Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

Abolish bank regulators. “Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why. How has Trump responded? By letting DOGE fire thousands of federal employees across the CDC, NIH, FDA, and the USDA who could respond to this outbreak.

I’m sorry. You can’t conduct “peace talks” with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine without Ukraine at the table.

Pre-protest Nordic ski on this very fine (but horrifying) Not My President’s Day. Went back to Tumalo Falls and wasn’t disappointed!

My two tiny acts of resistance today, downloading the HERE WeGo maps app (they still have Gulf of Mexico listed, unlike Google or Apple), and changing my search engine to DuckDuckGo. Both are brilliant alternatives. I vote with my money and my clicks.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

RFK Jr is likely to be confirmed for our nation’s top health position. Yet he has no medical education or qualifications. None. We are unable trust his opinions or decisions. What a terrible situation for America

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

One of the best trails around. I’m so glad I made it during winter. Nothing quite as beautiful as those snow capped mountains!

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.

How can I protect myself from bird flu? Avoid raw dairy products Avoid raw or under cooked meat (cook chicken to internal temp of 165°F, ground beef to 160°F, cut beef to 145°F) Avoid dead birds Report dead birds and sick or dead chickens (see links below) www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/pre...

The outdoors are 100% saving my mental health this year, if just for the fact that I can’t be scrolling if I’m skiing/hiking/snowshoeing. But also because it’s beautiful and resilient and it reminds me that I can be, too.

I'm absolutely thrilled every time I make a sale. I love to imagine people wearing my hand dyed items around, receiving compliments from friends and strangers. If I could be a fly on the wall! lonelydesertdyeco.etsy.com

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.
