Been there, done that, from NY to LA and SF. Now living in rural Montana with a kelpie and corgi, plus three horses. I keep up with what's happening but am selective about social media--meaning not X or FB. Interesting points of view welcome.

Nearly 40 protesters gathered in Bozeman, saying they're frustrated in their efforts to contact Congressman Ryan Zinke and concerned about the impact of federal layoffs. #MTPol www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnWZ...

If you're not offended by this, don't call yourself an American.

I didn't think I could possibly be any more angry. But then I learned that, while Musk's meatheads are willy-nilly firing thousands of government employees to keep America from going broke, he's taking the week off to play golf. Honestly, you can't make this shit up!

Showed up late to the Public Lands Rally at the MT capitol and there is zero room to stand in the rotunda #mtleg #mtpol

Loved this book when I read it--both times! I had no idea how relevant it was going to be, now that Trump has been re-elected. Do yourself a favor and get a copy. Lewis has a new book, similar subject, coming out in March--Who Is Government?: The Untold Story of Public Service.

For my Montana friends, here are some phone numbers: Daines - 202-224-2651 Sheehy - 202-224-2644 Zinke - 202-225-5628 Call them every day and ask why they're allowing this travesty to go on. Elon's muskrats have no business deciding who gets fired or defunded. And they need to act NOW!!

Who gave Elon's brats the authority to fire *anyone*?? And why are Americans, by and large, sitting by and watching it happen? If you can't tell, I'm spitting mad. And every other reasonable person should be, too. Call your senators and House rep. Call every day, and show up where you can.

Not just no. Hell, no! Trump has let Musk and the kids loose to slash and burn payments that Congress has approved, to establish an austerity program in America. And he wants his goddamned new jet NOW or else buy a luxury jet and refit it to be AF1. Outrageous. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

I know I'm late to the party, but I can't help saying it. While Musk and his boy band are slashing and burning what they consider "needless expenses," Trump is jonesing to get his new plane. That's what he cares about. Republican voters, you did this.

The word "save" is doing a lot of work for them. How do we know that the elimination of jobs or contracts isn't going to increase the cost exponentially instead, when we have to fix what they break? Hm?? Anyone want to guess?
