I like how Annie Applebaum lays it all out clearly, sickening though it is. anneapplebaum.substack.com/p/the-strang...

Toad woke up. “Drat!” he said. “This house is a mess. I have so much work to do.” Frog looked through the window. “Toad, you are right,” said Frog. “It is a mess.” Toad pulled the covers over his head.

Something about these flowers

“Toad,” said Frog, “I will hold the ball of string. You hold the kite and run.”

Timeline cleanser: Ashley Biden shared a warm Biden family Easter photo from California—simple reminder of what normal looks like.

So relevant, even now. Will this nightmare EVER end?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=P76l...

That night when Toad went to bed he thought the biggest thoughts that he could think. Toad thought about giant sunflowers. He thought about tall oak trees. He thought about high mountains covered with snow.

“Let those who have weapons lay them down,” Pope Leo XIV said in his first Easter address. “Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!” religionnews.com/2026/04/05/p...

“Why are you pouring water over your head?” asked Frog. “I hope that if I pour water over my head, it will help me to think of a story,” said Toad.

Wow

Fascinating.

I love seeing positive posts here on Bsky.

Elon Musk has 6.5 MILLION times more wealth than the typical American. It’s time for a wealth tax — billionaires must pay their fair share.

This explains so much. Self- hatred manifests as power to control & cause misery. Oh man.

This is interesting to me because I spent a lot of my childhood in Missouri & still have family there.

Time to move from California north a couple of states perhaps.

For non-space people who follow me, the Artemis 2 mission with four astronauts to loop around the Moon is on track, with countdown started to liftoff at 6:30 pm Eastern on Wednesday.

Saving to listen later. I've always loved Science Friday but haven't listened as much the past several years.

Interesting. Gift Article. One thing he funded & why made me laugh out loud. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/o...

This is my state so I will be there to hear what she has to say. I would love to have a responsive & female governor.

This is so important in today’s world, for all of us, not just educators.

Cruelty, humiliation, and negativity are used by authoritarian leaders to reshape emotions and position themselves as saviors. Watch this short from @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social now: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Y0sD50gbVtM @aft.org @aftteach.bsky.social

As we resist tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we build courage. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief today at No Kings protests across the country.

“Frog, tell that turtle to go away,” said Toad. “I do not want him to see me in my bathing suit when I come out of the river.”

A memo in Trump's stolen records case indicates he kept classified documents – the people’s documents – that were “pertinent to his business interests.” That establishes a motive, and not a surprising one. It’s always about money and power for the criminal Trump.
