congrats right back … you and folk like Meidas gang and Angry make this place hum! Every platform needs just a soupçon of celebrities thinking clearly and courageously - it’s the salt in the soup!

The pain begins Now Gas today $3.16 Gas Jan 20 $3.03 Eggs today $6.18 dz Eggs Jan 20 $4.95 dz “Joe Biden was a candidate of mine, I know Joe Biden, and Mr. Trump, YOU’RE NO JOE BIDEN!

*Trumpcession.* All discretionary spending stopped for me on Dec 31; have no interest in boosting the Trump economy. Seems that in “shock and awe” month, he knocked people back into economic defense stance: Walmart, a leading indicator, down 6%, first decline since pre-pandemic.

Hell of an idea for 12-issue comic series to take us through to primaries. I Have *zero* skillset drawing or creative graphic design, but can take a good idea and write copiously in classic Comic Book style. Happy to collaborate or watch someone else’s work … any idea posted here is public domain!

I regret growing up condemning Germany’s “non-Nazi” population as feckless bystanders to Hitler’s coup — or we all deserve such derision and contempt.

They’d follow a trueblue anywhere… as do I!

For those of you desperately in need of distraction from today's headlines, here's a photo of a bunny & a chick who are friends.

Go Jamie, Go!!!

Great news! You’ll want to know that the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, If you’re in a Red District, do your Congress Critter a favor and enlighten them - I don’t believe they know.

Privacy (of one’s person, papers & effects) is a value that cuts across all peoples. Whether explained in a FIPPS video or by Tim Walz’s “Mind your own business!” or SCOTUS “the right to be left alone,” it’s a tentpole issue around which we can rally in defiance of MAGA. www.fpc.gov/learn-about-...

Trump is no Joe Biden - -Gas was cheaper under Biden -Eggs were cheaper under Biden -More people getting jobs every month under Biden (just 143k January; average Biden job growth of 180k. Jobless rate slips to 4% … and Trump is planning on firing tens of thousands federal employees. Wha’ happen?

Can doubt no longer.

U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, appointed by Ronald Reagan, blocked Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship indefinitely. 🍿

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Good morning, Resister! Today’s principle: #NonServiam! “I will NOT serve!” No cooperation, no settlement for “better of two bad choices.” And the endless emails requesting “my opinion” but only seeking my funds … Prove you’re fucking worth a dime!

Quick Reminder: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause… Hold them to the promised security in your person, house, papers, and effects!

“Tariffs? Tariffs? We Don’t Have to Pay No Stinking Tariffs” Trump on Monday paused a new 25% tariff on Mexican goods exported to the United States for a month.

Please note the difference between the start of Biden’s term, where we are today because of Biden policies, and see where we are tomorrow.

What use is any cybersecurity when the hacker lives in the White House?

@meiselasb.bsky.social Ben, on Patreon you invited input: A 50-yr Dem voter, I ask why we don’t exalt the 4th Am like the RW does the 2nd. #PrivacyRights gave us Roe, etc.; but DOGE gave Elon full federal data yesterday! Health data of every senior, and all fed employees! #PrivacyRules!

A long dark night has begun in America

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

We elected a comic book super villain

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

NYT, NPR, NBC BOOTED FROM PENTAGON! Trump announced late Friday axing four media organizations inc. New York Times, NPR, Politico and NBC from Pentagon offices to make room for crazy reactionary media: New York Post, One America News Network, Breitbart News Network and HuffPost News. STRIKE!!!

It’s almost as if we all told them this would happen and they just didn’t fucking care. Or something.
