Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.
That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:
Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

This Friday, the 28th, I will be participating in a 24 hour economic blackout. I will buy nothing, close my on-line store for the day, and I decided I will go one step further and I not produce anything for sale. Instead, I will make a pair of earrings to donate. Please participate!
