I do wonder when the utter disregard for our Constitution, laws, national security, planet, economy, allies, humanity, schools, civil rights, etc. will finally reach a breaking point for the Trump cultists.

A felon who uses his power to pardon other felons, most recently @michelefiore.

In the (highly unlikely) event that Hegseth resigns or is fired, his term in office will have exceeded 5 scaramuccis.

Pet Peeve: "documentaries" that are vague about switching to re-enactments or CGI, etc. Please just give it to me straight!

The Pandemic Psalm: Yea, though I walk through the lobby of Los Angeles International Airport, I will fear no Coronavirus, for the CDC art with me, my face mask and my nitrile gloves, they comfort me.

One could get a bad case of whiplash watching felon47 flip flopping on tariffs.

Which is more of a threat to our health, our planet's health and our civilization.......globalization or privatization?

The most horrifying photo of the week. From CPAC.

Long live the king?

Caption Contest. I'll start: "You're not the President."

Spot on.

Time for a little liquid courage.

Precisely.

Watching this coup play out in Washington DC evokes the events of 9/11. youtu.be/8TexFDMtomU?...

Welcome to the U.S.S.A., The United States of Subjugated Americans.

"Take ownership" sounds like "steal" to me.

Henceforth, Elon Musk will be known exclusively as Muskkkolini in our household.

The New York Times, winner of 132 Pulitzer Prizes since 1918, is being pushed out of the White House press room and replaced with the NY Post. There is a First Amendment issue here, IMHO, and I hope they sue! Also, Politico, NPR and NBC News.

Soon to be known as The McKinley??

The most ironic photo this month.

Bought your copy of "Russian for Dummies" yet?

Silly me! Who could've predicted that tRump would roll back civil rights that were enshrined when I was 6 years old? What to know about the equal employment opportunity executive order Trump revoked search.app/GxVUB3EskSmz...

In a day filled with WTF moments, this is perhaps the most appalling.

ADL: Never again* *conditions may apply

If you haven't already done so, today would be a great day to cancel contracts with some big corporations. For example: Amazon Prime, AT&T, Spotify, LATimes, Arrowhead Water, and Uber are a few that I've severed ties with in the last year.

Thank you, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Special nod to Pete Buttigieg.

Do we need more "storytelling" from our news media? Once upon a time we relied on WaPo to shed light into our dark corners. The Washington Post’s New Mission: Reach ‘All of America’ - The New York Times search.app/R7JQ8rh9MiGv...

My WTF moment for today: I went to use a recently purchased "smart plug" power strip and discovered that it *requires* the downloading of an app in order to function at all. Oh, hell no!

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.
