I was out with today’s group in Maplewood. Last week: 8. This week: 18. Happening again next Saturday at 11! Good chats with folks about why they came. Mostly supportive honks, just a few wankers. State trooper slow rolled but didn’t stop. Honks from a Ramsey County sheriff vehicle. And…

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

📫Trump is trying to take over the US Postal Service by firing ppl and installing his own. Fact: The Reich Postal Ministry (RPM) was responsible for the German mail system under Nazi Germany, from 1933-1945. 🚨We will need to fight this as well. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Staying sane in current mess: do small things with immediate results, too. Big stuff is important but often needs time to work. Gotta balance that dopamine delivery! My current anxiety project? Noticed spouse's jacket was in tatters and confiscated it for repairs using old jeans. #mending #sewing

Remember when Trump "joked" about a purge?! I had my ear to the ground and was anticipating j6th... This time they are being a lot more secretive... Very concerning. 🥲

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Just found this random person's comment that I, as an American, 100000% agree with. Democratic socialism or fascism- an easy choice for me.

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

We’re not going to split kids into “haves” and “have nots,” especially in the lunchroom. We’re feeding our children - and saving families millions of dollars along the way. It’s that simple.

President Trump just shut off funding for: ❌ law enforcement ❌ farmers ❌ schools ❌ veterans ❌ health care.  Is this what Republicans really voted for? #ChaosEconomy

Keep this in mind: Trump and Musk and their minions are going to claim all this is necessary to combat "fraud" and "irregularities" -- same playbook as election fraud: no proof, keep repeating it on X and on Fox and in the far right fever swamps so that the base just believes it's true.
