ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Wish I could travel back two decades in time to tell myself that the guy who was then head of the Republican National Committee is now doing more to fight back against a Republican president than most Democrats.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Daniel Penney’s new employer considers the act of choking a Black man to death “courageous.” Penney’s new colleagues are “excited” by the prospect of working with him.

So has anyone been considering utilizing the Second Amendment in its actual, original, unadulterated purpose lately? Asking for a friend. Who isn’t me.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera. If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. Today, I introduced legislation with Sen. Hawley to do just that. We cannot continue to allow big banks to rip-off Americans by charging outrageously high credit card interest rates of 25 or 30%. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/b...

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”
