“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action. www.salon.com/2025/02/28/a...

"The Trumpists are no longer at the height of glory. They control the executive branch, Congress, the Supreme Court, and social media. But in American history, the supporters of freedom have always won. They are starting to raise their heads." Raise your head. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

That is exactly true.

And our message to the Dems:

And, then, this:

I just love this. Please send to your favorite Democratic leader.

If Jeffries and Schumer allow Republicans to bully them into passing this disgusting, immoral budget, we are all screwed!

US Coast Guard Academy Censors ‘Climate Change’ From Its Curriculum insideclimatenews.org/news/0703202...

The hate required to craft this bill is astonishing. Missouri Republicans want to pay people $1K to turn in “suspected” undocumented immigrants—creating an army of bounty hunters. Not just licensed bond agents, but anyone can participate. Racial profiling run amok. This is state-sanctioned hate.

Iowans are so proud to be a part of the destruction of American democracy.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Committed to the Amazon boycott long term so I moved my entire extremely long Amazon wishlist which was really just a lot of books I want to read to Thrift Books. You can create and share wishlists there and then people can buy you used books, some of which benefit libraries. www.thriftbooks.com

Thousands of protestors marching around the Wisconsin Capitol right now. My favorite sign so far: "no science, no cheese"

If you are spending any time attacking Democrats rather than focusing on what Republicans are doing to destroy our democracy then you are wasting value time.

Perhaps we shouldn’t give an FAA contract to a guy whose rockets keep blowing up. 🤷‍♀️

@aoc.bsky.social: "You have a right to see your elected member of Congress... Our job is to hear from people. And if you aren't doing town halls because your own residents and members of your community are upset with what you're doing, the answer is you’ve got to own your decisions."

Bill Nye at the Stand Up for Science rally in DC: "What are you afraid of? What is it about the process of science, modern medicine, caring for our neighbors, or Women's History Month, that you all find so scary?" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The way I see it, there are two ways out of this. 1. A revolution. 2. Outside countries remove our government and occupy the US until new government is established. Either way, it won't be pretty.

if you buy used books and want to avoid amazon where possible, check out bookfinder.com you can search essentially every marketplace in one go so you can, e.g., find the same used copy for sale, from the same seller, on biblio.com or ebay instead of amazon or abe (owned by amazon)

@aoc.bsky.social: "Listen, if your representative is not doing a town hall, give me a ring... I'll say it right here, right now: if a deep red Republican district wants to have an honest conversation, even if it's with someone they disagree with, I'm willing to do that."

Posted by @attorneycrump.bsky.social: “Target, once a corporate leader in DEI, now faces a 40-day boycott led by Rev. Jamal Bryant after scaling back its diversity efforts. The retailer currently faces declining sales, tariff pressures, and customer visits dropping more than rival competitors.”
