Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:
1. 1929 (the Great Depression)
2. 1987 (Black Monday)
3. 2008 (the Great Recession)
4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY
And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Scum.
Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”
She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

What a fowl mess.
RFK Jr and Brooke Rollins want to let bird flu run through flocks to identify the birds that are immune so that we can breed them.
The problem is that production birds are hybrids, and we don’t breed them. You’d think at least one of these two assholes would know that.

Thanks for my postcard @marc-fischer.bsky.social ! Also pictured… the post office of #Boykin, AL. Home of #GeesBend quilters. I think I will write the quilters I met last week and think about our federally funded, every nook and cranny delivery, in the beautiful and awful nation.
