It’s not too late to show up, many protests are still getting started, and we’re already over 2 million+. Today has been incredible. Small towns across America doubled or even tripled their turnout compared to 4/5. Way to go! We never expected these small towns to show up with this kind of force!

Today was truly inspiring. Something happened that we’ve never seen before, you made noise in places that rarely see protests like this. Communities across traditionally conservative areas hosted historic turnouts.

This is a “Faces Motif” #pictograph. These Ancestral Puebloan panels have flat-topped heads, mask-like faces, & are adorned with necklaces & earrings. ~700-1000 yrs old.

This #pictograph is located in an ancient habituation site. Initially, some thought it was historic because of the red, white & blue colors & the flag. Radiocarbon dates on the paint, however, proved it was painted ~1295 AD by the Native Americans. More info in Alt text.

JUST IN: Donald Trump right now:

If government workers refuse to advance policy interests of president, or are engaging in corrupt behavior, they should no longer have a job

This will allow federal government to finally be "Run like a business."

The Esplanade Sandstone described by #KevinFedarko:

The color of that rock was deeply pleasing to the eye, a honeyed brown with a tint of toasted orange that suggested what might happen to sunlight if it were barreled and aged

It is my favorite place for #hiking #backpacking #acoloradAyPRIL #tan

These themes brought back all the feels of a tough backpack trip we had in the Waterpocket Fold, Utah in 2021. We almost died of thirst.

I am saving Sundays for #shotsinslots if anyone wants to join me. It can be broadly interpreted: narrow canyons or narrow valleys are fine & art work of slots/narrows/canyons. Here is a #photobyraykenny taken in Grand Staircase-Escalante NM.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?
Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion

Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion

Now he’s down to $150 billion

And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion

So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services

This clown will cut $58 billion

Maybe

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it.

He is not exempt from the law.

Where the fuck is Congress?

Senator Adam Schiff has announced that, due to the chaos surrounding tariff policy, he will investigate whether anyone engaged in insider trading. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but those around him are not. — It’s time to decimate this MAGA circle.

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.

You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls

RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.
