We should just start calling the crew the Trump boys are running with “cryptoterrorists” if words don’t have meaning anymore.

As winter flooding looms, it's worth noting that a young street tree in an asphalt surface can prevent 60% of the rain that falls on it from reaching the ground, even when not in leaf.
Increasing the low levels of urban tree cover should be a strategic national priority.

Universal healthcare -like every other developed nation has - is the only answer. ACA was a compromise. It’s not working. We’re wasting time money energy stress and bankruptcy on this.

The Trump administration is trying to pit working people against working people.
Federal workers. Health care workers. Construction workers. Food service workers.
People who will go broke without a paycheck vs. people who will go bankrupt with insurance premiums.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”
“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95%
Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.
