Posters up at the Kennedy Center. These posters look exactly like posters I saw of current autocrats in Managua, Moscow, Minsk . . . There’s a love affair with the mirror & their image that dictators have. Mussolini & Hitler were notorious for plastering their images everywhere.

I live in Andy Barr’s 6th congressional district in the glorious state of KY. We visited our Congressman’s office 2day to voice MANY worries, as good opposition activists should. When asked why the congressman hadn’t held a town hall since 2017 we were told that the House sergeant-at -arms. . .

A number of descriptors come to mine. I’ll just go with pathetic and petty.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Maybe the VP will feel for those many 3-year-olds in Ukraine, scared every night with the sounds of war? Jumping every time there’s a loud bang? Crying after the nightmares? Staring thru bullet holed walls? Nah, you’re probably right. That would be empathy, right? So out of fashion now. Ask Elon.

Now do start your week, your day thinking, “what s**t did he say (or do) over the weekend?” Then your next thought is “Good Lordy, what do we face this week?” It’ll be another long week. Actions are essential. So is recharging. Self-care is resistance. So what’s your self-care plan this week?

I agree the VP’s daughter is off limits for protesters. But JD calling protester/s a “shit person”? Look in the mirror, Vance. A “shit person” lies about Pres Zelenskyy repeatedly thanking America. A shit person picks a fight in front of cameras & his boss to make points. See the difference?

Bluegrass sisters & brothers! While 18 Attorney Generals are suing the Trump administration, our KY AG is doing all he can to carry out Trump‘s EOs. Even inviting DOGE to KY. It would be terrible if we let AG Coleman Russell know what we think about that. Such bad behavior on our part.

The Don says the tariffs are about stopping fentanyl & undocumented immigrants. Obviously it’s not since he imposes, then stops them in 24 or 36 hours. He’s done this twice. So what’s it really about? Think we got this one figured out.

26,000+photos & educational posts slated to be purged at across the Dept of Defense. A WWII aircraft photo because it had “gay” in its name?! Images of the first women military pioneers? Erasing fact-based history. You can’t make this insane shit up.

The U.S. House of Representatives votes to censure Rep. Al Green for his peaceful protest Tuesday night at The Don’s address to Congress. Where was the censure when Marjorie Taylor Greene & Lauren Boebert heckled Biden? Can I say racism? Party bias? Double standard? But not surprised, right?

My heart hurts thinking about today’s (certain) leaders who are the inspiration for our young people versus the leaders I watched. "If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.” - John F. Kennedy, American University 06/10/63.

arguing about what sort of reaction Ds had to speech is stupid, irrelevant and counterproductive. the message is clear: Ds are only ones against Mr. Crazy Pants. Now get out and organize, demand town halls (even if Rs don't show), keep on Rs case (espec Collins, Tillis in Sen)

Hegseth pauses Russia counter-propaganda & cybersecurity plans. Letting fake news reign while WH & GOP amplify Kremlin talking points. 1956 Khrushchev: “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.” Took them 69 years but success.

NCAA verified that about 510,000 athletes are in their programs; 10 or less are trans. Seems like a waste of public resources to issue an EO. A more serious problem is sexual assault by straight male athletes (22% female athletes report assaults). But don’t expect an EO to address that.

All I got after today. And after the Executive Orders have begun. It’s the best I can do right now.

In my lifetime it was Dr. King. It was President Carter. It was Mother Theresa. And others. It’s heartbreaking that today someone was inaugurated to the highest office in our nation & that young people here and around the world will think he’s an example of public service and leadership.
