Definitely need to pass this along both for the excellent peeps in the pack but to help amplify Marcie’s message.

@mlipsitt.bsky.social is right about protecting and preserving our kids’ rights just to BE. Add ā€œhealthyā€, ā€œhappyā€, ā€œeducatedā€, and ā€œlovedā€ as needed!

Thanks for the shout-out Amy!

Of course, the rank and file Republicans does take his cue from a champion!

Thanks buddy! I want the pull-string Trump doll on the golden toilet, though. It’s grosser, but more in line with the character! Kids love it!

What we are given to hold Every day, my inbox, as I’m sure yours, is replete with articles, substack posts, notes about the various hells being unleashed at any given...

before we click ā€œpostā€.

There’s more to this, of course, but I’ve found it beneficial to step away and not spend too much time posting stuff that while amusing or enraging, may only be serving to distract from more direct action.

We have a lot facing us. I hope this is useful in finding answers.

I really hope that, at the very least, you read you read Janus Rose’s article (link in my post). I’ve been off for a couple of reasons, but while I was, I realized she’s not wrong about how an addiction- for lack of a better word- to posting outrage may be cathartic but it’s worth reconsidering

Gotta repost this! Keith is doing some valuable work here and after a heavy run-in with ā€˜rona last fall (& a pal got hit with it returning from California recently), I can tell you we are very much not out of the woods. Long COVID is no joke and you can support Keith’s work here:

Hi Crys! I’ll definitely keep my ears awake on the 24th.

I know Forged in Fire very well; I’m the guy who used it for the No Kings In Houston soundtrack that you commented on.

I love your work & keep beating the drum for you!

Today’s CC’s birthday!? YAAAAAY!

I’d sing ā€œHappy Birthdayā€ but my singing is a crime against humanity. I’ll let these guys do a better job.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @chantingcrow.bsky.social ! And so much love and warmth!

The #Liz48 Plan: This Is How We Remove Them—Legally, Quickly, and Nonviolently The way to get rid of Trump—and his entire corrupt, inept Administration—is to cut the line of presidential succession. Here's the entire ten-step process.

@susankelly18.bsky.social , this is the article I’d mentioned and I’ll be folding some of Olear’s points into something soon.

almost weird. Olear does recommend filling in the blank with someone you might feel more credible but while this is a fascinating read, I wonder if it’s worth supporting. There’s a part of me that feels it is, but building a coalition to seed the idea and get the Dems to act on it? There’s a 2/3

Here is Greg Olear’s substack on how to remove the current Occupier and his cabinet, legally and quickly (his words).

I like the idea but a couple of things stand out. It would emphatically NOT be quickly. There has to be enough political will to follow through. Also, Liz Cheney? I find that

Ooooh, this is a good one! @financecharg.bsky.social is a gem (check his posts out) & to follow him (& the other luminaries here), just hit follow all!

You’ll be happy you did!

There is, Susan. I’ll track down that piece I read and put it up later and if I have time, maybe do a little analysis on my own platform.

I could witter on for hours on this, Mary!

(I think we all could, sadly.) For anyone with functioning cognitive ability, Trump is a wreck of a human. Cult-think is a disease and a third of our fellow citizens acted on it. Some are regretting their decision but enough aren’t. It’s an uphill climb.

Rep. Ansari Moves To Impeach Pete Hegseth, Judge Throws Out Trump’s Deportation Scheme, and MAGA Store Closes Due To Lack Of Sales Plus, Democrats flip Wisconsin Supreme Court seat

Morning reading #5.

This dovetails with something I was looking at a month or two ago. One idea is to go after his cabinet in a concerted manner and break the regime down that way. There’s more to it and I’ll run down the article later, but here’s to Rep. Ansari for getting the ball rolling.

I was pretty certain he wouldn’t drop nukes, but I was far less certain about bombing infrastructure even with thousands of Iranian civilians forming human chains around power plants, bridges, and more.

Well, if nothing else, Trumpy sure has helped a lot of people make friends…

Trump’s Imperial Military Budget In his recent military budget, Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: Waging war is more important to his administration than providing for basic needs at home.

Every time I hear or read some MAGA dupe praise His Mad Wannabe King, I want to throw stuff like this in their stupid faces. Of course, they’d tell me I just don’t get how brilliant he is. Yeah, damaged by critical thinking AKA ā€œTDSā€.

Can we please just remove the Orange Fuck-wit from office? Today, would be good. And tell him to take his cabinet with him.
