This is an exclusive story from Rolling Stone, but I think you have to have a subscription or access through Apple News or someplace else. Anyway, it's a very interesting and disturbing story that should scare all of us. "New DOGE Staffer Has Ties to a Sanctioned Russian Oligarch"

Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof." No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity. He quietly changed lives❤️

People who say “it won’t matter”, or “nothing ever changes”, or “there’s nothing I can do” are just looking for an excuse to do nothing. Don’t be one of those people. Do something small every day. It might seem insignificant, but it adds up, especially when millions of us are doing small things.

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

This is the dance. Accuse an agency of being inefficient or corrupt. Cut employees and needed contracts. Cause it to fail more than kill the whole thing. USAID and CFPB are just the start.

MAGA wants to cut special education, job training, and college aid so the ultra-rich can buy another yacht. This will hurt millions of kids. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & ask them to reject cuts to the Department of Education. #DontDefundPublicSchools social.demcast.com/s/At3i0b6M

The only allies we will have left are Autocrats and Dictators. The bad part? The MAGA cult doesn't understand how tariffs work. Ugh! I will read a book for a bit to save my sanity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today, I took several breaks from genealogy projects to read some news. It gets worse every time I look, and I've only read The Guardian! Someone get the crayons out and draw pictures to explain to the idiot-in-chief why trees are important for sustaining life! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Combover Caligula emboldens oppressive governments. It's the MAGA cult that loves the idea of squashing civil and human rights so much they're legislating it and proudly speaking their hate of anyone not white, straight, or Christian out loud. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/mar...

Another Foxconn scenario? That worked out well for WI. 😠 Does the Trump cult understand that these supposed jobs won't be available for years? No, they don't. It would be great if it worked out, but it's not an instant fix. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Except for the dictators that own Trump, today's leaders of democracies of the world accept the reality and they've had enough of bullying and incompetence. They remember the first term and can see the second will be worse, and this administration is not to be trusted, admired, or respected.

Great read! I have PTSD, Panic Disorder, and GAD but I'm usually surprisingly okay (according to my family doc). Since November 5, I have NOT been okay. I try to take days off from news, but I can't stand to be uninformed. This helped a bit. www.alternet.org/dr-richard-f...

Suppose MAGA commentators have these binders, at the White House, before lawmakers or the public have the info. In that case, it's been heavily redacted to shield Combover Caligula and any member of the GQP or the current Oligarchy bros. apnews.com/article/jeff...
