I detest styrofoam peanuts almost as much as I loathe D Trump! Trying to teach local mockingbirds Pet Shop Boys songs. I mostly keep my trap shut and try to promote others' voices.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

Ennis just had surgery to remove cancerous tumors from his larynx. Cherise hasn't been able to get her job back. If you can send any $ their way, it would be deeply appreciated.

That's an exceptionally weird way to spell "black women." The NYT should check their style guide.

Trump’s family is embroiled in a $500m UAE scandal. We’ve hardly noticed | Mohamad Bazzi A crypto startup founded by Trump’s family signed a huge deal with the UAE president’s brother. Where’s the political fallout?

There has never been a more corrupt President.
Trump family accepted a half-billion-dollars with a UAE government official, right before his inauguration for 49% of Trump family’s crypto company.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

The Trump regime thought everyone secretly agreed with them: they were wrong. They thought everyone would cower when they arrived in cities in force: they were wrong. They thought everyone would stop fighting back when they started killing people: they are wrong.

Fascism always does this.

If the 99% sat home for 30 days, the 1% would fold.

They’re not shutting off their own power, water, or profits.

Y’all can choose 30 days of discomfort now or 30 years of it later.

That’s the decision being made right now.

Not a β€œpaid protester.”

Not an Antifa battalion commander.

Not β€œbussed in from out of state.”

A registered nurse at the VA who broke no laws and cared about humanity.

Murdered by the Trump Administration.
