Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Let’s remember King’s 4 Steps of a non-violent resistance campaign: 1) Collection of the facts; 2) Negotiation, (if possible); 3) Self-Purification; and 4) Direct Action (which means we physically put our bodies into it. We GO to the protest, march, sing, chant;we demand answers from politicians.

People. Have. The. Power—unless they give it away. Direct, non-violent action is required. That means we put our body into it. We GO to the protest, town hall, etc. and let our voices be heard and our solidarity felt (King).

And Tennessee’s Marsha Blackburn hasn’t had one in . . .how long? Methinks I smell a rat insofar as her re-election is concerned.

“People have to power to wrestle the world from fools” (P.Smith),and world history tells us that they’re fully capable of marshaling that power when pushed too far. Looks like ‘too far’ has come rather quickly—good. Had Trump been capable of intelligent strategizing it would have taken much longer.

Exactly!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

He nails it.

That brain worm has cleaned its plate.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

We need to remember what we’re capable of. Every day let your mind be blown by something you do, read, listen to, or create. That is one way we get through this—to remain open to everything that is wondrous in the world. www.marytrump.org/p/what-it-co...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Dear God. The cruelty is the point.

The cruelty is the point.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

Cruelty is the point.

I understand! I might struggle to get out of the house with my gym bag, but once I hit the water, I’m in heaven. I’m thanking God for all my blessings. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

NO!!!!! What can we do? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

YES!!!
