Prices will go up. There will be shortages. National parks will be a mess. Air travel, based on what we're seeing in Newark, could go sideways. Measles will spread and fall COVID shots could get delayed. And the president might throw himself a big birthday parade! Widespread anger is coming.

Today I choose tranquility.

The truth

After Bezos' cowardly reversal on clear tariff pricing, all books sold by Amazon will arrive without spines.

He talked to me before I had my coffee…. I rest my case your honor

Miller, Homan, Martin, Kennedy, much of this administration is an extremist freak show. Normalizing them is profoundly dangerous and happening every day. Every story about them should detail their unfitness.

If another country cut off our supply of vaccines or unleashed contagious vaccine-preventable diseases on us, we would call it what it is: bioterrorism. Just because it’s a Kennedy doing it to us from inside the house does not change that.

What the U.S. government is doing in relation to public health is so irrational and harmful that it’s almost impossible to process it. They are lying about how vaccines are tested. They are lying about vaccines containing “aborted fetus debris”. This is public health malpractice.

You know, I got such a low feedback on my posts today, so I first decided I am tired of all of this. But then… No way. If I stop writing about Ukraine’s culture and history, and show you all of this I visit and learn, so where do you find it? Wikipedia? Your media? I won’t give up. I am Ukrainian.

I was among the people interview for this piece. Glad to see 60 Minutes standing behind it.

Morning from Kyiv! The night was as usual here. After the attack on Odesa, two people were killed and 15 more injured. I had my #warcoffee. Planning to write. A new Life Behind the Lines letter for my Patreon supporters is coming today. I have things to say and show.

We are not afraid of you, because even with the greatest seat of power, you are a spectacularly small man. We are not afraid of you because you are not worthy of our fear; because that would mean respecting you—and we do not. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo...

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

🚨 Trump’s corruption is disgusting—but let’s not forget the real enablers: the GOP in Congress who’d rather protect their power than protect the country. 📌 The GOP could rein him in, but they kiss the ring & bankroll the abuse. Cowards! Complicit to the core. Shame on them! #TheCostOfTrump

McCloud Falls, Shasta Calif. Sound on😊

We can't rest until government is restored as an instrument for the people, not our homegrown theocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs.

Not to be a Wednesday morning quarterback, but if the president is saying something not just false but stupid, it's probably a good idea to keep asking questions. (Do you know what Photoshop is? Who told you this guy had MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles? Who gave you the blown-up picture?)

To see the beauty. Not gift. We all can. The war has made my eyes more sensitive to beautiful things. I cherish them. I see them.

Morning from Kyiv! So, what had here… Drones at night, Attacks on Kharkiv and Dnipro yesterday evening. I don't see the slightest signs of peace. Victory (still a cat) is getting better. I keep having a #warcoffee and looking for something beautiful around me.

They are trying to destroy us.

100 day breakdown of absurdity. "I know these first 100 days have felt like a series of drone strikes on our collective last nerve." 💯 @thetraecrowder.bsky.social

Marjorie Taylor Greene gets her head handed back to her in a basket, when she accuses Dr. Timothy Snyder, History expert of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust, of not being aware of the facts.

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

Oh my.

Mark Carney just beat the Canadian Conservatives, shutting down Trump’s tariffs & his delusions of turning Canada into a 51st state. Looks like even Canada’s tired of Trump’s petty trade wars and megalomaniac fantasies. Guess all the threats of "absorbing" Canada didn’t work. CONGRATULATIONS CANADA!

Wishing you a peaceful week ahead..

🚨Wolves are under attack and need your help! 🚨 The House could soon vote on HR 845. The bill seeks to reinstate the Trump admin's 2020 gray wolf delisting rule + prevents judicial review. If this bill passes, wolves will be slaughtered. Call on your reps to vote NO on HR 845 ➡️ bit.ly/43UB7gG

The USFWS has announced that it killed the breeding male of the Hail Canyon pack in New Mexico. The wolf, a 5 yr old dad named Viento, was the breeding male of a family of wolves that includes Slides - the Mexican gray wolf fostered from the WCC into the wild in 2023.

This guy is just incredible. 👍😳🥰🐿️

I don't know if you've noticed, but Cory Booker has been up to the moment. Did anyone catch the rally at the Capitol building this weekend. He was inspiring (along with the others who were there.)

Was honored to join Leader Jeffries and Senator Booker for their sit-in to protest the Republican budget. This budget is an attack on Gen Z — Mike Johnson should realize that he is messing with the wrong generation.

don’t give them their freedom, because they’re not going to give you yours

Midnight soon. It is still calm in Kyiv. Victory (still a cat) and I are sending you greetings. See you in the morning.

Ok then. This momma singing so beautifully to her child
