Listening to Ezra Klein podcast, with Ta-Nehisi Coates, talking about how we got to this point Politically. Ta-Nehisi said "Hatred energizes people" - the gist, not sure energizes was the word....worth a listen.

Downtown Port Townsend has a very very old fence around a playing field, Memorial Field. Currently local artists are painting it, section by section. Sure does add a LOT to our little town. THANKS artists!

We appreciate that Senator Booker is putting in all of this work to get attention where it belongs: The Trump-Musk coup. We don’t want to see Democrats behaving like this dangerous administration is business as usual — we hope more of your colleagues will follow your lead here.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

He only recently turned 9. When I'd take him off leash he'd drop his ball and throw himself down on it, rolling back and forth vigorously on it. He found more balls in the bushes than anybody else. His name was Eldorado, Eldo, for short. Everyone who met him smiled.

It won’t do any good, but still, never forget that these guys are complete fucking idiots.
Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.
