Not all news is doom and gloom. This NYT article on a high school student conducting extraordinary research cataloging moths in 3 habitats is refreshing the inspirational.

From the “Heads in sand” file: If we can’t see it, it doesn’t exist. Ignorance is not a strategy Science is not evil … any more than understanding reality is evil. Stand up for science not foolishness

I voted for Ms. Clinton and expected her to win, not knowing how closely the Donald was tied to Putin, not knowing how much Russia would benefit from a Trump presidency or how hard the Kremlin would work to influence the election. MAGA were pons then & they are now RIP MAGA

Yep!

If you haven’t voted yet, Make a plan to vote early Today, tomorrow, this week! Tell your friends, family, colleagues To do the same.

Hello my dear friend Please can you share my post 💔💔

This from the “I can’t believe this sh*t is real” file: Trump Rule Lets Alaska Hunters Lure Bears With Bacon-Greased Doughnuts

I’d characterize the “we are the world” movement as an artistic or musician movement that America once aspired to; the melting pot of all people groups. Today, the regime loyalists call this replacement theory, anathema to Christian nationalism. So sad.

The GOP are bad at running the American economy. I'll let Robert Reich explain ...

Trump's answer to his failed war with Iran, which has resulted in global economic chaos, is to remove sanctions on rogue states, throw Ukraine under the (diesel powered) bus, and to verbally piss on a female heckler that was beaten by his cheering fans at a rally. Zero accountability.

CPI up 3.7% The only surprise here: it wasn’t higher. All consumer goods move to market via diesel powered trucks, so this will only get worse, and farmers, already hit by high fertilizer costs now hit by high diesel costs. Live Update: Inflation Accelerates on Persistent Energy Pressures

The Union of Concerned Scientists or UCS is a group of folks that believe public policy should be driven by scientific findings and public input, both of which are under attack by the regime. New UCS Analysis Shows Progress and Significant Gaps in Meaningful Engagement in State Air Permitting

What this guy says …

What’s the name for a place where you gather undesirable people, hold them in crowded conditions without access to council or due process? Hmm, oh those are called Concentration Camps.

Admittedly, this is horrible, But the shear magnitude of the grift is impressive. Just imagine how much the people pulling his strings are making. Right?

In a perfect world, leaders would be held accountable, but that’s not the world we live in. The Trump crime family will keep their billions Elon & his Doge boys are free Epstein files are closed The people are screwed That’s America today.

Russia is not our ally; Trump thinks Putin is his buddy. Canada is our ally; Trump imposes tariffs & calls Carney schoolyard names. The entire point of imposing sanctions on Russia & those that buy their exports was to stop their war against Ukraine. Now Trump is paying them $1B for diesel? WTF!

Why, why, why is our President allowed to get away with this? Does he have dirt on so many GOP senators and representatives that they don't want to be exposed? Are those people all in the Epstein files? What?

This seems consistent with our expectations for friends of the Trumps. Maybe this guy is in the Epstein files as well.

Ukraine has an answer to Trump’s lifting of sanctions on Russian oil exports. Who has cards now?

The high cost of diesel will drive inflation through 2028. Everything our consumer society buys is moved by diesel powered trucks and machinery.

Isn’t it nice when super rich people do something nice for society? Thanks MJ. now let’s make this the norm

When the people stand up together in opposition to government overreach, as in Minneapolis & now San Antonio, I feel hopeful.

Celeste Headlee has a great perspective on human rights. Her new book is worth the read.

A cartoon is worth a thousand words.

Well, this makes it pretty clear.

Boldly displaying the roots of their playbook.

This is your wake up call.

It's has been obvious, since Project 2025 was released, the goal of Trump's overlords was to transform our country into an authoritarian state dominated by rich white men with subservient white women at home with children. Today, this goal, of a Christian nationalistic state, is boldly on display.

Republicans should be held accountable for ICE operations, but will they be? Will our citizens vote for reform over the status quo? I have my doubts

ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back into office. 2 more in the last week. In addition, 50 people have died in ICE detention. ICE has become a killing machine. We cannot let this feel normal. It isn't.

Go Angie Go The GOP is having to spend millions on ads for Senate races in what used to be deep red states E.g. Florida, Texas, Maine, and even South Carolina This gives me hope

I’m for Troy Jackson And anyone else running against entrenched GOP Senators bought & paid for by their oligarch overlords.

Every international "negotiation" is actually and attempt to strike an enrichment deal for the Trump family and their oligarchy of over-lords.

Humor and satyr help me consume the reality of this regime. Is it just me, or do others appreciate the content and tone of Robert Reich's videos?

Of course he directed the OMB to find the funds for these "advertisements". What could possibly be wrong with blatant self-promotion and praise for our dear leader?

Give us your tired, your poor, your sick ... And we will kick them, LEGAL immigrants to the USA, off Medicaid and other humanitarian assistance. Thanks to Trump's 2025 tax cut for the rich and screw everyone else bill. How do GOP lawmakers sleep at night?

Of course they can't find any proof. He lies continuously. He just makes up whatever fits his agenda. We all know this.

ICE OUT NOW Rapid hiring & deployment of 7,500 ICE recruits last year with little or NO vetting/background checks continues this fall with the addition of 5,000 more = 34,000 total. That's an expansion of 58% funded by our Republican majority Congress. Thanks for creating the GOP police state.

SCOTUS "conservatives" (read racists) overturned a lower court ruling allowing the Regime to continue deporting people swept up by ICE to 3rd countries without due (or any) legal process. THIS is now the American way. Aren't you proud?

Robert Reich telling it like it is, once again. While Scott Bessent resorts to name calling & temper tantrums.

This cat lady is rather blunt, but she's not wrong.

Another call to action based on our "K" shaped economy, where the rich continue to gain wealth at the expense of the working class.

Why is this not surprising for the Environmental Protection Agency? You know why. Regulations decrease profits & kickbacks.

Wow. Powerful. Knowing something is wrong/immoral and doing nothing to stop it, is complicity.

This is a sad state of affairs. Our (once) closest allies have little trust in Trump, understandably, And much more trust in President Xi, again understandably.

We, the USA, must stand with Ukraine and against Russia. This is not a difficult choice. Russia is an aggressor nation, and our historic enemy. Ukraine is a young democracy bravely standing between the EU and Russia. Tell your Senators and Representative.
