Happy Surrender at Appomattox Day! 160 years since Union forces accepted the surrender of the traitors attempting to destroy the country so they could keep enslaving Black people. If you're curious about the roots of out current predicament, peep our failure to hold those traitors responsible.

We are one people living on one planet. Isolationism, racism, & nationalism are backwards, regressive relics. Progress will require an evolution of consciousness. We must move forward, united in love, cherishing & protecting this miracle globe we call Earth. This is our home. This is the way.

I need to find time this week to put down 1200 words on how trade was important to the prosperity and strength of the Roman Empire and how its disruption contributed to its collapse, huh?

I respect service members, and I respect conscientious objectors. I do not, can not, respect draft dodgers, but my sheerest scorn is for chicken hawks. His politics are beside the point.

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

My context for Rolla, Missouri, is that it's the hometown of a seminary classmate who got married, had five kids, and then swam the Tiber for the usual reasons. Glad to have that mental image unsettled by this news!

A federal judge has ordered the White House to reinstate The Associated Press’s access to smaller events—such as those held in the Oval Office and aboard Air Force One—after Trump barred the news organization.

Last night by chance I came across a bank statement from spring 1981, when my family got evicted from our house. I was 12. So much desperation on 1 page. Looks like a kited check, returned check and service charges, and repeating negative balances. My heart goes out to people on the edge right now.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

I don’t think people have fully grasped that you can get measles from walking through the same room as someone who has it hours later. Most contagious disease we know.

The Educational Choice for Children Act is a $100 BILLION voucher scheme that drains public funds to private schools, harming rural education while benefiting selective institutions. Rep. Newhouse sits on the Appropriations Committee. Call and demand the removal of the ECCA voucher program!

We’re updating our lawsuit tracker against the Trump administration! Yesterday, AG Nick Brown joined 23 other states to sue the Trump admin. for abruptly canceling $11 BILLION in public health grants—costing WA nearly $160 MILLION. Thank you, AG Nick Brown, for fighting back!

I've also thought so. Too much talk to repentance and not enough about welcoming. Or, if you spend your time doing good, you don't have time to do bad.

The Trump administration just slashed funding for the Local Food for Schools program, taking fresh, healthy meals off students’ plates. Another GOP cut that won’t “Make America Healthy Again.”

Trump is stripping hundreds of thousands of federal workers of their union rights—calling it 'national security' while exempting those who supported him. He rewards loyalty and silences those who don’t. Because that’s what authoritarians do.

Donald Trump doesn’t hire on merit he hires only based on loyalty. He does not give a fuck if you suck at your job. All he cares about his having people loyal to him and it puts our nation in grave danger

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

I am against early death as a thing, but would not be adverse to him going away and not coming back. Russia, maybe? Work a mine in South Africa?

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public
