@ezralevin.bsky.social I've wondered, 'Why 3.5%?' So, THIS was super helpful in answering my question. You probably already know the info in this video, but passing it along anyway in case you might find it interesting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4sy...

Why participating in a protest, matters. Please stand up for our democracy tomorrow at any one of the over 1,800 protests planned nationwide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAQX...

NO KINGS Day 6/14/25. Over 1800 nationwide peaceful protests planned from major cities to small towns. Why Indivisible chose to not include Washington, DC for a protest. youtu.be/yH6un97Ds0M?...

Sat. June 14th. Northampton City Hall Rally. 10:30 AM-12 noon. I'll be there! Click www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... , type in a zip code to find a rally that's close to YOU.

RE: Ukraine's very successful Operation Spider's Web. "Even more pithy was a tweet from the quarterly Business Ukraine journal, which proudly proclaimed "It turns out Ukraine does have some cards after all. Today Zelensky played the King of Drones." -quoted from BBC article June 1, 2025.

Ukraine's Operation Spider Web. Wooden cabins with hidden drones for destroying military targets, quietly positioned inside russia. Brilliant! Like a new tech age Trojan Horse maneuver.🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini! This is one of those moments in warfare that changes everything.

So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations? On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵

Feeling depressed/powerless? Please watch this, Share, & know YOUR ART IS NEEDED AND IT'S POWERFUL. "Giving your attention to art is a rebellious act. When we create we have agency in a world that says we're too small to enact change. Making Art is activism." www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XZ9...

I'm attending Volunteer Blue/Together We Elect's event, “No Kings–Then or Now: Historian H. Cox Richardson, AG Campbell, US Rep. Raskin - Resche www.mobilize.us/volunteerblu...

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

Something light-hearted. If you own a Tesla and have regret, there is help. Call 1-866-EFF-MUSK, select from 1 of 3 options. This is a real number and a voice recording answers. You choose option 1, 2, or 3. It's very funny to listen to. If you call I'd love to read your reactions, here.

www.facebook.com/share/p/1BS7... "Bill Maher(political comedian) thinks that having dinner with Trump is somehow noble. Authoritarians have done it for years..to create cognitive dissonance/blur the horror. When you toast with a strongman, you’re not bridging divides. You’re giving them legitimacy.

President Zelenskyy in an excellent interview with 60 Minutes. Please watch. And please, share if you are able. www.youtube.com/watch?v=odFT...

The Jewish holiday Passover has begun. Please be extra supportive and respectful of the Jewish community as they face ever increasing antisemitism here in the U.S. and all over the world. I stand by the Jewish community. 🔯❤️

Do not yet have a thick skin for the chaos/political news happening every day here. (AP) reported that on the 1st night of the Jewish holiday Passover, Gov. Shapiro (PA) and family had to evacuate their home after an arsonist set it on fire. Thankfully no injuries. Gov. Shapiro is Jewish. 🔯❤️

😠trump's tariffs Apr. 2 set off waves of panic and U.S. protest. On Apr. 9th I think Chris Hayes, MSNBC, aptly summed up the results, on bsky: "You [trump] set the house on fire, watched it burn and then lost your nerve and put it out. Now you [trump] have a partially burned house. Great job."

The U.S. National Day of Protest-enormous success. Millions across the U.S. took to the streets. I participated in Boston which had 100,000 people as reported by the police helicopters who took arial shots of the massive crowds. Lots of UKR flags and support too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0F_...

We need to "mute Trump" & let other voices be heard more. Here's an example of brilliance, amazing vision and integrity. 🙏 America & the world deserve and need to hear more of the ideas laid out in this interview. Highly recommended to take out the time to watch. Thank you! ⬇️

If you want to watch the truth, instead of lies that will make up the State of the Union: stateofthepeople.media

Is trump *trying* to give up the U.S. to putin? -he's put crazies in positions of great authority and access to national security. -by offering up Ukraine to putin he's saying "Ok! attack sovereign countries; no consequences." -make a deal with the devil, don't expect him to not come after you.

Happy birthday President Abraham Lincoln. Your work to bring healing and unity to a country bitterly and destructively divided, offered us a bridge to once again unite as one country. Your leadership and vision were precious gifts to the American people.

"trump is acting like a king, because he is too weak to govern as a president." Ezra Klein.

Feeling overwhelmed by this firehose of outrageous acts by trump and his people? It's intentional. We need to recognize this. Don't give in to it. "[trump's] projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness." www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8QL...

A 'doom&gloom' break pls: "The Halfway Cafe BREAKING: The feminist mafia group that calls itself "The Cliterati" says they are currently collecting all the sexually explicit texts that Republican members of Congress have sent to female staffers, and will publish them in a giant exposé in March. "

They (trump Administration people) want us to comply in advance, b/c they want people to be passive and afraid b/c that makes it easier for them to do whatever the hell they want to do. AOC (Alexandria Ocasio Cortez): "Do not comply in advance."

Fight back on ICE. To protect yourself and others, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. Read what your rights are HERE, on AOC's government page: ocasio-cortez.house.gov/services/imm...

What's going on in U.S. politics? What can we do about it? AOC with some clear, calm explanations, starting with, "Take a breath." Everyone is overwhelmed. So, "take a breath" to take care of you, first. Please watch. And please Share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVgN...

'It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.' The GOP adopted that mindset and they act accordingly, for greed & power, sacrificing democracy. I think Democrats must now adopt this mindset--To SAVE democracy in the United States. The GOP coup is no longer slow moving.

In a war where the enemy respects nothing, the defender must put down the tea cup and meet the enemy where they are.

RE: Elon Musk's hostile takeover of the OPM [see previous post]. Call your congresswomen/men and representatives to demand action that this be stopped. Who are your congressmen/women, representatives? Find them here: www.house.gov/representati... www.facebook.com/heathercoxri...

Elon Musk now has control over Federal Treasury funds, access to social security numbers and Americans' personal financial info, in a hostile takeover at the OPM. This is NOT a partisan issue. This is a Constitutional crisis. Rep. and Dem voters call your representatives to demand a stop to this.

I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear. I will hold on to the truth. I will hold on to hope. Jim Acosta wrote those words and urged people to post on their social media. I believe in what he said. If you do too, please repost and urge others to do so as well.

Almost midnight. I am thinking about my country. I allow news only from trustworthy sources. Heather Cox Richardson's "Letters from an American" and her Tuesday politics chat, are 2 I'd recommend.. Tonight, a set of political cartoons, which reveal so much that words cannot. Still numb with grief.
