Sorry, but the answer is no until they figure out how to get Chuck Schumer out of leadership. New blood or no vote. It's not that friggin' hard!

Exactly right, and exactly why the Democratic Party is held in such low esteem right now. Gutless never works.

Lowlife bully cowards. There are shitty jobs, then there's ICE. How they can live with themselves I'll never understand. No morals, unscrupulous, disgusting excuses for human beings. Parents want their kids near. How to protect during such cruelty? Boiling over!

Rack up another enshitification accomplished by Trump. King Crap, all the way.

There is a federal investment manager called Thrift Savings Plan. TSP runs at very low overhead, meaning their fees are small. Make these accounts run through TSP, not Wall Street.
Totally agree with your take on the scam.

Slow yer roll there, Uncle. Veterans defend GIs. The boneheads at the top, not so much. In this case, the California Adjutant General deserves some strict scrutiny of his compliance with Trump's illegal order. Don't blame the poor schmucks doing what they're told.

Tacos - nice touch. Not the state, though. Ordinary citizens.

Keep in mind that these guys could be sleeping in their beds but for the illegal deployment ordered by Trump. They're probably Title 10 members but will soon be backfilled by Title 32 - traditional weekend warriors. They really won't like this.

Everybody dealing with Trump comes out covered in Kayfabe caca.

David, you should be ashamed of your participation in the degradation. Your soft shoe apologetics helped bring this shit to life. If you want to clean your soul, you need to be a little introspective. OK, a lot more.

I can see what ABC is trying to do - claim anti-bias. And yet, Fox News has idiots like Gutfeld and Waters that spew anti-factual bias for their paycheck. ABC, shame on you. You can't go wrong with free speech. Don't comply in advance.

Every soldier knows they should not obey illegal orders, but not one knows what that is. There is zero training. 23 year vet, recent retiree.

At some point we need to call, and perform, a general strike. Shut this shit down.

Take a bleed kit, even if you don't know how to use it. Take bottled water. Wear a mask. Wear full length clothing and boots. Wear a helmet. Wear knee pads. Write blood type on outer clothing. Try to de-escalate, but know your rights.

Their flag looks a lot like the 3%er logo. These nuts are practicing their military tactics while ICE is arresting busboys, cooks, and garment workers. Here's an idea - focus on the Nazis. They don't mean well and don't work for a living.

Now you get shot for taking pictures? This is not law enforcement.

I don't trust Republicans half as far as I could throw the lot of them. That said, what exactly is the problem with this legislation. I read through it and the problem doesn't leap out. Does it have to do with producing birth certs to register in states? Are there ways to mitigate the problems?

Thanks for the post but it's behind the paywall and I won't pay.

I'm a '58 kid too. Protesting all the time in redneck CA. We get coal smoked by the Trumpinistas here. We had our biggest protest of all time yesterday. Earth Day should be huge. Glad you're out fighting the fight.

The hundreds of thousands of government employees laid off or fired are a new load on the existing job base. That job base won't and can't absorb that many people. Add to that the econ slowdown forced by the tariffs and we're headed for a massive unemployment disaster.

I'm a 66 year old new public school teacher. 4th or 5th career change. I'm scrambling to write 2 years of daily lesson plans for a new drone aviation program I'm launching. I throw disc golf almost daily, am remodeling two houses (gradually), and can't sleep more than 5 hours for some reason.

Yea, but the guy replacing him might be orders of magnitude worse. JDV as pres is horrifying. Following the succession chart down is depressing. What a mess.

If Trump gets his tariff tax system, I'm giving myself an oligarch style tax cut: I'm not buying anything but groceries for the duration of the fascist foray. Defund the fascists.

There's a documentary I recently got to screen (not sure when/where it will release) called "Hopeville," by a dyslexic director investigating better ways to start kids reading. I wish everyone could see it and start teaching reading in a better way.

But DJT JR didn't claim it's antisemitic. We're only half wrong to be concerned.

LeVar Burton for Secretary of Education (in the next administration).
Have you seen the documentary "Hopeville"? It's about the reintroduction of phonics based reading in first grade. We've gotta do this everywhere.

I teach in a high school. Several of my students can't functionally read. They hate trying.
We went through a period of "whole word" reading instruction. Students with any species of dyslexia struggle with this method, and everybody has to just memorize all the weird spelling issues in English.
