Thankful for all the champions of a progressive and inclusive Democracy I learn so much from.

The Trump administration is punishing the American Academy of Pediatrics.

I have enough thoughts about this for an entire feature length documentary but here are two minutes of them.

(Spoiler alert: you can’t fight bad politics by staying apolitical.)

A story I found about Haiti:

In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

Books about “Asian wife sharing” that included detailed descriptions of orgies and scenes involving “ladyboys.”

That’s what our reporter discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official. What came next was even wilder.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

For a friend: #Pennsylvania 1st amendment attorneys:
I have a friend suddenly fired from his university position for assigning a VERY benign essay about virtue that some auditing students deemed “too political”.
He was given no opportunity to protest, & needs someone pro-bono ASAP.
It’s urgent.

Do me a favor and forward this post.This needs to get out to everyone. We need to be unified.
Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

More shady stuff in the CR that just passed.

It guts food safety regulations that prevent illness and death, as well as regulations on ultraprocessed foods.

Dear Democrats:

Until you get NEW leadership, I will not be donating to you.

DON'T ASK for support, when, after so much sacrifice, you FAILED to stand strong. You screwed us & are now complicit!

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Who are the squishier ones on this?
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

The Mall in Washington is just a big outdoor area, it doesn't have doors that can be locked. The only way to "close" it would be to erect many blocks worth of barriers. It's like saying "The only reason people can criticize Trump is that he hasn't thrown them in jail yet" like we should be thankful.
Mike Johnson: "We congratulate them on an apparently violent-free speech exercise ... but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open right now ... by the way, the Mall was open because President Trump hasn't closed it."

8/ But Trump doesn't want to end the shutdown. Because he thinks he's a king and he doesn't believe the law applies to him. He thinks he has extra powers in a shutdown. He doesn't.

But the longer Republicans boycott talks, the more the shutdown will hurt. So it's their move.
