A ‘Citizen Lawyer’ Gets a Standing Ovation at the Supreme Court www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/u...

Powerful commentary from David Brooks on the actions of the judge in Wisconsin. Perhaps illegal, yet also definitely heroic, and it is the heroism through nonviolent protest that will win the day against autocracy. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Gov. Josh Shapiro: Finding Moral Clarity After an Arsonist’s Attack www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/o...

From todays Sunday NYTimes - please share 👍

And another good read - so important to see how people in many republican leaning districts are responding to cuts and changes that affect them - need to support these folks and encourage them to speak out and find leaders who truly want to listen and represent them 🤝 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

Good read: www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Important to read this and deepen our understanding of the damage Musk and Trump are wreaking. Dems need to stay united and not let Musk & Trumps actions cause internal Dem bickering to fester. Musk and Trump are the leaders of the damage not individual Democrats. www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-...

Government is not more successful when you treat people poorly and neither are businesses! That is a false argument that autocrats and oligarchs like to present to justify their actions - but its NOT TRUE! alexedmans.com/wp-content/u....

Let your Senators know you are proud of them for taking a stand on the budget resolution put forward by the House! This is an important first step to stopping Musk's illegal, immoral and unethical purge of the Federal government. Call the Capitol Switchboard 1-202-224-3121 or send an email!

The fundamental strength of any civilization is empathy, an ability to see humanity in others and support the development and growth of that humanity. Capitalism is one of many economic systems in use throughout the world. It succeeds best when overlain with empathy and fails without empathy.

I think Putin must have 'Kompromat" on tRump that he fears so deeply - and now so many people are suffering - to what end? Putin will be dead in the next 10-20 years, tRump will be dead in the next 5-10 years - both from natural causes - and what legacy will they have left - they are both a disaster

From todays NYTimes! Glad to see some Republicans calling out for better leadership. Thank you to these two 👍 Now where are the rest of them? Its time to take a STAND!!!

Thank You Brittany Pettersen!!

Call the US Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121. Ask for one of the Republicans below, up for re-election in 2026. When you reach the office ask them to oppose the budget bill in the House as too drastic. You do not need to be from their district to get through. www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/targeting-...

In the United States we still live in a representative democracy and we need to use our representation in the House and Senate to the fullest to represent our views of this American democracy. Let your reps know they work for you, and let them know your thoughts and concerns. We all need to do this!

I encourage people to watch this documentary and gain hope that through persistent protest and action change can and will happen. We are facing our own 'Madman" moment now! www.movementandthemadman.com

The Republican party needs to switch mascots. They are now the 'head in the sand' party and need an Ostrich as their mascot. Apologies to all Ostriches.

beautiful morning up here, sending prayers to southern California
