Abraham Lincoln: "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." It would be nice if we could make this manifest.

Patriotism...NOT protesting masked, unidentified kidnappings in our midst would be irresponsible an unpatriotic. And the phrase "privately-run detention ICE detention centers" is the most nauseatingly unpatriotic things I can imagine. I mean, what could go wrong with that? Oh.

Facing away from a hateful, performative parade could work. If they're paying for people to fill seats at the Nazi event this weekend, should we consider taking the $1000 to sit, then stand and turn 180 degrees as the abomination passes? Da wave.

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

We're not supposed to judge books by covers or focus on exterior looks, but. When he's posing, which is the norm, Trump's eyes are part of his act and are therefore unreadable to me. But when uncertain or threatened, they look remarkably like the Gilgo beach murderer's eyes. "Soulless" works for me.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child." Remember that one? After watching the latest public spanking of another nation's leader, let's call this show The Oval Woodshed. Citizens (and leaders), you don't have to participate in shows. I call for a BDS action against them. Let them sit there together.

Yesterday: Sec Rubio claimed the US isn’t “withdrawing from the world”. Also yesterday: China pledges $500m to WHO, helping to cover the budget gap from US withdrawal. As the US cedes diplomatic goodwill built over decades of humanitarian work abroad, other countries will quickly fill the void.

To a psychologist, Trump's act defines him as a case of "arrested development". An educator calls a kid like this (of any age) "dis-regulated". The street diagnosis: he never had his dick stepped on when he earned it. And you KNOW he did. Repeatedly.

Of all trumps sins, the destruction of American "soft power" constructed over 80 years is by far the most egregious. Russia had little soft power before, and they have none now. Our influence diminished, and innocent people will starve, die of disease and conflict because our help isn't forthcoming.

We saw a PBS documentary on Great/Lakes-Niagara Falls that filled us with awe. Such a joy to see otherworldly beauty that only public TV will produce. As we fight the crazy ones politically, let's keep in mind the civilizing architecture created by our parents and grands that are so at risk.

Someone came up with "Everything Trump touches dies." When he started "touching" Canada, conservatives were up by a ton. I'm elated by the results (way to go Canadian sibs), but the math has me confused. Win or loss? I think he killed the Canadian right wing. SAD.

In my world, in response to an awkward event, too much silence or just for the fun of it, we sometimes yell, "SQUIRREL!" Trump saying Columbus Day will be re-instated is another of his "SQUIRREL!" moments.

Trump says performatively, "Vladimir, stop that!" as per instructions from advisors. What an unserious man. He could change everything for Ukrainians by just providing them with resources.

Another resemblance of this administration to the soap-opera that is pro-wrestling came when Trump described the Secretary of Education as "very capable". That's what the announcer in the 1960s called the guy who was scripted to get his ass kicked. Do they still say that?

First Earth Day...festive, with speeches and some partying. Two rivers in this town, neither of which people any longer swam in. 15 years later, sitting in a tavern, an eagle flew low, downriver. A totally new thing for us, and it only took that long. I wish more of us lived then to see the growth.

Hey blueskies...things are percolating hereabouts. Keep on doing what you can. Loud ones, be loud. Funny ones, be funny. Sad ones, chin up. I have faith that we will have small d democratic, unpurchased elections in our collective lifetimes.

She was right about everything, AGAIN. Sign the petition to tell Congress to pressure Trump to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to his loved ones. Friends, the only way this works is if you repost so others can sign it as well. Hit that repost button, please. 🙏🏻 👇🏻 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
