One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.

The actual number is less than 1%.

Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

My body wouldn't allow me to play it now but years ago I was second row on a rugby squad. Don't get me wrong, I love soccer and football but this country could really use the emotional outlet rugby afforded me.

A fascist woke up today. Drank water. Ate breakfast. Went for a walk. Maybe went to the gym. Stretched. Took care of themselves today.

If you can, you gave a responsibility to do the same.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.

The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.

Good job, friends.

Beyond excited for this. THE STAND was one of the first 1,000+ page books I ever read, and I voraciously read that shit at 11 in a little over a week. ( and a few more re-readings to actually understand it)
This will be here before you know it ... a terrific anthology based on @stephenking.bsky.social epic THE STAND, edited by @cgolden.bsky.social and @briankeene.bsky.social and containing my story Grace. I'm beyond excited. Beyond, I tell you!

Keep focus during this early period. They will test our resolve and try to overwhelm us. Recognizing their strategy goes a long way in combating it.

Take care of yourselves and each other. Mutual aid is key.

Revolution can't happen in America because we're relatively safe and well fed.

Millions of Americans are about to not be.

The email account set up by the Trump White House to encourage government employees to snitch on their DEI-promoting colleagues is the target of a mass spamming campaign designed to overwhelm those administering it.

Trump’s DEI Snitch Email Is Being Targeted by Spammers
Various NGOs reported seeing the address added to their email lists. But they don’t think it’s Orwellian. They think it’s a prank.
