There should have been a national convulsion when Donald Trump brought "little green men" and their war hardware to our nation's capital in Washington, D.C., because now we no longer have to imagine what that looks like.

A quote from the great Toni Morrison that says, With an eye to the various brokennesses in the world, past and present, Morrison writes: "This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.

"Trump Cuts Are Killing a Tiny Office That Keeps Measurements of the World Accurate"

National Geodetic Survey: "NGS was formed in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson, the son of a surveyor and cartographer."

#gisChat #GeoSky #earthObservation 👇🏼
Excerpt from the article that reads: "NGS is currently responsible for maintaining and updating what’s known as the National Spatial Reference System, a consistent system of physical coordinates used across federal and local governments, the private sector, and academia. This includes not only latitude and longitude, but also measurements of depth and height as well as calculations around Earth’s gravitational field—crucial mathematics that inform much of the basic infrastructure around us, from constructing bridges to mapping out water and electric lines. NGS also maintains and operates more than 1,700 federally owned satellite receivers across the US, which provide publicly available geospatial information."

A quote from Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Talents: "To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery."

FYI: It's not "students" ... who, by the way, then become professionals and people with trained skills vs. taxpayers.

These people are taxpayers, too. You may not have a student loan, but you have an educated society that touches everyone's life, and the return is priceless.
A graphic showing politicians who had their PPP loans forgiven: Matt Gaetz, FL (476,000), Marjorie Taylor Greene, GA (180,000), Vern Buchanan, FL (2.8 million), Kevin Hern, OK (1.07 million), Roger Williams, TX (1.43 million), Brett Guthrie, KY (4.3 million), Ralph Norman, SC (306,520), Ralph Abraham, LA (38,000), Mike Kelly, PA (974,000), Vicki Hartzler, MO (451,200), and Carol Miller, WV (3.1 million). It says, " Republican members of Congress whose PPP loans were forgiven: [list with pictures of their faces] Every single one of them complaining about student debt cancellation are monstrous hypocrites." Where's the public investigation on how this taxpayer money was spent?

"This is not about right or left; it is about right or wrong. This moment transcends partisanship; it is a question of morality. Where do you stand?"

- Senator Cory Booker

Know where you stand, and stand there.
A quote from the great Toni Morrison that says, With an eye to the various brokennesses in the world, past and present, Morrison writes: "This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge -- even wisdom. Like art.

For those 'in the know', did you see what Escambia County, Florida, and Gay Valimont did last night? Apparently, that has never happened, and the last time a Democrat held District 1 was in 1992. Salt Life, y'all. 🏖️🐬

"Courage is contagious."
A photograph of Tank Man in Tiananmen Square in 1989, he demonstrates great courage by standing in front of a long line of tanks, putting his body between military killing and student protestors. WikiFact: "The Tiananmen Square massacre was caused by widespread protests in 1989, primarily led by students demanding political and economic reforms, freedom of speech, and an end to government corruption. The situation escalated when the Chinese government declared martial law and ultimately responded with violent military force to suppress the demonstrations on June 3-4, resulting in significant casualties."

Dear Wisconsin,
Times like these call for a little REM. 👇🏼

The stakes are much higher now. Get out and vote, not for the money but because it's the right thing to do.

Source: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
A graphic with a picture of Michael Stipe from REM and a quote from both Stipe and Tom Gilroy: "Literally every policy position of the Republican party can be explained in this light: Obstruction or denying equal access to healthcare, public education, equitable taxation, legal protection; obstruction or denying marriage equality, workplace safety, voting rights, a living wage; obstruction or denying a woman's right to choose, and a fair-minded Supreme Court that would value the freedom of the individual over the power of corporations – this is how you create a permanent aristocracy, where only the rich can afford 'equality.' If you're ok with America being changed like this, then do nothing, let it happen. If you're nauseated by it, VOTE. It's that simple." – Michael Stipe & Tom Gilroy

Ruth Ben-Ghiat shares vital information for Americans on 28 February 2025. The Republicans have the votes to impeach and indict. They are not helpless. They could unite and/or or unite with Democrats. Do the math! Start talking about it now.

Here's an example of Ground News' media bias distribution. 👇🏼
This graphic shows how Ground News displays its media bias distribution for a news headline or topic. You can see your bias and read articles that you may have never seen otherwise, and the best feature is the "Blindspot," where important news is not distributed very well to anyone.

I have something to share regarding "Mexican-American artists having greater freedom of expression" that is somewhat related, interesting and rare. It's churchy too. :)

"Santa Muerte (Holy Death) and Physical Death." Sister Death's placard to St. Francis in Chimayo that reads, "To die with the sacred joy of not having done harm to oneself nor to a single soul." Awesome. I think all Death Carts with La Muerte should have this quote with a mirror. DB in the wild. 👇🏼
