At 1pm March 15 I am on WBAI.org fielding calls as protestors in NYC gather& march by the thousands against Trump and GOP cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and many more critical programs working people and the vulnerable depend on demonstrators will stage a die-in right in front of Wall Street.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

ok, so basically I am trying to make this post go viral.

NH GOP-all in 4 the rich: NHSenate just passed Universal vouchers giving thousands to wealthy families who can easily afford elite schools but feed kids Tough shit: A bill that would require schools to offer free or reduced breakfast&lunch to children who meet federal income eligibility was killed.

Question of the day Question for every day (make that questions!): What has Trump done for you? What has Trump done to you?

Always enjoy speaking with Arnie Arnesen @nharnie.bsky.social—but I wish we'd had better Iowa political news to talk about. (second half of today's program) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Posted this on Facebook-share it here. I have always adored umbrellas be they Asian parasols or a proper British James Smith&Sons known for their carved handles. But my attraction at this moment reflects the understanding that an umbrella evokes feelings of protection, security, and preparedness.

This message needs to be heard widely.

Musk staffers briefly published a list of 440 properties it planned to sell, deeming them “not core to government operations.” However, the list was removed after officials were alerted that it included a complex housing a CIA facility—often referred to as the “worst-kept secret in Springfield.”

Wall Street ends sharply lower as recession fears loom and now this headline: Trump to Address Top CEOs, Wall Street Bank Executives Tuesday oh to be a fly on the wall

"It's going to evolve," is how Mayor Bowser on NPR characterizes painting over the Black Lives Matter mural on 16th St. What's achieved by talking like that? Why not just say: "Congress is forcing us to erase it."?

Unvaccinated New Mexico resident tests positive for measles after dying...but I am sure he was taking cod liver oil as recommended by RFK Jr. (death is on the list of accomplishments for our new head of HHS...saving lives is so yesterday)

Hope DeSantis likes oranges. There's going to be a lot left over this harvest season.

Folks are furious with Congressman Al Green for waving his cain and calling out the President for lying and for cuts to medicaid but the tsunami of lies & threats that went on for 99 minutes, yeah we are cool with that after all -it is what Trump does. (we have been so tamed by the fascist in chief)

If you're coming out to Concord NH today to support federal workers, bundle up. It's windy, cover all your skin. Federal building, 8:30a to 9:30a. #resist

I AM PROUD TO BE A NEIGHBOR OF CANADA

TRUMP'S GREAT ECONOMY RIIIIGHT!!!! Private employers added 77,000 jobs in February Hiring slowed to the SMALLEST LEVEL of gains since July, with trade and transportation, health care and education, and information showing job losses. Small business employment also fell

Trump is to Canada as Putin is to Ukraine: "Trudeau says Trump's 'dumb' trade war is designed to collapse the Canadian economy PM says Trump is trying to make it easier to annex Canada — but it won't work" Wake up! this is the plan and we need to stop it...with apologies to our northern neighbors.

"I have been thinking about how Trump’s rhetoric on Canada It is kind of treated as a joke here in the US, but if you look closely it is not dissimilar to what Putin was saying about Ukraine in the last half of 2021-delegitimizing it as a state, threats, belittling its leader" Prof. Lincoln Mitchell

Turns Out, Trump&DOGE Haven’t Actually Saved Any Money Government spending has gone up! "According to an analysis published Wed. by Reuters, the Trump administration spent $710 B between January 21 and February 20, nearly a billion more than Joe Biden spent in a similar time period last year."

If anything screams time to democratize the media it is the actions of Jeff Bezos and The Washington Post - we must create nonprofit and public alternatives to failing commercial models...billionaires and media capitalism has failed us!!!
