PSA! 📢 The dept of Ed is planning to reclassify nursing, counseling, social work, & other degrees from "professional" to "graduate." This would cut in HALF the amount of loans students can take out & would undermine these vital, women-dominated fields. Sign to join the fight app.sosha.ai/s/STB8HpdT

NY17 Constituent and local social worker Emily Feiner was singled out and forcibly removed during Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall.
Why have Musk-backed PACs spent $10M on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race?
It's not just to uphold WI's abortion ban and gerrymandered maps.
Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line — a case that could be decided by its Supreme Court.
Follow the money.
I hosted #StrangerSongs today on #CKCU and you can hear the show anytime at…

The theme is #CanadianPlaces, a celebration of just some of the many places in our country, and a response to the despicable behaviour of the #OrangeFelon in regard to #Canada.
Hours after Donald Trump did a free commercial for Tesla on the White House lawn, Elon Musk reportedly announced plans to donate $100 million to a MAGA super PAC.
Money in politics has always corrupted, but it's hardly been this brazen.
Heading west this week with a show in Marietta, OH Thursday and back at the fantastic listening room, Acoustic Renaissance in Hinsdale, IL Saturday 3/15. There’s a special guest with me! Pat Fleming will be adding his master guitar work for the evening! For more info www. annehills.com

March has arrived, the angle of the sun shifts and you can see signs of spring!! If the rest of the natural world can keep struggling, adapting and working toward balance. Who are we to give up? Stop the oligarchy!
The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.
Read that back.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
If you haven't done your good turn yet today, there's still time. It really does make you feel great. It doesn't have to be saving someone from a flaming car crash, although of course that is always a good thing to do.
DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?
Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well.
His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel.
Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.
Projection, distraction, lies and greed. The emperor’s new clothes.
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
Thinking of opening my show with this song …

I’ve recorded the next edition of #SaturdayMorning on #CKCU.

Or tune in at 93.1 FM in Ottawa on Sat. Feb. 22, 7-10 am.
813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024.
The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth.
When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
fog dresses the land
pale light, soft as a silk veil
still winter hovers
It should not be lost on anyone that the vaccine that prevents measles, MMR, is the one about which RFK Jr. has spread the most misinformation. The head of HHS should be out front, strongly recommending MMR vaccine in Texas right now. But RFKJ can’t without admitting he’s been lying.
Sounds about right to me.
RFK Jr., FFS. Sounds like a degree. But, it isn't.
the dead of winter
comes and goes on a bird’s wing
dropping out of sky
