If you'd like to see and hear @hcrichardson.bsky.social deliver her blow-by-blow account of the lighting of the lamps in the Old North Church – where she gave this address – and the Ride of Paul Revere 250 years ago, someone did us the service of recording it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv5l...

I guess I'd better get busy being 'productive.' Does making cute quilts for new babies count?
Trump talking to Musk - about incarcerating NOT JUST American citizens that are criminals currently incarcerated here...
But also "non productive" citizens.

I really really hope that @hcrichardson.bsky.social addresses this during her Virtual Town Hall in just an hour...
(Everyone should attend)
As I posted in August on the other place…

Still thinking about (& waiting for *any* journalist to ask about):

Trump’s claim that heads of other countries are “getting rid of non-productive people” —

a plan he called “brilliant for them” — and what he meant when he said “so would I”…..????👇

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one.

And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is.

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator.

And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.
This is fascism.

What protests are happening in Washington, DC this weekend? Or, soon? And, how can we find out in advance so we can participate? We're retired, and want to make our voices heard.

Oligarchs know politics is about power, and they know strong unions don’t just deliver better wages and benefits for their members ... Unions also build the kind of real democratic power—for all of us, not just union members—that keeps oligarchs in check.

Elon Musk's reported data breach at the Treasury Dept. is wrong and puts your personal info, including your Social Security numbers, at risk. As we fight to prevent him from having access, I urge each of you to lock down your social security numbers and print out your benefit pages.

Somebody throw a rock down the well so we can hear if it hits bottom.
Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Can you spell coup?
Some people voted for trump.
Some people voted for Kamala.
Some people voted 3rd party.

But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security.

What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

What if he/they/Musk just *take* all the money? Trillions!

What are they planning to do with all of the PII?

Could they be planning to hold our whole economy and country hostage to Musk's whims?

We need some damn answers!
Trump administration gives Musk allies access to Treasury payment system

canceling the commissary — and i would assume, exchange — program is a one way ticket to getting a bonus army situation. for those unaware, the commissaries and exchanges are subsidized grocery and department stores for service members, veterans and their families.
