"When you're afraid of losing something, what you do is take care of it even more...protect it, defend it." - Bad Bunny

His speech's theme tonight: 'The Renewal of the American Dream'. It should be called 'The Continuation of the American Nightmare'.

My call script to Congr Repubs: Sen./Congr(wo)man _: Shame on you for kowtowing to Trump & Musk & not speaking out about their unchristian, undemocratic & unconstitutional actions! Thru your silence you are complicit in the downfall of decency & democracy & the rise of cruelty & authoritarianism!

Trump/Vance/Glenn: Shame on you, you grievance-filled bastards, for mocking & attempting to extort Pres. Zelenskyy today! He's fighting to save his country and the lives of his countrymen & you're crying about his clothes. Have you ever served a day in battle, you priveleged, whiney-assed Fascists?

MAGAt regrets... www.facebook.com/share/r/1Bkz...

From someone who has spent A LOT of time with him and wrote his biography. THIS is the mentally ill person who is trying to dismantle our democracy. www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bck...

Federal Workers: Proceed With Caution. Remember Trump's history of stiffing people he owes money to?

DO NOT RESIGN, FEDERAL WORKERS. STAND STRONG!

Time for all tech-savvy people who care about democracy, the rule of law & decency to mobilize to thwart the coup perpetrators.

Been leaving these on the windshield of every Tesla I come across on my daily dog walks. Lots of potential 'customers' here in Boulder. Gotta be a little careful not to set off the car's motion sensor camera, though.😉

Stand strong today, federal employees, for your rights, your jobs, your dignity and your democracy. one.npr.org?sharedMediaI...

There's gotta be at least a couple of true patriots guarding those federal buildings who are willing to stand up to the marauders and protect our democracy, one would think.

There's gotta be at least one brilliant hacker out there in the world who can disable Musk's and his goons' phones, emails, computers, etc., right?

What if Musk is an agent of the Russian and/or Chinese governments?

Canada has begun ceasing purchases of goods from red states. We should do the same: stop flying to/vacationing in those states, stop purchasing products made in those states, etc.

Here's a gem from the mid-70s etched upon my early childhood brain. Remember the streaking craze? I say we ought to bring it back en masse for Pres. Dumpsterfire public events. That'll be sure to take the attention off him.😉 youtube.com/watch?v=9qWu...

Since you're getting rid of DEI, how about getting rid of nepotism- & loyalty-based hiring as well? They're not merit-based either, right?

Question: Why does T(rump) continue to allow the 'fake news media' into these press briefings? Answer: because he needs their attention, and they are important to helping him disseminate his propaganda. apnews.com/article/trum...

Disgusting. This man served our country honorably for decades. Not many have a stronger record than his. Trump Chump Hegseth ordered this and is looking into potentially demoting him post-retirement. Why? Because Milley exercised his First Amendment right and challenged T(rump).

Dear Trump/DOGE: Just how much will it cost the US Gvt/we taxpayers to round up and deport all those 'violent criminal' illegal residents?

Hmmm...let's see. Why would he want to fire these independent agency watchdogs? Maybe because he doesn't want anyone standing in the way of his doing whatever the hell he wants with said agencies? apnews.com/article/trum...

What a weak and pitiful response from Republican 'leadership'. apnews.com/article/trum...

Question: Does anyone ever dispute the results of an NFL game after the game is over? Answer: No. We saw the game with our own eyes. The facts of the game were what they were. It's called sportsmanship/being a good sport. Certain politicians could learn something from sports.

Yes, Musk is a Nazi. www.wishtv.com/news/interna...
