Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Trump is trying to push more government agencies to end collective bargaining agreements with federal worker unions.

Why?

Organized labor is standing up to Trump's authoritarian power grab.

Are you paying attention?
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

We are in the hands of a mentally unstable nut who is now threatening Russia with nuclear retaliation based on the midnight ramblings of a drunken fool in Russia.

Is Trump trying to copy Putin by posing to "annex" L.A.?

I jest. But calling everything an "emergency" is not wearing us down, it's just wearing thin.

Meanwhile, in the White House:

West Point grads got some rambling advice today on selecting a trophy wife after their second divorce from a draft dodger in a red campaign hat before he hauled ass to play golf.

One "news" source is super bugged by a puppet at a podium.

Is it because the puppet is green, or that it doesn't have a meme coin?

Consider this: Project 2026
(Starting for reals in Q2 2025)
First, note all that's wrong.
Second, plan how to fix it.
Third, promote a capable leader.
Fourth, campaign hard.
Fifth, get people to vote.

The following do not have extradition treaties with the U.S.:

Iran
Syria
Lebanon
Yemen
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Qatar
Bahrain
Kuwait
Oman

They treat such case-by-case.
In 2029 someone *might* be there in a big tower, or golf course.
Immunity now does not guarantee immunity then.

“An authoritarian project has to come out of the shadows to succeed. The intimidation of many depends on early and well-publicized assaults against a few. The authoritarian wants people to understand DOJ is now a department of political favors and retribution.”

Harvard rejected policy changes demanded by Trump — becoming the first university to refuse to comply with the regime’s demands.

Now it's suing the regime.

Other institutions, firms, and individuals should take note.

Surrendering to Trump’s tyranny only invites more of it.

Actual journalistic integrity is harmed by what is better described as "infotainment".
They treat facts like all-star wrestling; acrobatic fantasy.
Drama to spin up the fans.
"Here we are now, entertain us."
FauxNews isn't worth time compared to getting education on reality.

A research lab in my department has previously purchased scientific supplies from a trusted source in Europe (they do good science there).
The shipping cost was roughly $50.
Their most recent cost was closer to $500.
Why?

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
