Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

So NOW WHAT? No one can fight against him because they're SCARED? Where are the Federal Marshalls? Where are the bench warrants?

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

It is time to use counter-insurgency strategies.

I have noticed that left-leaning billionaires are quite tepid and timid around the much more aggressive right wing billionaires. Maybe they know their place in the male pecking order?

I have noticed that my right wing colleagues are also not seeing the oligarchic ends here. They prop up “culture wars” as the real fight and discount evidence that “they” will be affected.

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

If Europe isn’t preparing for the worst, they haven’t been paying attention.

Just heard that the administration is during NSF workers en masse. This is something to check out as much more than just NIH research is going to stop.

Warning! Dictatorship approaching!

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

To become an elite learner is like becoming an elite athlete. In the hands of an expert learner or athlete that applies critical reasoning skills diligently, AI is fantastic. In the hands of novices without the coaching for motivational and mental regulation, it does very little. #ai #learning

"Important principles may, and must, be inflexible." - Abraham Lincoln 11 April 1865

More resignations imminent, @NYTimes.com reports: "The four officials — Maria Torres-Springer, the first deputy mayor, and Meera Joshi, Anne Williams-Isom and Chauncey Parker, all also deputy mayors — oversee much of New York City government."

‘It certainly looks like’ DOJ is holding Adams’ charges over his head: Fmr. Manhattan attorney Fmr. Manhattan assistant district attorney Rebecca Roiphe discusses the Mayor Eric Adams situation and some of President Trump’s orders on anti-corruption. www.msnbc.com/weekends-wit...

Maybe everyone is missing the bigger picture. What trump is doing is grooming the voters to accept more abuses without resisting so that he can convert the presidency into a dictator for life, using his paid-for supplicants on SCOTUS and oligarch money to buy Congress. A post-constitution world.

Today, I spoke with leaders from the Illinois Beef, Corn Growers, Pork Producers, and Soybean Associations to discuss the impacts of Trump's Tax on Working Families on farmers. Grocery prices are already too high — we must protect our ag industry and Illinoisans from this chaos.

"It sort of feels like more than just a car brand" - by Fredrik Skavlan for Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”
