Just saw someone tabling outside Trader Joe’s to reject WA state’s income tax. She didn’t look like a millionaire. People! This income tax will not affect you negatively!! It will pay for programs we need.

We need more cities to be working toward this.

Brief read of disease info on Wikipedia - 40% fatality rate. Any medical professionals or specialists have better data?

Hmm.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

My spouse worked a Biden event. Secret service closed the entire campus. They searched all folks coming into the event. They were everywhere. How the heck do two shooters get that close? It’s simply not conceivable that this White House security is that lax.

I miss having leaders in stories like this instead of all the corruption and chaos.

Today (April 20) is the 27th anniversary of Columbine. I was a sophomore in high school when it happened, and I remember the school's response was to "ban trench coats." 🤔 People might kill people, but guns do it faster and more efficiently. We needed gun control then and we need it now.

Disabled veterans arrested by Capitol police protesting the war on Iran. "Not another nickel, not another dime, no more for Trump's war crimes/the cost of war is too damn high."

Donald Trump is killing real schoolgirls in Iran and kidnapping and murdering real Americans in the streets. Interesting that the only thing he’s done that went “too far” for MAGA was an *imaginary* image. What a ridiculous world we live in.

Sunday Taquitos #23: Cold As ICE Art by @ivan-ehlers.bsky.social

This is something we should all look into!!

People need to keep their eyes on this. We are committing genocide here.

morning

Letter from the #Epstein survivors slamming Pam Bondi. - via Jim Acosta on X

Honoring Transgender Visibility Day. You are seen and valuable to our lives. Please stay brave and strong.

Home.

Baggage claim. Sam went to retrieve our car while I wait on our suitcases. Next stop: he, my bed with my pillow!! Cannot wait!!

Sleepy, but final flight from Las Vegas to Sea. Then we get our car and head home. It’s been a month since I slept in my bed.

At the Sunport. About an hour from take off. We’ll miss family and the land of enchantment.

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

The longer we tolerate this without real action, the more normal concentration camps become. Vote for folks committed to ending this.

TSA agents need to get paid, not have ICE agents hovering over them, and not intimidate travelers.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

And as soon as I get home, I’ll be boycotting travel by air.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Proud of our Congress. Come on WA State senate!!

WTF. These representatives need to be confronted by their constituents who always say they don’t see color or every one is valuable or all lives matter.

Remember when folks wouldn’t vote for VP Harris because of Israel. Huh.

Name one war fought over solar panels and/or wind turbines. You cant, and we know why.

Please hear these monstrous men and wha they are saying. This is wrong.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

The new head of DHS referred to "President Hegseth" the other day, quickly corrected himself, and then complimented "President Hegseth." #MarkwayneMullin #NepoPlumber

Arrest Noam now.

We’re supposed to be able to get assistance from our embassies or why do we pay for them?

Um. Yup. A whole lots of deplorable folks who would rather build concentration camps than tax the rich.

Glad to be home for a bit. Time for some green chile and protesting this “peace” president’s war.

Egads, these folks cannot handle criticism. And bravo, Rep. Green for using non-violent protest tonight.

Just listened to that today and it was thoroughly disgusting. Dude bro hockey players, our women’s team is bringing home the same metal and without the benefit of having as many youth hockey oops as you’ve had. Jerks.

While Rep. Massie agree on very little else, I appreciate his tenacity re:justice for the Epstein victims.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered. ~ Veterans for Peace

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

This made me laugh. Go dog!!

Someone tell Bari about the Streisand effect

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I met Jesse Jackson once. He was doing a stump speech for Clinton in the fall of 1992 and came to UNM. He shook hands after and I got to tell him how much I admired him. I know this is part of living, losing people you admire. I pray for comfort as we grieve.

Wow.
