I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

1400 more firings at Veterans Affairs: "Officials said specifically that Veterans Crisis Line responders were not affected by the dismissals. But workers within the department said that support staff for the crisis line were among the workers let go..." www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

My friend Rachel has been a park ranger for the twenty years I've known her. Worked at a lot of them, including Yosemite. Ray shattered her leg rescuing a hiker who'd fallen onto a ledge during a hike gone wrong. The recovery was long and painful. The hiker lived. These people deserve protecting.

If you are looking to do your part in saving democracy, I highly recommend you buy and read ONE book: Howard Zinn’s a People’s History of America. It’s a MUST read. It’s not for the faint of heart, but we are at war for the soul of this nation & you have to be hardened to face the fight READ IT!

The week in review:

Obama knew

Elon’s own AI says that he is the biggest propagator of this disinformation on X.

Sharing some positive thoughts. 🫖

"February 28, the 24-hour economic blackout: no Amazon, no Walmart, no fast food, no gas, not a single unnecessary dollar spent.” I’m in, and I’m going to ask my friends and family to participate. Next Friday, just 1 day, no spending, will send a powerful message. ✊ www.cbsnews.com/news/economi...

I've been reading exclusively Black American writers for US Black History Month and wanted to share some all-time favourites from US/CAN authors Perfect to pick up now or anytime, these stories and authors are to be read year-round #BookSky

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site? Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.

This is resistance.

DOGE = Damaging Our aGricultural Environment 😡😡 1/8

5 things I did last week Musk 1. Successfully asked you to rehire 300 nuclear & avian flu workers you “accidentally” fired 2. Pressed you to pay attention to rising household costs 3. Stood up for vets 4. Fought against your tax cuts for the rich 5. Stood with 🇺🇦 instead of🇷🇺

Ooh, I know: the Black guy and the woman. Not qwhite sure why, though.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

From United Humanists on FB

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

Illinois Governor Pritzker compares Trump to the Nazis Great speech. I think we just found the leader of the resistance.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

BREAKING: Massive protest rallies are happening today across the country, blasting DOGE and the guy that nobody voted for. There will even be a protest at SpaceX headquarters. SPREAD THE WORD. 🙏💪

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who is thoroughly inspired to see the thousands of fired-up Americans who turned out IN EVERY STATE to protest the insane trump executive orders, firings, and policies he's pushing. LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!🙏💪

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
