"The CEOs of three of the nation's biggest retailers — Walmart, Target and Home Depot — privately warned him that his tariff and trade policy could disrupt supply chains, raise prices and empty shelves."

It's my birthday and all I want is for fascism to take the kind of treacherous dive the stock market has this year.

My Trump-loving cousins are having a FAFO moment due to their fierce love for and support of their autistic son. I feel compassion for them, but also hope this leads to a greater awakening about the man they voted into office.

In the 90s, Toni Morrison found out that one of her books had been banned in a men’s prison because they were afraid it would incite a riot. And she was absolutely delighted. In an interview she smiled and said “how powerful is that?” I want to write books that incite riots and tear down prisons.

The same Republicans who blocked funding for Veterans Suicide Prevention, Health Benefits, Wounded Veterans Job Security, Veterans Retraining, Disabled Veterans Home Accessibility, and the Veterans Business Center are the same Republicans who found $113 MILLION for Trump's birthday parade.

As your lifestyle allows, go out this week and buy coffee from a local coffee shop, buy a book from an indie bookstore, get some spring plants from the local nursery. Maintain your comfort zone, but these are days when our community businesses need us as much as we need them.

Buckle up today, kids. Breathe, touch earth, and walk away from the temptation to check the news/market too often. Our nervous systems deserve mindful protection.

It's a crude analogy, but I wouldn't make it if it weren't true. I now see no difference between people who 'get off' on watching torture porn and the MAGA leaders & supporters who are taking pleasure in the dismantling of institutions, systems, and individual lives.

I need more than my fingers and toes to count the people I've lost to cancer. I'm on the other side of kidney cancer myself. So, yeah...I'm taking the research cuts personally. And you should too.

Sending good thoughts to my CDC friends in Atlanta. Most of them left social media quite some time ago, warned that they may be putting their jobs in peril by expressing opinions there. I fear they were right about that.

Not sure what - if any - tangible good will come out of Corey Booker's marathon Senate speech this week, but I take delight in knowing that Strom Thurmond's record was broken by a Black man.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:
They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”
Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…
Made in Nicaragua.
They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.
Legendary.
