Drink coffee.
Read books.
Watch the world to see what is going on.

Maybe travel a bit.

And nowadays, try to beat wannabe dictators and keep the United States the home of the free.

Protect America:
1) Donate to the ACLU so they can fight for our freedom in the courts.
2) Donate to the Democratic Party so they can fight for our freedom at the ballot box.
3) Find your town or County Democratic Committee and GO to the meetings so you can be part of the solution.
I usually have no interest in MTG but I am happy to see her criticizing Trump.
She is one of the crazies, and if Trump loses the crazies his political power will be drastically reduced!
Turmoil among the magas makes my heart sing!

Trump wants to restore confederate statues to oppose anti-American ideologies!
But KILLING Americans to defend SLAVERY was anti-American!
Trump will honor this anti-American ideology to protect us from anti-American ideologies?
He's crazy as a bedbug!

America is now a place that sends masked secret police to abduct people off the street and uses prisoners to create government propaganda.

And this all happened in 8 weeks. www.thebulwark.com/p/this-is-th...

Yes. The point is to normalize abductions by a masked, unidentified, secret police force.

Things are moving very fast right now.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

What proof does the government offer that this is the case? It seems to me that we're past the point where gov't lawyers can be assumed to be speaking truthfully to judges.

This is a plan. To destroy Social Security. Pay attention.

They’re not even hiding it:

By cutting phone lines and closing offices, Republican billionaires are setting up Social Security for failure. And when your check doesn’t show up, there will be no one to call.

This is their plan to end Social Security.

“I take him at his word,” Trump’s envoy says of Putin.

Was there ever a more dangerously naive statement?
Witkoff on Ukraine: "There's a view within the country of Russia that these are Russian territories, that there are referendums within these territories that justify these actions ... I just don't see that [Putin] wants to take all of Europe ... I take him as his word."

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief.

Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs.

What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

I sounded the alarm on behalf of millions of Americans who don't want Elon Musk's lackeys digging into their personal data.
 
Today, a federal judge barred them from accessing your private data.
 
This is why we fight.
NEW: A federal judge in Maryland just issued an injunction blocking DOGE from accessing sensitive personal information from the Departments of Education and Treasury and OPM — ruling that it trampled on privacy rules when it gained "seemingly unfettered" access to the files.

Ukraine should not give up territory to a dictator.
Putin is not even the legitimate ruler of Russia.
He should not be given territory from other countries.
This will only encourage people who want to seize foreign territory.
Like Trump, for example.

We're used to seeing this type of propaganda coordination in Russia, and with all the Russia sycophants around the world.
So to see this choreographed praise of dear leader in America adds a stomach-turning coda. As I wrote today, Trump isn't just fawning, he's imitating Putin.
What an amazing coincidence that all of Trump’s toadies tweeted out praise that used the exact same language.
