Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

hitler’s final solution was to identify dissidents, protestors, political rivals & so-called inferior races, then build work camps to house & eventually murder the prisoners. Even if similarities between the & now aren’t totally aligned, history is warning us to beware. We really should listen.

Isn’t it odd that we find ourselves in the same position in 2025 that our parents and grandparents were in decades ago.

Childhood disease before vaccination is why we don't have a word for a parent who's buried a child. An orphan is defined by lack of parents, a widow by lack of husband, but before vaccines, almost every adult of childbearing age had buried at least one baby, if not more.

#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth The DOJ has decided that Trump can eliminate national monuments. The Antiquities Act gives the president the authority to create monuments, but I don't think it gives Trump the power to reverse previous designations. insideclimatenews.org/news/1106202...

I’m proud to say my Dad was an early provider of dental services to the striking grape pickers in Delano, 1965. At age 10, I went with him as he performed heavy oral surgery & jaw rebuilds, often without anesthesia due to lack of funding. 1/2
