If we can find a way out of oligarchy, the first priority should be taxing billionaires at Eisenhower rates. Decades of US tax policy insufficiently taxing the wealthiest Americans has become a threat to democracy worldwide. Northern CA.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

I am thoroughly convinced that Donald Trump is the most craven, morally-bankrupt person America has ever produced.

And yes, I’m including serial killers and tech executives.

Search-and-rescue crews were β€œflying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

"Declaring that no quarter will be given" is specifically prohibited by Art 23 of the Annex to the Hague Convention IV, which means it is a war crime under US domestic law by virtue of the War Crimes Act (18 U.S. Code Β§ 2441).

I'm beginning to think the GOP's goal isn't really to make the US more secure.*

* a joke - I haven't thought this in the 40 years I've been an adult.

Congressmembers need to be able to visit 24/7 without warning and with cameras. It is the only way to reduce the ongoing atrocities happening at these concentration camps.

Hegseth is supposed to be talking about war, but he focuses on rewriting the media's headlines. And he makes it clear that the Trump regime expects sweetheart treatment from an Ellison-owned CNN: "The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."

Hi Eydie!

Spring is well under way here! The most exciting thing right now is baby apricots on my Blenheim tree (that was bare root last year). Also have a ton of avocado buds. Planning on planting tomatoes this weekend. Will provide pics when I can.

How is your spring garden going?
