I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!
Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.
“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥
"Human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.'"
This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Bluesky as interim CEO. I deeply believe in what this team has built and the open social web they're fighting for. More here: toni.org/2026/03/09/c...
L'ECOLIER J'aime me lever par un matin d'été Quand les oiseaux chantent dans tous les arbres; Le chasseur au loin sonne du cor, Et l'alouette chante avec moi, Oh! quelle douce compagnie. Mais aller à l'école par un matin d'été, Oh! cela chasse toute joie; Sous un cruel regard, harassés, Les petits passent tout le jour Dans les soupirs et le désarroi. Ah! alors parfois je languis à mon siège, Et passe mainte heure dans l'anxiété; Ni ne puis prendre à mon livre de plaisir, Ni trouver un refuge aux bosquets du savoir, Transpercé que je suis par l'averse glacée. Comment l'oiseau, né pour la jole, Pourrait-il être en cage et chanter ? Comment l'enfant que tourmente la crainte Ne replierait-il pas ses faibles ailes Et n'oublierait-il pas ce printemps, sa jeunesse ? O père, ô mère, si les bourgeons sont gelés Et les fleurs effeuillées par le vent, Si les tendres plantes sont privées De leur joie au temps du renouveau Par le désarroi que laissent la peine et le souci, Comment l'été pourra-t-il naître dans la joie ? Comment apparaîtront les fruits de l'été ? Comment récolterons-nous ce que la tristesse détruit Ou bénirons-nous la saison qui mûrit Quand surviendront les rafales d'hiver?
Petite pensée à tous les écoliers qui reprennent l’école après ce we ensoleillé 🎓

I wrote about how, in the past few weeks, two federal judges held the Trump administration in civil contempt, and two more threatened the admin with criminal contempt

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
Now joining the #TCMParty for some Wilder.
1960 was such a wild year for film: The Apartment, Psycho, Breathless, La Dolce Vita, Trou, Rocco and His Brothers, and much more.
I saw The Apartment 4k restoration on the big screen a couple of years ago, the outdoor scenes are incredible.

Another Fascist politician screwed over veterans by blocking a unanimous consent to pass a bill that allowed combat- injured veterans to receive both a full military retirement pay & their VA disability benefits.
Senator Johnson stated that there is no money for both. BS‼️🤬🤬

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,
Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
🔥Ex-CIA Ex-Marine congressional candidate @adamduniganva8 : “This is now a regional conflict involving 17 countries… incompetence, lack of planning, and an inability to understand the scale of the crisis they’ve created… Trump spent more time with Epstein than planning for war.”
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
