This is horrifying.

It helps when leaders stand for SOMETHING. My thoughts:

Here is example of the type of essay polymath Kareem gifts us with. The diversity of his interests and his straightforward way of writing keep me coming back for more every Tuesday and Friday. Today I especially love the videos of Simon & Garfunkel and of the inimitable Phil Ochs.

UPDATE: At least 3 are dead after a helicopter crashed into the Hudson River. 5 people were reportedly onboard including children. This is what happens when an arrogant POS “president” freezes flight control hiring on day 1 — air travel becomes less safe & people die We are not safe under Trump!

It's migration! Help birds travel safe - turn off lights overnight and make your windows bird safe! There are many options for your windows, you could even let the kids decorate the windows with temporary paint or soap to save the birds! #wildlife #birds www.stopbirdcollisions.org/solutions/

"Stupid is as stupid does."

Yes, there were millions of people at rallies, and there will hopefully be even more on the 19th and into the future, but the market is tanking today, taking our retirement savings, and our hopes, along the downward plunge. Fear is beginning to take a stronger hold. Tuck Frump.

Getting scarier by the day.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

The Shady Bunch

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

Bluesky and Substack are now the only places to read Heather's daily Letters, since Facebook has removed all the latest ones since March 26. We can also see her videos on You Tube and, so far, still on FB.

It is 3:58 pm on April 1. Cory Booker is still standing, still eloquently protesting, with support from the colleagues who love him as we all should.

As more & more people wake up, because they (or someone they love) are directly impacted by what’s happening in the USA, there are two phrases I am finding helpful: “You don’t have to admit you were wrong. Just admit that you were lied to.” “Welcome to the resistance” #UnitedWeAreStrong 🤝🇺🇸✊

I'm sharing this 20 hours after the great Cory Booker started his courageous protest / moral moment on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

5-yr Anniversary of the WHO Pandemic Declaration 🔥10 waves 🔥Covid mortality rivals lung cancer 🔥8 infections/person by 2030 🔥Long Covid as catastrophic 🔥Death trajectories becoming complex 🔥"During Covid" as anti-science rhetoric 🔥Serious ppl take Covid seriously 50m VIDEO: x.com/michael_hoer...

Fight the exhaustion and dismay you feel so you can continue to fight the coup / autocratic takeover of our precious democracy.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Scary!

Rachel Maddow is also publicizing the spontaneous rallies that are popping up all over the country.

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites. Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote

The White House is saying the information shared in the Signal group chat was “not classified.” They’re lying. Those who’ve served in uniform know it would’ve been classified. We’re calling for an investigation and accountability.

And yet he's getting away with them.

Call your rep, call your senators. No matter the party.

Yep. Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.” apnews.com/article/soci...

Infuriating.

BuT wHaT IF tHeY SHut doWN thE GOveRNmenT?? Motherfucker he did this AFTER your cowardly vote. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/1…

Hey guys this is what it looks like to oppose a trash government

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Robert Hubbell is very angry at Chuck Schumer.

I love Dr. Ryan’s dedication to science and to his patients and readers, and I admire his pro-science, pro-democracy activism.

Please read and share.

This is insane.

Prof. Snyder gives us this thoughtful disquisition about antisemitism against Zelenskyy by Putin and by The Monster and his minions in the US.
