Two weeks, Congressional Dems have ONE chance to stand for the US Constitution. Budget/debt ceiling bill is due and D votes are needed. ONE RULE for cooperation: Tell Trump to stop breaking the law, That's it. He breaks the constitution? NOT ONE VOTE in favor. Grind it to a halt. Actually oppose.

Gotta love the Pope smacking down the idea that charity works best closest to home. The world is a community, and help goes where it is needed, when it is needed. The Good Samaritan didn't work in concentric circles, and neither should we.

Unelected Elon gets about 8m a day from the US taxpayer. Is he auditing that? No. Just fire civil servants so GrokAI can replace them and destabilize the economy to devalue the USD so he can install his or Donald’s crypto as the benchmark. Crooks and liars, shock doctrining the USA.

I've been thinking lately of the ubiquity of this company. While Union labor uses the products our employers purchase and this company provides, it's extremely disheartening to see the tools of our own destruction while we work. Shooting ourselves in the foot. It's just fucking sad.
That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

The man who builds trucks that can be torn apart by a teenagers bare hands has spent $7M in a week to demolish our way of life. It would have been cheaper if he just used one of his flamethrowers. And he's supposedly in charge of efficiency. LOL.

Elon Musk wants to kill NPR. In 2024, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting got $525M, of which $126M was for Public Radio.
Tesla: $2.8B in subsidies since 2009
SpaceX: $20 B since 2008
Those are just the Federal dollars. Nevada gave him $1.6B, Texas $2.3M
Yeah, NPR is the problem. GFY ELON.

It would be nice if Elon (and I guess his VP Trump) had to prove corruption before he unilaterally shutters agencies. I'm looking an index to measure what organizations and/or individuals are being harmed by this administration. What is quantifiable in terms of damage. I have two to start:

Please, anyone. Point me to a working guardrail, show me a judge, law, agency. WHO"S STOPPING THIS COUP? TELL ME DEMOCRACY IS WORKING? If I don't see my Democrats engaging in Larry Kramer style fuckery, I will personally primary them. DO SOMETHING! DO I NEED TO POKE YOU WITH A STICK!?!?

I'm an unabashed and fervent fan of Coldplay. They've released a havoc of artists imprinting their own take on the music with little to no collaboration. It's got a Koyaanisqatsi/1GiantLeap/NASA Voyager Golden Record vibe. You should watch it. Positivity is needed. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

So the current state of affairs: A preacher who pled for mercy from the pulpit is being threatened with death for verbally assaulting Trump, while another pastor who is going viral has asserted that empathy is a sin. This is MAGA for you. Tell me we're not fucked.
