Shit. Here we go. Protect our troops and get them out of there!
How dare her!! 🧐🤨
"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
No worries!
We certainly will! A musician/singer-songwriter we have gotten to know has sent in songs to Tiny Desk a bunch of times (8?) and gets nice responses but has never made the cut, so she asked the audience today if anyone knows someone at Tiny Desk. Not sure there's a close enough connection though.
@lindaholmes.bsky.social hi Linda! Do you do anything on the music side of NPR? I feel like you're more on the movie/tv, even book side of things? On another note, been meaning to go visit your folks one of these trips up 81 that we do a lot. Hope you are well!

Is this at the State of the Union Address?
Vladimir Putin’s top aides are snickering behind Donald Trump’s back at how they say the Russian tyrant is playing the U.S. president like a fiddle.
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits: paid for by cuts to reproductive health care paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid paid for by cuts to SNAP paid for by cuts to clean energy projects paid for by cuts to obesity prevention paid for by cuts to disaster response paid for by cuts to energy tax credits
I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
“I’m trying to imagine what the reaction would be if two Republican members of Congress were assaulted over the course of five days, and a Democratic president made no effort to denounce the incidents and instead responded with ugly and conspiratorial nonsense.”

Impeach Bondi (along with Noem, and well, really the Pres and his entire cabinet)!
I believe this is highly likely.
Someone willing to test it's validity if you take a sharpie and draw a tiny mustache on the face that is on the right of Washington?
"ICE has waged a recruitment drive drenched in war metaphors and martial imagery. The type of person sought...is someone with a fervor for guns and an eagerness to apply violence."
Good work by @aselrod.bsky.social putting shooting in context of MAGA's violent ethos:

"So MAGA does not want to make America great again. MAGA does not simply want to correct some of the excesses of modern America or the modern world. MAGA embraces what was most illiberal about the old order. Or to put it simply: It is fascism that they yearn for." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
The sheer number of people that are gleeful and celebratory about a young woman being shot in the head is a demonstration of how a country could allow millions of people to be disappeared and slaughtered.
When we allow people to be dehumanized, we desensitize ourselves to their murder.
White House staff reportedly liken the immigration hardliner to Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler.
Shocked, I am.
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.
The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.
President Trump has announced the Navy will begin building a new fleet of warships. And, a federal judge has ruled the deportations of more than 100 Venezuelan men to El Salvador were illegal. n.pr/4965AJD
In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…”

Uh huh, sure. While he golfed, threw gala parties, and attended NFL games. Nope. Dems caved on their own.
BREAKING: The U.S. Senate passed legislation Monday to reopen the government, bringing the longest shutdown in history closer to an end as a small group of Democrats ratified a deal with Republicans despite searing criticism from within their party.
On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.
