☢️ Trump’s NASA chair wants to build a nuclear reactor… on the moon.

Meanwhile, we’re slashing science budgets, gutting immigration, and ignoring clean energy here on Earth.

@commoncause.org We're very conflicted and confused by this. You need to do a much better job of explaining your org's purpose if you're going to use this real estate to fight back against Newsome with all else going on. What gives? For now, we've removed you from our list of orgs to support.

🫶 Rhinebeck, NY just showed the country how to show up.

When ICE detained 23-year-old Gerson Turcios, the town didn’t flinch.
💸 Raised $55K
🏛️ Filled the courtroom
⚖️ Won a federal order to stop his deportation

Small town. HUUUUGE heart.

🔦 SPOTLIGHT: Trump just freed a convicted triple murderer, a former Marine who killed 3 Spaniards in a 2016 jealous rage.

Spain is furious. Justice was ignored.

But Trump called it a win.

🔦 SPOTLIGHT ON TRUMP'S DISTRACTION STRATEGY

The strategy is clear:
👉 Blame Obama.
👉 Distract from Epstein, climate failure, and illegal arrests.

🪓 NEW: “Retaliation Nation”
👉 idiotsandcharlatans.com/opinion#retaliation-nation

Trump isn’t just pushing policy. He’s punishing opponents — freezing EV funds, killing disaster grants, even banning reporters.

This isn’t leadership. It’s revenge.

CHARLATAN ALERT 🏛️
Trump is “returning education to the states” — cuts to federal budgets and DOE workforce leave states scrambling to replace billions in funding.
Who's hurt most? Low-income districts and the students who need support the most.

Congress is moving to defund NPR and PBS — not to save money, but to silence them.
Public media is one of the last bastions of truth, fact-based reporting, and civic literacy.

This July 4th, don’t just grill and nod along.
Speak up. Push back. Draw your own line.

This new post gets at why some of us still have “TDS”—and why that’s a good thing.

While schools crumble, students fail, & teachers quit, Texas lawmakers are busy… mandating the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
This isn’t moral clarity — it’s culture war cosplay.
