Old, persistent, so stubborn, I may waiver upon occasion, but I will never give up.

People ask me how I don't succumb to despair. 1. We don't really have that luxury 2. If I feel hopelessness creeping in, I reframe the situation to accurately see what's happening and what is to come: I am reminding myself that a post-Tr*mp era is coming and we decide what it looks like.

Massive protest march in Boston Ma. today. Largest I’ve seen since the women’s march in 2017. I didn’t take any photos. I don’t think it was as large but still huge. People were still arriving at city hall from the Commons when we left. Streets were filled with marchers.

This is not politics as usual. This is a whole different planet. Schumer needs to wake up or step back.

Having just lived thru a hurricane that was so severe it caused a geological event 600 miles inland, I can't fathom why anyone would support shutting down NOAA - the agency that warns us about hurricanes.

Do they simply not care if they kill us? Starting to look that they don't.
Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
I have covered NOAA and it’s work for like 15 years and this is brutal. If you’re there and want to chat or share anything, signal is davelevitan.26

In order to fight for the stability of this country, in order to keep the constitution and the freedom it’s meant to provide, awful things are going to happen and we have to decide where the fulcrums we need to control are, as a people, together, as many of us as possible.

The Palestinian plans, he talked about this, he’ll do it if he can but in the long run they don’t care. Right now it is a giant,horrifying distraction. I’m sure they’re hoping there’s a huge demonstration so they can call out the military and shoot down young Americans in the streets.

People who say trump doesn’t know what he’s actually doing or affecting, he knows enough it’s a hostile takeover and he’ll let others deal with the details.

No taxation without representation. Gop members of the house and the senate, straighten those Gollumish backs of yours and hold on to your damn power.

None of the mayors whose presence was requested by Comer and his committee should go.
They should make him subpoena them.

Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
-John Donne
This is often presented as doom but I’ve always thought it was a call to act, to remember our connections thru life and death.

The dominoes are beginning to fall. Hegseth

Rep. Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney on their pardons:

“We have been pardoned today not for breaking the law but for upholding it.”
