I tell these stories because I think we are all on edge, watching the atrocities and outrages of the Trump Administration, and feeling that something more than the current protests must happen, something decisive, something transformative. I tell them because....

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

This is a critical point everybody in the media should be amplifying:

Uncharted territory can be terrifying but the flip side of that is responses to it can be exhilarating. It's a thrill, how infinite the range of blueprints, the myriad ways people are making it up as they go along and watching it build. Just 5 stories in, I feel better already.

In a world of Matts, be a Derek.

He was a few months ahead of himself.

BREAKING: "At 1:15 PM tomorrow, President Trump will pick a country's name out of a MAGA hat and impose crippling tariffs on that country's goods for four minutes. This will happen daily until America is great again."

Some of us have been saying this since 2020 and even before: Dems should make corruption *the* central issue in US politics and public life and go on the offensive against GOP/MAGA/Trump transparent and hypocritical corruption and grifting. Most voters hate corruption.

Call your Senators & Reps tomorrow morning, especially the GOP ones, & demand support for Ukraine. Every GOP official needs to be asked if they are behind Trump & believe we should ally with Putin over Zelensky.

The foreign policy of a nation often reflects its leader. Our foreign policy is now churlish, acquisitive, brutish, impulsive, reckless, callous, boorish, expansionist, shallow, ignorant, exploitive, nasty, dishonest, manipulative, corrupt and unethical. A reflection of our president.

I don’t give a fuck about what Zelensky was “wearing.” I care about the fact that my once upon a time beacon of democracy nation kicked him to the curb in favor of an evil despot. That’s what I fucking care about.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Budgeting and overspending? Look for an accountant. Fraud? Look for a lawyer. Someone who is neither? Look for Musk. This is the job of Congress. Not Musk. Our Government has been hijacked. #coup

So let's take a small weekly recap about Air Safety in the US: *Washington DC: 67 people killed *Philadelphia Medivac: 7 people killed *Chicago O'Hare collision: 1 critically injured *Seattle collision: no injuries *Alaska missing plane: 10 status unknown. 5 accidents. 84 killed probability. #TEI

I can't stop watching this. www.youtube.com/shorts/V5nz2...

I laughed so hard, I had to watch it two more times. My favorite line ever is his last. I'd love to be as good as Dax Shepard at telling a story. www.facebook.com/reel/5625715...

Let’s keep spreading the truth.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Taxpayers are funding House Republicans to go on a retreat at Donald Trump's Doral resort golf club today through Wednesday. The corruption is staggering.

First post on Bluesky. Glad to see lots of old familiar faces. Could really use a huge blue hug right about now!💙
