Government officials are speaking the language of abusers.
“Look what you made us do.”
“If you would’ve let us do what we wanted, it wouldn’t be so bad.”
“You deserved it.”
They’re tapping into layers of trauma and deep systemic power imbalances.
We have to lift each other up. Stand together.💙

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

Huh. Things seemed fine under Biden, according to data. Harvest sales were great in 2024. Harvest for Trump’s 2025? Non-existent.

I am also disgusted by the US national media coverage of the #nokings protests. They show the usual blue cities and photos of clashes with police in LA (I’m talking to you, AP) and I have yet to read about the massive turnout in red states like mine (Oklahoma). We need a red state compilation video.

By chance, I saw city ad encouraging people to test for radon. Our town of Pueblo, CO, apparently has pretty high radon in basements and crawlspaces. So, I took them up on their free radon test and lo and behold our radon was at about 28 pCi/L, which is about 7 times more than it should be. TEST!

A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to proceed with mass terminations of probationary federal workers. The administration has already dismissed 6,700 employees from the IRS, with plans to lay off an additional 50,000 workers from the Defense Department next.

Who in the H.E. double-toothpick does he think he is?
Elon Musk has now set his sights on the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox, insisting on personally ensuring the gold remains intact. The vault was last opened to journalists and a congressional delegation in 1974.

How do we battle a coup?
We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
