I stand with New Mexico!

During my year in Belgium as an exchange student, I heard one local call the country “un petit pays de rien de tout” (loosely, a small, insignificant country). Kudos to their football team as David to our ugly Goliath.

FIFA announces that team USA can use their hands “just if they need to”

Memories: In 2016, Obama purchased 32 metric tons of Iran's excess heavy water for $8.6 million to help it stay within its allowed stockpile limits. Not only was that an excellent price, but he didn't have to go to war to get it. Diplomacy and cooperation can do wonders without murdering kids.

Karneval in Düsseldorf. “Everyone ignores the victims.”

The same miserable people saying “don’t have kids if you can’t afford them” are the ones working to restrict sex education and eliminate access to safe abortions and even birth control.

Capturing a photo of the Washington Monument before Trump tears it down.

With all of the energy that is being expended on everything that the Trump administration is destroying, we probably could have discovered the cure for cancers by now.

Pam is the new Karen.

Art is so incredibly important in these times. For me art = hope. It represents a world of possibilities. Thanks, again!

BREAKING: TRUMP DESIGNATES “THOSE PEOPLE” AS AN OFFICIAL TERRORIST GROUP.

MAGA should not be allowed to pick and chose which science they accept. Don’t believe in vaccines? Fine, but then we’re also taking away your cars, phones, TVs & refrigerators. Throw in lights, while we’re at it. Fuck them and their “I only accept science if it directly benefits me” belief systems.

Republicans are masters of complaining about being the victims of a culture that they themselves created and continue to cultivate.

It’s sad and telling that the clamoring for the release of the Epstein files only reached a crescendo when it equated to political gain. The suffering of abused girls is just (sickly) an afterthought.

I am doubling my monthly Sustaining Membership donation to WAMU today.

I’ve decided to write a book titled “Everything Annoys Me, and Other Things That Annoy Me.” I have sooooooo much material to work with.

Trump’s gross theatrics blocking a view of the Lincoln Memorial today. The metaphor could not be more glaring.

Seen on a fire hydrant in DC. The meme and the metaphor of the reality could not be more apt.

Poor Merz. He was completely upstaged today by Trump Tomfuckery.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the fight between Donald Trump & Elon Musk. They are both PSYCHO MEGALOMANIAC BILLIONAIRES that are known sociopathic liars. Popcorn please!

This is really well described, and since it’s REALLY important these days (trade deficits, tariffs, trade wars and how stupid Trump and his people are about the economy), you should definitely watch it, and definitely share it. Every single repost does some real good.

If “woke” is shorthand for valuing consideration, compassion and empathy, then I would proudly label myself woke as hell.

Environmentalism in Germany

I often wonder how many more things I could get accomplished each day if I didn’t have to spend so much time looking for my phone and my glasses.

CECOT is to the Trump Admin what the extermination camps were to the Nazis as: a place to send people who they deem “Lebensunwertes Leben” — “life unworthy of life.” Almost a century after tens of thousands of Americans gave their lives to fight this type of evil, our government is now all in on it.

Hey, New York Times: If you’ve still got questions, I’ve got answers. Of course the Trump Administration is ignoring the Supreme Court’s April 7 Per Curiam Order.

To be clear: I have been busy with, well, yeah, but fuck JK Rowling and the anti-trans hate she happily basks in. (And fuck everyone over on this side of the ocean who decided that hating on a minority population like she has was the right approach to feeling better about yourself.)

The orange felon respects El Salvador’s sovereignty seeing as its leader is a dictator and he refuses to respect the actual sovereignty of Ukraine, Canada and Greenland because he wants to see them all invade and stripped of their natural recourses. He’s as diabolical as he is insane.

Come on man. It’s just all so demoralizing. Remember: the Republican Congress could stop this - ALL of this - at anytime, they simply choose not to.

Owing to the tariffs, the Germans are going to have to learn to live without these American delicacies.

Happy Caturday! A little cat humor to start the weekend.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

I was telling German friends about Stephen Miller’s behind-the-scenes power last night and, of course, they had never heard of him. I then had to expend precious mental energy trying to come up with a way to explain him. Fortunately, the phase “fucking anti-Christ” did a lot of heavy lifting for me.

I may not be as prophetic as some, nor am I some great writer, but I sure as shit know when someone is coming for my rights, and I’m just not fucking having it. Is that plain enough for y’all? #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

Trump’s logic, as applied by me: My cats have run up a huge trade deficit with me, so I have just started insisting that they scoop their own litter boxes. Will show them.

Wow, if you just read “Second-Term Appetite for Risk” as “Petulant Disdain for the Entire World,” NY Times really nailed it.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

The Trump Administration “can’t” get unlawfully-detained Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from CECOT because it “can’t” afford to have someone in the United States who could speak out and shed even more light on the atrocities that the administration is committing.
