The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Guess my question is: how many Republicans, in light of the assassination and attempted assassination in MN this morning, spoke out or showed up at a march. Today I focused on family and supporting my neighbors. Complicit mfuckers sang along with non-licensed music at a parade.

I had the pleasure of discovering @justinwolfers.bsky.social after @betseystevenson.bsky.social gave a lecture at the Uni I work for and, I have to say- we Americans need more concise, clarifying & accessible economic content in media like this! KEEP IT UP. Econ powerhouses, those two!

One of the bits that plays on loop in my head when I listen to the actual news lately… wtf is happening… aaaargh. Having studied Political Science and Economics and now working in higher ed I am BAFFLED at the shit see, hear and read. Lots of the US didn’t take/understand Civics class and it shows.

Tom Emmer refuses three times to answer a question about if Trump has legal authority to deport American citizens (the answer is "no")

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

While I count down the weeks and months until our blooms start to pop, I will enjoy this little explosion of color during the “still grey” time in the Northeast that I saw at an event yesterday (a self-made bouquet by the event director).

Baking and cooking has always been therapeutic for me. Been doing it a LOT since early November. Weekly bread: olive Tonight’s dinner: seared duck breast w/grains and asparagus (Pizza for the pre-schooler, unless we get her to try the duck, which would be a huge win!)
