Is the NYT going the way of the Amazon Washington Post? Come on, Times, stop pretending you think he is sane or competent, and start reporting on who's really running the country into the ground.

Members of the military who oppose fascism, Please keep this phone number where you can find it.

I don't care how good he was at baseball. His memory is a blight on the sport.

Price tag for Happy Birthday Dear Big Brother parade: $45 million. Cost of children losing food at school: infinite.

If you can't support this response, your Catholicism is idolatry.

Dare County, NC. Population 38,000. Trump Country. Democracy Protectors today in this location (there were others): 225-250.

Imagine you were dealing with a person who would report that there was two and there was also this other two but didn't want to add them up to get to four, because getting all the way to four felt like making a statement and they didn't want to alarm anybody or be accused of making an accusation.

No wonder they're too busy to impeach him for his blatant market manipulation. Gotta count all that new money he just made for them.

Headline from The Guardian, April 9, 2024: "Ice director says deportations should be run like ‘Amazon Prime for human beings’." So, human trafficking. Like in the Confederacy these guys love so much.

If you are currently working for ICE, CBP, or Homeland Security, you might want to study up on the Nuremberg Trials. Your time will come, and "just following orders" won't cut it for you either.

Maybe there's a connection here: the inability to admit that you've lost. "Celebrating pre-Civil War Southern culture" is the new Republican approach to US history. www.yahoo.com/news/north-c...

Make America 1880 again. Florida is looking to roll back child labor laws to make up for the immigrant labor they lost.

Here are Trump/Musk: "They were careless people. . . they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." --The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald

A strong statement from the head of Voice of America, who points out that Trump‘s move to silence this important journalistic entity will help the tyrannical governments of Russia, China, Iran, and other repressive states. This is not America First; this is the abandonment of democracy.

Headline from The Guardian, confirmed by Reuters: "US is pausing military aid to Ukraine – White House" Time to call for a general strike.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Gosh, Marco, did you spine just dissolve? Get well soon.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

So far, the Trump regime has attacked the Episcopal Church, the Catholic Church, and the Lutheran Church--all for following their Christian faith. Here's a strong reply from the Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. youtube.com/watch?v=Liqz...

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
