“Difficult to overstate how profound a🚨failure DOGE was. Spending in FY25: not only⬆️than in FY24 –but⬆️than it was projected to be when Trump took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has💔already killed 100s of 1000s & will eventually kill millions.”

I can't believe Ukraine isn't grateful that Witkoff took a Russian plan for Ukrainian capitulation, ran it through Google Translate, and mandated that Zelenskyy accept it by Thursday!
My soul is shattered over the impact of Americans having not elected Kamala. All the pain and suffering — domestically as well as in Ukraine and elsewhere — could have been avoided.
Things are going to get much, much worse, and my heart breaks for #Ukraine.

"In death, Jamal’s faith would prove to be misplaced. The Washington Post’s erasure of Jamal’s memory and the freedom he stood for has been brewing in the background.
The global opinion section that Jamal wrote for was dismantled. The Jamal Khashoggi fellowship – which was offered to writers speaking out against authoritarian regimes – was left to fade away."

Dr Oz isn’t mincing words, he’s stating the regime’s eugenicist goals loud & clear
“Want to drop the cost of healthcare in America? Get healthy”
Where does that leave disabled and chronically ill people?
We can’t “choose” to get healthy.
Just like we didn’t “choose” to be disabled.

Their plan is to leave us behind.

I just realized today that the spending bills Congress approved include langage that is in effect a ban on all hemp-derived consumer products: gummies, edibles like brownies, beverages, tinctures, etc. It goes into effect in a year.
If we can’t get this repealed, it’ll make life harder for folks who rely on these products for pain management. And it will be devastating to people who grow and produce these products — like @fraying at Milk Barn Farm.

Fresh off its immigration raids into Los Angeles and Chicago, the Trump Department of Homeland Security has launched its operation in Charlotte and has New Orleans in its sights.
Why it matters: The high-profile operations have led to surges in arrests. But they've also galvanized local resistance efforts, and created a playbook for activists in other cities when ICE comes to town.

In the process, they created patentently illegal, unconstitutional chaos.

A US Federal Judge ordered the release of the people DHS now plans to hold anyway, illegally under both US and International Law.
15 of the people arrested at Broadview yesterday were clergy, peacefully protesting; bringing assistance to and advocating for the downtrodden quite literally _is_ their job.
But DHS/ICE/CBP brings only lawlessness and violence.
DHS and all its components and collaborators are a clear and present danger to the American People and the US Constitution.
The bastards were too busy focusing on Trump's Russia connection.
And the freaking liberals still pretend that it wasn't their fault that Trump got away with almost everything.
The stupid Blue MAGAts making me sick, blaming their disgusting inaction and criminal acts on others.

"#Epstein’s human trafficking organization depended entirely on the wealth management industry (WMI). It was how he obtained the capital to build it, and it was how he hid his activities from the authorities. And none of this was an abuse of the industry; it is precisely how the WMI is designed to work. Nor is it an abuse of the law, because both American and international law has been carefully designed to accomodate the WMI."

Paul Krugman writes about the Heritage Foundation and its descent into conspiracy-mongering and blatant bigotry.
"Heritage was never a respectable institution doing honest research. It was always in the business of telling lies on behalf of its wealthy supporters. But now it’s trying to turn itself into a MAGA/Groyper institution, less focused on telling economic lies and more focused on bigotry and conspiracy theories."

Saying goodbye to comet A6 Lemmon. It's getting very low, and clouds are increasing in southern New Mexico.
It was a remarkable run of many clear nights.
This is a single exposure on a fixed tripod.
There's a blurred silhouette of a power line, and satellite trails in this image. They belong in the frame because this is the world we have created. It's getting increasingly difficult to escape to pristine nature.
Perhaps the phrase 'pristine nature' is now an oxymoron?
When is the first No Kings General Strike?
We all need to help with community building and boosting civic engagement. These activities have atrophied for decades, and it shows.

I had no business watching this video (because I don't want to be sold window blinds—I stopped at the time stamp linked) that purports to be a discussion of what Democrats should do. The host Jon Podcast & Fox News liberal agree that watching Fox is fun! Because they have great graphics & don't take things so seriously. Ummm. They literally catastrophize every issue. The only things that they don't take seriously are the value of human life.
