Donald Trump and Elon Musk have made our farmers and families collateral damage in an idiotic trade war. They're taking money out of their pockets and food out of their mouths — and for what? I'm with the hard-working folks at Sola Gratia to hear how we can support them.

I’m at the Center for American Progress event featuring Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and this sure does sound like a fighter who’s fully prepared to step up and lead. For the first time in weeks, I feel better about the future of the country. @americanprogress.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov

It’s not like anybody needs me to say this, but federal District Court judges sure do seem to have more guts than every single GOP member of Congress, don’t they?

My brain literally cannot comprehend all of the bad stuff that just happened today so instead: scholastic book fair now has online wallets that you can use for your kiddos at the book fair- but also, you can donate to “share the fair” so others w/o can get books.

I thought, go into 2025 with a good attitude, in spite of Agent Orange, I'll figure it out but I won't let that person or his band of criminals keep me in a bad mood, upset, cause more anxiety attacks than I already have, etc. Then I realize I'm living with the real problem and I have no way out.

Watch this inspirational call to action for us all 🔥 “What we need right now is for everyone to stand up and have courage. We need everyone to stand up and say, ‘I am not going to back down to this bully.’ We need people to be warriors for democracy.” @marcelias.bsky.social

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us." -- Carl Sagan, who died #OTD 1996

Here's the problem: Instead of one idiot, we have two. Two idiots on the world stage, wreaking havoc at home and abroad. And people all over the world looking at us like we're a bunch of nitwits for doing this not once, but TWICE. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we were nuked.

The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

F&%king everything is f&%ked, especially everything that f&%king humans are doing to this planet. I have a level of anxiety today that is not consistent with kindness.

Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state, the US should consider becoming an 11th province. Americans would get universal healthcare, parental leave, sensible gun control and fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
