I really try to keep an even keel, and self-regulate because it’s the only way to be in this for the long haul, but sometimes the fury overtakes you for a bit.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.
They coined the term “useless eaters”.
They tested the gas chambers on us.
They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.
That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.
We’re not expendable

Trump's approval ratings are tanking.
He's flailing on the economy.
He backtracked on the Epstein files and lost control of the GOP.
His plot to steal the 2026 midterms is faltering.
Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

I hear the Network State had a very rough night at the Cloverdale City Council.
It’s the People of Cloverdale vs The Network State.

Cloverdale, a tiny town in Sonoma County, California, is being invaded by secretive investors who want to build a new "town."
Of course, the backers of "Esmeralda" have very deep ties to the Network State cult and Peter Thiel.
