The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

You don't have to be "smart" to work for this administration, just loyal.🙄

I'm attending May Day Strong's event, “May Day! May Day! South Hadley Stands Up for Democracy” - sign up now to join me! MAY 3rd SOUTH HADLEY VILLAGE COMMONS! JOIN ME!! www.mobilize.us/handsoffindi...

This is who we are now?!

On the 250th Anniversary of the ride that changed the course of history. America knows how to stand up to tyrants. We've been here before... insideoutpoetry.blogspot.com/2025/04/one-...

Bravo to Harvard for taking a stand!! "We’ve thrown the tea crates in the harbor. When threatened, we’ll defend our ground. Massachusetts will not cower; and so it starts in Boston town." insideoutpoetry.blogspot.com/2025/04/a-go...

Shout out to #HarvardUniversity. Thank you, and all of the colleges and universities standing with you. Proud to be a New England native living in Massachusetts! #Poetry #History insideoutpoetry.blogspot.com/2025/04/a-go...

Four years. Always in my heart. insideoutpoetry.blogspot.com/2025/04/in-e...

Bravo to my intrepid Hands Off! standers who braved the cold April showers yesterday in Western MA, and to all who stood out in your own towns and cities. We are stronger together.Hang tough. This is for you. insideoutpoetry.blogspot.com/2025/04/a-co...

Hands Off! Granby, MA 4/05/25 12:00 to 2:00. Despite the rain, people still came out to share their voices!

Hands Off! 4/5/25 South Hadley, MA 10:30 to 11:30. Congressman Richard Neal spoke in support and solidarity, and our young State Senator Jacob Oliveira shared time with his constituents.

youtu.be/-iEn0h3FEw8?... Fits this moment that Cory Booker brought us.

#NaPoWriMo25 Day One: a small start. Hard to be inspired with all the stuff happening in our country. "Happy writing" to all of my fellow poets! insideoutpoetry.blogspot.com/2025/04/only...

Where are our human rights people? Where are the Democratic leaders we looked up to & supported? Is there no one left? One or two in Congress-Bernie and AOC and Jamie Raskin. Where is Hillary and Obama and Biden? Schumar sold out. It would be encouraging to hear from the supporters of Democracy.

Quote from Tulsi. I think I should pertain to Hegseth, too. A major accident just waiting to happen...Oh wait! It just did!

Holy shit, a whopping 56 percent of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's abysmal handling of the economy. This is lower than any other point even in his first term. PASS IT ON.

Rep. Nadler speaks.

The President of the United States is vowing to disappear students from college campuses who say things the government doesn't like. There are not enough alarms for this.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but we didn't have multiple plane crashes per week under President Biden.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

As often as people have been ripped off or scammed, why would ANYONE in their right mind think it's a good idea to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? Any politician who thinks it's OK needs to fucking resign.

Why would you put your child at risk when you can protect them??

The Baltic states Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have today fully decoupled their energy grid from Russia. At the moment they are running in an island mode, but starting tomorrow the energy grid will be reconnected with the European Union.

Exclusive: President Trump's nominee as Air Force Secretary, currently a top official at the national spy satellite agency, arranged a multibillion-dollar contract solicitation in a way that favored Elon Musk's SpaceX, according to seven people familiar with the contract reut.rs/4b7MUKt

Protest in Boston

NEW: The American people are turning against Elon Musk. His approval rating has plummeted to -11 from +29 in 2016, per a new Quinnipiac poll. 53% oppose him having a key role in a Trump admin, with just 39% in support—dropping to 36% among independents.

"Elon Musk is not an elected member of the government. He is running the Department of Governmental Efficiency. ... It is not a government agency. It has never been created by Congress. It has no legal authority.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov

An application of the “grey rock” method of dealing with narcissistic personalities.

Kaine: "He let Musk force the resignation of the FAA administrator. He disbanded an aviation safety committee... he's got an OMB director who's pushing a hiring freeze & saying 'I want to traumatize the federal workforce'"... he's got an anti-safety agenda..that's why he went the race-baiting route"

Trump's spending freeze was unconstitutional and a violation of the Impoundment Control Act. But the public uproar yesterday should serve as a reminder that Trump's plans to gut federal programs are deeply unpopular. Keep fighting. Keep up the pressure. Don't tune out. www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/p...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but may your objectives be honorable, your intentions unquestionable, your courage unflappable, and may your aim be true.

Never give up. Never surrender. #Poetry insideoutpoetry.blogspot.com/2025/01/inte...

In the scheme of things, my choice to boycott viewing the inauguration will not matter, except for my own peace of mind. Besides, s.o.a.h., d.d.
