I haven’t posted for a bit, watching myriad horrors unfold as I evaluate the best way to use my voice, insights and talents to make a difference. I’ve found solace in deep, raw conversations IRL helping others deal with the existential stress of it all. From Vancouver this summer, a moment of joy.

We’ll never know what could have been, but we do know they chose to believe him and not her, and now they are making up excuses for their votes that put us all in harm’s way.

Don’t think this is a one-off.

Earlier today we taped tomorrow’s show, and we discussed the potential for the U.S. to bomb Iran. Since taping, the U.S. has carried out several bombings. We’ll have more to say in the future, but for now our piece on Trump and the Iran Deal can help explain what got us here. youtu.be/5xnZ_CeTqyM

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Share this. It’s why the White House demanding ABC get rid of Terry Moran. Moran has been suspended. What Moran said is accurate and true. Make sure his post makes the rounds.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

This seems an excellent day to post a pic of the burning Reichstag in Berlin. Hitler blamed the 1933 fire on communists and used it as a pretext to suspend civil liberties and to allow the Nazis to peruse "ruthless confrontation" with German citizens.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

This was the true rationale behind DOGE. A data mining operation with the intent to centralize information in a way that makes the Patriot Act and other surveillance quaint. A must read article.
If there’s one thing I’ve taken away from reporting on the current DOGE collection of govt data, it is that the people who’ve previously spent their careers carefully handling this information believe there is almost no limit to how it could be abused (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

The Trump administration is pooling data on Americans. Experts fear what comes next.

Easter is a time of rebirth, new beginnings. Its a chance for the America I know and love to refind and realize its true mission as a vital democracy—with equal rights and opportunities for all. what we hold dear is threatened by a perverse regime dedicated to inflicting pain. We will overcome.
