Instead of sending me emails soliciting even more money, why not communicate with Trump voters on social media about how he’s letting them down, something they’ll never learn on Fox Mews. Dems concede Republicans ‘running circles’ around them online as Trump remakes Washington - POLITICO

X sued more advertisers for “conspiring” not to advertise on X. Musk seems to think he’s entitled to their advertising dollars no matter what X does. I declare a Reverse Boycott: Use the list of defendants as a shopping list of what products to buy.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Constitution: President “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Trump: last time, I focused on executing people, but this time I’m going to execute a lot of laws, beautiful executions.

It was a body-snatcher moment, watching Austin-area U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, a law-and-order type, standing outside the D.C. jail, demanding the release of Jan. 6 defendants who'd been accused of beating cops. The pardons don't change the truth. My latest for @austin-statesman.com: tinyurl.com/34j3s6fa

You can either go on a hike to ignore what’s going on, like I’ve been doing, or you can listen to a hike with Nate and Grandma Gatewood. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Eloquent in thought and speech, MLK, Jr. reminded us that what is exceptional about the promise of the US Constitution is not how much money one person can make, but how every citizen can thrive and be fulfilled. Now is the time to contemplate his dream and each of our own dreams.

Ransom Center is a remarkable place. Open to the public for research, not just university academics, it has surprises such as Harry Houdini’s collection of magician posters, the blue dress from Gone With the Wind, Graham Green’s writing desk, and Kazuo Ishiguro’s typewriter.

As predictable news breaks timely infuriating poll via @ryangrim.bsky.social "Twenty-nine percent of non-voters who supported Biden in 2020 said U.S. support for the genocide was the top reason they sat the 2024 election, according to a survey by YouGov." A colossal F'up by Biden/Harris admin.

According to the conversations in Israeli media, one thing holding Israel back from a ceasefire was/is the concern that when western reporters and human rights groups are allowed in, the true scale of the crime will shock the global conscience in a way it hasn’t yet
