Is it just me, or did bsky get turbo-charged recently?

www.civilbeat.org/2026/02/do-w... Great question and article from Hawaii, the youngest state.

Okay, let’s caturday, then. Last week, the giant tub of treats broke open in the box. Marvin thought it was too good to be true, but quickly figured out the treat bonanza. #caturday

Joe Rogan Says He Refused to Meet With Jeffrey Epstein - Rolling Stone “Rogan said he never would have met with (Epstein) anyway. “It's not even a possibility that I would've ever went," Rogan said.” Ahh, the old “Would’ve never went” defense.

…not a Super Bowl person, but I noticed the refs didn’t lie, the Seahawks were gracious winners and aren’t punishing the losing team, and the Patriots lost with dignity.They aren’t lying and saying they won and trying to steal the trophy.

Let’s be clear. This country didn’t overwhelmingly elect Trump.

www.npr.org/2026/02/10/g... Why do we expect Trump, who refused to call off the J6 rioters, to call off ICE? ICE on the streets of our cities/towns is brought to you by the J6 president. When we will we ever learn?

www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m... Calling all the people who kept their X account and repost tweets. You know who you are. Oops. Guess what? You’re helping Elon.

www.pcmag.com/explainers/w... Here’s a timely piece thanks to PCMagazine.

FYI - this is not a request for advice. [See also the pinned multi-part DIY list “what can I do.”]

www.usatoday.com/story/sports... It’s wild that the jocks are turning on Trump first. (Not counting The Boss). There’s safety in numbers, people. We outnumber “them,” and they are scared. Make them make it illegal to be us.

The Media Malpractice That Sent America Tumbling Into Trumpism newrepublic.com/article/2059... via @newrepublic.com

Could you imagine if Trump et al were in charge of the Super Bowl? The players, coaches, referees & owners— imagine if they were openly corrupt and lying about every play and point. The bookies would revolt.

“If you’re angry, stay angry. I’m angry, too—and we’re in this together.” >>bsky scolded me today for saying let’s do more sooner than save the date. I’m proud to be impatient.<< March 28th is a long way off. We’re in this together.

saveamericamovement.substack.com/p/here-is-th... This is the piece that spells out a plan that sounds pretty good to me.

To fight despair today, my to-do list is local. What is my city’s position on ICE raids? What resources for us citizens are out there? What can I do in my own backyard, today, to educate myself about where things stand in my backyard? Whistles seem… like a sad joke.

Mose Allison, 10/10 to 12/25 - the best of all of my many best cats. The hardest goodbye. Long may you run, Mose.

luciantruscott.substack.com/p/john-f-ken... My brother nailed it. We can just call him Dishonorable J. Trump from now on. Deplorable has always been too prissy.

When you call or contact the damn White House, remember that Donald Trump and every elected representative are public servants. They work for us. Our tax dollars pay their salaries and pay for their offices and security and health insurance. This isn’t Russia.

The lizard eyelids are a huge tell that Trump has had a recent too tight eye job. No wonder he has bruises on his hand — he’s a man of the facelift.

Once upon a time, I joined a class action lawsuit vs. Facebook re’ privacy (2022). Today I got a fishy looking email, and after due diligence, it turned out to be for real. Time to donate to a worthy anti-Zuckerberg cause. Seems right.

Somebody had a facelift recently.

My grandfather would be furiously pissed off with Trump’s Ukraine plan. In my America, the approx 16.1 million citizens who served and fought against tyranny in WWII would agree.

Quiet, piggy?
