I can’t protest tomorrow, because I have work, but I did send a donation to Democracy Forward this week democracyforward.org/about/

KMOX reported there were 150+ protests at post office across the country!

These folks planned for this fight and are winning. #bigdamnheroes www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

My brother’s union called for a day of action to support USPS in the face of DOGE, so we froze our butts off in downtown St. Louis this morning.

HE IS THE KHAN BECAUSE HE IS THE CHOSEN OF TENGRI THE SKIES PART IN HIS PRESENCE AND THE VERY GRASS BOWS BEFORE HIS STEED PRITZKER WILL PLANT HIS SPEAR NEXT TO THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL AND TAKE HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE UPON THE THRONE OF THE AMERICAS

Wolverines!

It's not a scare tactic to use the word. It's descriptive.

The last time we tried to annex Canada, things went badly. I really would prefer not to get into a war with Canada. All of our NATO allies are bound to defend them by treaty

jesus christ, fuck you, man

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

It’s snowing, but we have some Cardinals for company

Hope is not audacious but kindness certainly is. We now live in times where treating people who are different with decency is an act of quiet rebellion. Keep rebelling. The world is a big place and we all deserve a decent life in it.

Called Congressman Bost this morning to complain about US AID. Cutting food aid is very bad for Illinois farmers. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

"We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government ... follow the law. It is part of the oath we took when we became lawyers. Whatever your political party or your views, change must be made in the right way. Americans expect no less." www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Alison Durkee at Forbes is keeping track of all the lawsuits. It’s pretty encouraging how much traction we’re getting in the early stages of litigation. www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

My morning call to Rep. Mike Bost’s office: I asked that NIH grants be restored for all current grants, that the budgets be reviewed over a longer period of time, and grantees be given enough time to adjust if the Trump Administration wants to continue cut their budgets.

The CDC is keeping a very close eye on the current outbreak of bird flu in the US. If it starts spreading human-to-human, it's very dangerous. It's current mortality rate is 50%. This is not the time to fire people at the CDC. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

“Love Hurts” is dumb, but very fun. If you love 80’s Jackie Chan movies, you’ll have fun with this

I called my MAGA congressman this morning and yelled at him about US AID. I focused on it as defunding Christian missions and Christian agencies. time.com/7212791/usai...

We have to fight like hell, but they’re already losing. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

There was a pro-immigration protest in St. Louis today.

This is going to do terrible things to my grocery bill. We eat a lot of imported vegetables from Mexico: tomatoes, avocados, bell peppers, cucumbers… www.theverge.com/policy/60393...

The Trump administration is going to mess with financial aid in order to force colleges to fall in line ideologically. My family is capable of funding tuition on our own if we have to, but not everyone is so lucky. I was a Pell Grant and loans student myself. abcnews.go.com/US/white-hou...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Every once in awhile Josh Hawley does something useful. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/b...
