So Trump signs an order on Friday that Venezuelans 14 years and older be deported, 300 immediately arrested and sent to ‘confinement camps’ in El Salvador for forced labor at a very low cost to the United States. Look at the historical parallels. Who are we? I am stunned.

Opinion | Call me an agitator for the First Amendment!
If we don’t resist government when it tries to take away our freedom to protest government, we don’t deserve to call ourselves citizens of the United States.

If you want to show Ukraine we care support United 24 (the Ukrainian state platform for donations; RAZOM (an American NGO that cooperates with Ukrainian NGOs to support civilians); … and Come Back Alive (a Ukrainian NGO supports soldiers on the battlefield and veterans). -Robert Reich

Zelensky is a hero and Trump and Vance are buffoons. Trump actually raised his voice and threatened World War III. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

#EconomicBlackout
No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small, local businesses and use cash. The purpose of today’s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.

Trump does not back down on his plan for Gaza, threatens to withhold aid from Jordan and Egypt if the won’t take Palistinian refugees. And he says they won’t come back. This is sickening, and he is clear it is for his own benefit.

I am glad to find BlueSky and get off FB, but I have yet to figure out how to build community here. If you have pointers or are from Wyoming, please let me know. #wyoming

Legislative switchboard is not answering calls. The recording says to state the name of the person you wish to reach and the music cuts you off before you can speak. Tried 5 times and listened to 1/2 of jaunty tunes. That number, again, is 202-224-3121. #coup #politics
