Trump is after our national forests. I may have a thing or two to say about that... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When the FBI searched Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown's home, they discovered illegal grenades, a sawed-off shotgun and classified information he retained after leaving the army. Today, DOJ says Donald Trump's pardon for J6 issues covers all of that.

We have no kings in America. We only have traitors...

Let's be perfectly clear here: the people who could actually stop the administrative coup of the U.S. government are any given half dozen Republican senators and representatives, if they had any courage at all.

This is extremely gross.

This nice young woman just provided every Democrat running for office with their campaign slogan. Seriously. Use it.

President's Day rallies

The Washington Post is trash.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

So let's see. 7 plane accidents since Trump declared our airways safer. Bird flu? Stopped tracking it. Measles? Outbreaks. Cancer research? Cut. Health and Safety? Apparently cancelled...

"If Trump is denying access to outlets that refuse to lick his boots, then any media outlet that has access is compromised. Journalists who want to be worthy of the name have a moral obligation to follow the AP’s example in enraging the toddler in chief."

Dove into a comment thread on local news about Shapiro suing Trump over release of funds. The right is completely lost in their own pool of mis-information controlled by billionaires. They think Shapiro was involved in the Butler assassination attempt and don't know that Congress appropriates funds.

Ah me, how times change

Absolute wealth corrupts absolutely. Ban billionaires!

Here's the acting head of FEMA just unliterally deciding that Article I is fake earlier today. The Constitution is not in effect.

Judge Kollar-Kotelly seems prepared to block Musk's two DOGE allies detailed to Treasury from sharing any Treasury records with Musk or others outside the department. She wants a filing from DOJ by tonight to see if the government will agree to that plan.

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care. Big counter salvo!

If there is one thing I've learned from recent events, it is that the United States needs a salary cap. Nobody ever should be able to be as rich as Musk or Bezos. It breeds corruption!

Our entire society is built around the idea that white men should be coddled and hand held. That is why they are so entitled and so threatened by DEI programs that allow other qualified candidates to have opportunities.

🚨BREAKING: Alliance for Retired Americans and two labor unions file lawsuit against Treasury Dept. to block disclosure of personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE. Follow @democracydocket.com for details on this and every pro-democracy lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com

This is a coup. We’re going to need a slate of new anti-corruption laws to prevent this from ever happening again.

from tonight’s protest in Manhattan over NYU Langone’s choice to preemptively comply with Trump’s executive order impacting healthcare for trans youth under 19

I really hope Democratic lawmakers took notice of the actions of Sen. Schatz, Sen. Kim, and others today and observed how quickly they were celebrated by millions of voters. This is not about getting the response 100% right or knowing exactly what the plan should be. It's about making an effort.

chappell talking about trans rights at the #grammys 🫂🏳️‍⚧️

nazi trumps eff off! that is all.

Canada responds. A needless, damaging trade war that is entirely the United States' -- Trump's -- fault.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care. The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care. This one at UVA Hospital.

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB". The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

Make no mistake, Trump and Musk are trying to destroy this country. And they are doing it very aggressively. We must not cooperate, comply, or in any way accept this as ok.

Don't comply in advance. Come to that, simply refuse to comply. At all.

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

The GOP wants to spend a trillion dollars on deportations. While also insisting we have to cut Medicaid and food stamps to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Just a reminder that executive orders are NOT laws. Laws are passed by Congress, or by state legislatures. Executive orders aren't ruled either. Rules are issued by agencies after rulemaking processes, typically things like "notice and comment." Consult a lawyer before you comply in advance.

Watching RFK Jr hearing: "Americans cannot afford to import this experiment," says @wyden.senate.gov in his opening statement, re Kennedy's egregious involvement in the Samoa measles outbreak. He goes on to discuss Kennedy being wishy-washing on abortion medication. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

RFK Jr noting, correctly, that Americans pay more for worse health outcomes than other OECD nations. Apparently this is because we're vaccinating for measles as opposed to because they have socialized medicine.

A bit last minute but our January themed board gaming video is up! We pick 3 themes for the month and board games that would work for a themed game day around those themes. youtu.be/_f-eLhhtOQc

Moroccan Activist Ismail Lghazaoui Sentenced to One Year in Prison for Peaceful Pro-Palestinian Advocacy @progintl.bsky.social @bdsmovement.bsky.social #Morocco

Police in Alabama shot and killed a 16-year-old boy in his own home during a no-knock raid in the middle of the night. Body camera footage allegedly shows Randall Adjessom raising his hands and backing away just before an officer opened fire. RIP

We have really enjoyed this Christmas Movie themed card game. It's on sale today... www.amazon.com/Christmas-Mo...

Yes, the conservatives are sucky losers. But also Biden failed us by not acting to expand SCOTUS 4 years ago when he had majorities. We literally saw all of this coming...

BREAKING: A measure to ban trans Representative Zooey Zephyr from using women's restrooms has FAILED to pass Montana's House Rules committee, with several Republicans voting against it.

First they came for the trans people, and The NY Times and Washington Post joined in on the hunt…

Disabled for the last few years I had to give up my radio dj gig. We kept up a blog a bit, but now I've started posting mixes. Here is my first mix.... www.radioshower.com/2024/11/jayn...
