America: let’s put a moronic criminal in charge of our finest men and women in uniform. Also America: let’s hope our finest men and women in uniform do not listen to the moronic criminal we put in charge of them.

My battery is low but Junie has energy!

Thought I'd share my sign for the next No Kings protest. 🚫👑

View from my window of #WarRavagedPortland. The most dangerous thing here is the powdery mildew that is taking over my squash, as it seasonally does. 🌱 #Gardening

Love to go from studying the fall of the Roman Empire to experiencing it. Just a millennium or so till the Renaissance!

Prepping #theMicrofarm 's 3 tall raised garden beds for cold weather. I bent & installed 1/2" EMT conduit in 1/2 hoops to support UV resistant greenhouse cover. Inside that will be last year's red Pex hoops supporting IRAD greenhouse cover, creating double-walled protection. 1/ #SanityGarden

In effect: "We are explicitly threatening to starve Americans to force a budget deal"

The Deputy Chief of Staff... is in charge of military strikes? Do we even have a president?

militarily”—masks the real agenda now confirmed by Pentagon sources: unveiling a new national defense strategy that pivots from China to “homeland defense.” Translation: the military’s new primary mission is controlling Americans.

He makes for some great photo opts.

#StunDay #ViveLaFrance I'm amazed that France has as many Flamingos as Florida! That's FFFantastic!! 🤩🦩🦩🦩

United Healthcare just published notice of changes for Medicare Advantage policy!! Co-pays have at least doubled! Deductible has at least doubled! Cap has at least doubled! Less coverage on dental and vision coverage! Prescription coverage to rely on manufactures discounts! MAGA are we great yet!

Tom Nichols, Jon Stewart, etc in 2024: "it's too early to call them fascists" Trump regime in 2025: "it is now illegal terrorism to call us fascists" Funny how the time window on that worked

As per usual: no mention of political violence against Democrats. The armed man near Kavanaugh’s house who turned himself in becomes an “assassination attempt” while the actual assassination of Melissa Hortman not mentioned. Attacks on ICE facilities are political violence but not attacks on CDC.

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

If you're in Portland, go take some video of how nothing is going on there. Document that Trump is invading for no reason.

Crack in an egg. You can’t make a tasty strudel without breaking some eggs. Form the dough. Knead until it’s as elastic as the truth. Set the dough out of sight and out of mind.

Johnson is a key actor and has been for many years. At the intersection of religious extremism, dominion theology and the attempt to overthrow the 2020 elections, even before he became Speaker. Now key Epstein coverup player. Investigative Journalists pls go deep www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22...

That’s because we’re tired. And for us to stay outraged every day all day, the way the media wants us would be for us not to have lives outside of politics and we have to continue living and trying to be happy. It’s not all about them.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.

Btw the answer to Speaker Johnson disenfranchising the voters who cast their ballots for Rep. Grijalva is NOT, “healthcare.”

#Canada , pay attention. We are similarly impacted. Look for solutions. One of the most important is to support the #CBC Despite its imperfections, it remains the envy of troubled countries like the states. #Democracy needs publicly funded media to survive. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Hard to believe no one ate the sandwich.

If Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva just to block her from being the 218th signature to force a vote on the Epstein files, then I think we should reasonably conclude that he’s in those files. And then tell everyone. Can you believe Mike Johnson is in the files?

This only happens to you once

Watergate looks like a parking violation compared to this administration.

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year. Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.
