Was just looking a cartoon starring the elephant & donkey: What kind of animal needs to represent the LARGE number of independents (including those voting in one of the parties so they can vote in the primaries: How about a horse? Smart, and good-hearted. Or ... ? Suggestions for independents?

Relax everyone, he’s just trolling us…

A must read story by @lomikriel.bsky.social "A top former government official who worked on refugee issues told ProPublica that another 100,000 refugees who had already been vetted by the Department of Homeland Security have also been blocked from entering the country." propub.li/3EI9X29

From a purely economics standpoint, if we funded 99 useless studies on catheter infections and 1 good study that improved prevention / treatment, it'd still be totally worth it. ... but instead everything's frozen, and they won't even say why. They hate science and they resent scientists.

The NYT got caught pushing Trump propaganda—again. They presented Javon Evans, the communications director for Houston Young Republicans, as just a random Black voter who loves Trump. When @owillis.bsky.social called them out, they quietly edited the article with ✨ zero ✨ accountability.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

To whip the European defense industry into shape, Brussels has appointed veteran Lithuanian politician Andrius Kubilius as its first-ever defense commissioner. The Kyiv Independent sat down with Commissioner Kubilius to ask whether the EU is ready to step up in the light of recent shifts in the U.S.

The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year. Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools. All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools. Suspend sports and explain it is due to Musk, Trump

It’s all fun and games when Trump’s rampage targets foreign aid and programs with quirky names… …until he comes for you.

Topic other than politics: Just had a great weekend: Hosted my first musician friends inside (yes, he cleaned the house!), went to a 6 hour mind & heart & soul expanding experience at my Unity church about preparing for the next steps, & gonna play in the band in Unity Eastside Sunday 2.23!!

(see prior): But please be aware: The current MAGA & the like have been planning & acting for this opportunity starting with President Reagan, so they are far from giving up: We need to face down their facism with honor & grace & all the good stuff that facists were defeated with in 1940's!! Onwards

So, just left FB (again, will miss all the people there who are authentic friends ...): Tonight started getting feeds from the USAmerican authoritarians & their publicists & cronies and hangers-on which I have never gotten before: Plus seeing some bragging about how the MAGA & their ilk have lost...

SIGN @momsrising.org’s letter calling on the U.S. Congress, to prioritize #familiesoverbillionaires—no tax cuts for billionaires and corporations paid for by cuts to our health care, nutrition, education, and childcare. action.momsrising.org/sign/tax2025...

(FYI: Glad Ukraine's president and many EU members are expressing anger / dissappointment / revulsion et al regarding a corrupt USAmerican president's representatives beginning talks with Russia with no transparency: How are they gonna carve up Ukraine (given an attempt to buy Ukraine's minerals)

SO, just asking, why is an administration -- based upon one who owes millions to Russia -- being allowed by Europe & Ukraine to be the initial sole arbiter regarding cessation of the war caused by Russian's invasion of Ukraine? ... bless their hearts ...

For those of us who love libraries, it's no surprise that they make our lives better. But thanks to a groundbreaking new study from the New York Public Library (NYPL), we now have the data to prove it. buff.ly/3CGF6lU via @everylibrary.bsky.social

I'm in.

So: #47 (otherwise known as Donald Trump) promised that USA would not go to war: NOW: He is threatening to go to war over Greenland, over Panama canal, & to occupy and clean up (costing way more $) GAZA ... AND this is only what he has openly said: He hasn't talked about Ukraine, or China's island

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a notorious conspiracy theorist who has spent years spreading dangerous misinformation about vaccines and public health. Confirming RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary would endanger millions of Americans. app.sosha.ai/s/uXfN2x0v

The HHS protects our lives with programs that depend on scientific research and proven health solutions. RFK Jr. can't be trusted to lead an agency so vital to our health and safety. Make sure your senators hear from you. app.sosha.ai/s/0N0ZvvOn
