This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.

JD Vance was owned hard over his excusing of the anti-Indian racist on DOGE, Marko Elez.

They tried this 💩 in the first admin, proposing cuts of indirects to 10%, and it was resisted by Congress

Call your congresspeople, and remind them they have defended health research before, and they can do so again

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is.

They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring.

So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

16 Democratic senators recently voted to confirm the Trump-appointed Treasury Secretary who just gave Musk’s team access to a Treasury payment system that disburses trillions and holds mass quantities of personal information. Food for thought. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Don’t let what we are witnessing harden you.
Yes it’s heartbreaking.
Yes it’s devastating.
Yes it’s painful.
That very pain that you are still able to feel is an affirmation of your humanity.
Fight to hold on to it.
Fight to maintain it.
Fight to keep your heart soft.
Remain fiercely human.

I only recently got on substack and didn't realize this. Will deactivate before I get used to checking it

“One of the unwritten rules of American politics is that it’s OK to sneer at and smear our big cities and the people who live in them, while it’s an outrageous act of disrespect to suggest that there’s anything wrong with the Heartland.”
- @pkrugman.bsky.social writing brilliantly in defense of CA

This purge is bone-chilling and unprecedented. It’s straight out of the authoritarian’s playbook. Inspectors General are a vital, independent check on misconduct and abuse within the executive branch. Trump is ousting them so he can break the law with zero oversight.

To recap,
Yes, many harmful orders came from the highest office,

BUT helpers arose:
The Reverend from her pulpit who called for love & mercy.
The staff who kept officers from raiding their school.
The lawyers who sprung into action to protect vulnerable communities.

We are all the helpers now.
