This is another instance of “the fox guarding the chicken house,” Make no mistake, his plan is to sell off our public land to private interests/private equity = it’s an abomination and we must stop this: www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

A robin made a nest in one of my plant pots right outside my studio. The baby birds are hatching today.

@padilla.senate.gov where are you?

A federal program to protect US cities against extreme heat has just evaporated

Gotta love an 86-year-old woman with the heart of a poster

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

there really seems to be a strange “green lantern theory of fascism” that some people on this website have internalized, in which the white house’s desire for martial law — it’s desire for organized repression — is tantamount to a guarantee that it will happen

Important to understand:

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Every accusation is a confession

In light of what’s happening in LA, this article from a couple of months ago has resonance: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

A good respirator protects against more than just Covid. It’ll help you avoid flu, colds and other airborne infections. It’ll help with allergies and asthma. It’ll offer protection from toxic wildfire smoke. Now is the perfect time to start masking again!

@briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social Jen - pls don’t misrepresent these courageous women’ behavior as “ aggressive”. It reveals a covert bias reflected in a poor choice of words and will be used agst them - thought you knew better.

The “emergency”ruling seems disingenuous & predicated on the assumption of public ignorance.This time period grants DOGE enough time to abscond all data. DOGE is now run by the high priest of P2025- Russell Vought who we know has the best interests of all as a priority. www.npr.org/2025/04/08/n...
