I grew up in Jersey and figured I'd reach out. #newjersey get out and vote for @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for governor. For me it boils down to a great candidate who also isn't going to bow to Trump, allow him to turn our nation into his personal fiefdom and flush our democracy down the toilet.

Is #Hegseth recalling all the generals for a mass firing or replacing with Trump loyalists? Will #Trump require an oath of loyalty? Is this a staging for a mass-casualty event to give the administration an excuse to grab total power? Will they try to sell a dystopian world view?

#NoKings protest in La Palma Park, Anaheim CA. When I left I passed many blocks of people's with signs walking to the park

1. The Trump administration claims that a program to protect rural Alabamans from raw sewage is racist so it is canceling the program as part of its crackdown on "DEI" According to a press release, this is about treating "every individual with dignity and respect." 🤔

Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ? Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

What happens if the USD loses its status as the world's dominant trade currency? Could countries shift to the euro, yuan or another? How would that affect the USA economy and our influence in the world - beyond the current chaos?

We will have no kings in America. 😡

60 days in and we've become a mature dictatorship: protesting a company run by co-POTUS Musk will now get you sent to a prison in El Salvador. We went from being the United States to being the Soviet Union in 2 months—and Democrats did nothing to stop it.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

I just watched Green Book with my family. Wonderful movie based on a true story.,👍👍

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix* The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Birthright citizenship 3: My letter to editor of NY Times on Barnett and Wurman’s misleading essay They’re not publishing it, so I’m self-publishing. Now y’all know what to do: shugerblogcom.wordpress.com/2025/02/21/b...

WATCH: “What are you going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House?” An @reprichmccormick town hall in a red GEORGIA district erupts in cheers - then boos loudly as he tries to invoke Biden and both-sides Trump’s actions. Full video: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUf45s...

Well this isn’t ominous

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Heard "Spin the Wheel" on #Arcane yesterday and have to say I love it. Great song. youtu.be/opy_y0dkwmk?...

I wrote this some time ago and thought I'd share. Why? Who knows. It's better than politics...but thinking on it, it is very like our politics. stormvisions.com/2022/06/08/r...

I was going through some of my ancient Dropbox folders and found something I wrote years ago. I'm not a poet but nevertheless, buoyed by my find I decided to share it. The images are just some AI generated bits as the post looked naked without them. stormvisions.com/2025/01/17/t... #writing #poetry

I watched the tribute to #JimmyCarter & can only say job well done Mr. Carter. You walked the walk & served something greater than yourself. You didn't see a melting pot but a mosaic with pieces of different shape, color & texture carefully fitted to a majestic work by the hand of a loving God.🙏🇺🇸

WATCH: “It is so dispiriting to see this coming from the so-called ‘right’ — we will not sit here and cheer as they take good jobs from Americans.” Fox Guest goes off as Trump sides with Elon/Vivek over Bannon/MAGA on H-1B Visas

REPORT: “Tesla has replaced some of its US employees who were let go as part of a big wave of layoffs earlier this year with foreign workers using H-1B visas, which CEO Elon Musk is now campaigning to increase (with Trump’s support).” electrek.co/2024/12/30/t...

In 2022, I posed a rhetorical question to Facebook in response to its prompt: “How are you doing today?” I then asked ChatGPT the same question I had asked Facebook, and here was its surprisingly thoughtful response. stormvisions.com/2024/12/20/i...
