Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

So: Russia flatly rejected one Trump envoy (Kellogg), made the next one (Witkoff) wait for eight hours, rejected the ceasefire, and instructed Trump that his job is to give Russia what it wants. That’s what Trump means by "respect" I guess.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...
Leaked memo: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support
Changes could break the system, former officials say.

The TESLA (a/k/a "TESLER") TAKEDOWN is working... WORLDWIDE!
Turns out people really resent an unelected weirdo running our Government & creating economic chaos. Hit Elmo where it really hurts: in his big, fat wallet. If we #TankTesla, It's Ex-X! (a/k/a Twitter) #WinWin

Nomad is a lovely treat during these stressful times! Their cinnamon croffle is especially delightful.

Incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz:

"It is the clear message to our partners... but also to the enemies of our freedom. We are capable of defending ourselves and we are now fully prepared to do so. There will be no shortage of resources to defend freedom and peace... Germany is back."

It strikes me that the republicans are good at acting as a united group. It makes me sad that Dems didn't seize this opportunity to do the same. Vote yes. Vote no. They are both bad choices. But what is really lost is the real power, in this unprecedented time, to hold hands and face it together.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

In Colorado, we support freedom, and we will not cater to a brutal Russian dictator who is no friend to America, our interests, or our future. America plays a crucial role in supporting our international allies and protecting democracy abroad; Colorado continues to stand with Ukraine.

JD Vance is skiing at a Vermont resort this weekend. The resort’s snow reporter took the opportunity to make some good trouble, sending out a message of resistance against an administration “threatening our democracy, our livelihoods, our land”. [kottke.org]

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

I'm SO tired of hearing Bluesky is an echo chamber.

Bluesky is:

*The BEST organizing TOOL that we have to stand up to Donald Trump, Elon Musk & GOP
*A support system of kindness & hope (WE NEED THIS)
*So much BETTER than Twitter & WITHOUT the hate
*A platform of PATRIOTS

Now let's SAVE America!🙏💜
