My late husband had Esophageal Cancer. He was 44 when diagnosed and at the height of fitness and health, otherwise. The treatment was absolutely brutal yet the disease progressed aggressively. This was not the time for an honorary political assignment, yet here we are.

"When an authoritarian tells you he’s going to do something, believe him. Each outlandish statement is a trial balloon, one step closer to action. And when people don’t push back...the boundaries...permanently shift." Vital piece:

Rümeysa & Mahmoud’s kidnappings aren’t an anomaly—they're the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties. Silencing dissent is unlawful, unjust, and authoritarian through and through. And we will not allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/22/n...

Mahmoud Khalil. Rumeysa Ozturk. Yunseo Chung. Trump is going after people who are in the U.S. legally just because he disagrees with what they’re saying. That should terrify every single one of us. If he can do it to them, he can do it to you, too.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Sigh, this is why we need DEI. Pete Hegseth tattoos Kaafir in Arabic on his arm, which means one who rejects faith and God, right under Deus Vult, which is Latin for "God wills it." An amazing self-own. Also, this dude hates Muslims. He allegedly said, "Kill All Muslims" years ago while drunk.

Worth pointing out that Trump's CIA director John Ratcliffe, who was in the Signal group chat, and who ludicrously tried to defend it in Congress this week, was confirmed with the votes of 21 (!) Senate Democrats. Ridiculous.

A leading Israeli news site quotes Netanyahu telling his top general, 2 days after Oct 7, to ‘take down houses, bomb with everything you have.’ An admission of war crimes from the horse’s mouth. Let’s see how the hasbarists try spin this. www.ynet.co.il/yedioth/arti...

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.
