Astonishing the lies and untruth
It would be nice to see bridge building rather than a demolition effort at every turn This is where we are
What’s up is down, what’s down is up
OMG -your team too… Dr Monarez … This is a sad day … I would never trust someone dealing in dead bears and whales, eating dogs and taking his grandchildren swimming in posted polluted water But apparently others do trust that or are not impacted
A round up of some interesting menopause content including hormone levels, articles on misinformation, and a great interview on testosterone with a true world expert vajenda.substack.com/p/gyn-potpou...
And yet another American hero… Thank you for your courage Dr Monarez We knew we’d be walking down this continuum, but never would have imagined the malignancy
And women shall lead
This flyer encapsulates what is wrong with gerrymandering if some states do it, fair & honest elections are tanked laudable CA has put itself in the correct camp by appointing independent commission until there is more equitable compliance, all are punished by bad actors ( looking at you TX)
Gov Pritzker: "The state of Illinois is ready to stand against this military deployment." "To the members of the press, I am asking for your courage." "Mr. Trump, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted not needed here." open.substack.com/pub/deanobei...
Another of our bold Governors , thank you for continuing to speak truth to power
Thank you Aaron, you are an American Superstar
If we all lift a little wherever, whenever we can it lightens the load fir all of us, and we don’t need as many heroes. We bloom where we’re planted and do what we can, we can’t all do big big things but we can all do somethings.
These are not serious people in any manner, shape, or form
Great idea!
Pot kettle?
www.elias.law/team Heroes all
And that’s just attorneys and growing … doesn’t count clerks or paralegals .. they are a busy busy bunch
Legendary and sacrificing so much for all of us
Absolutely-frickin-lutely no question
America is blossoming with greatness, again
When the story is told and we have time to breathe on the other side of this storm, Marc Elias will be one of the celebrated heroes
open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita... There are a few and State AGs as well
Mark this is where your strong advocacy can help The big(huge) for profit insurance co’s are an enourmous problem -squeezing patients at one end providers at the other It would be groundbreaking to have cost containment for health care that is not synonymous with denials & shortshrifting providers
Funny that the appropriate skills and the Trumpian/far right agenda are in conflict Who would have thought being a well accomplished academic would be in conflict with right wind ideals…
Sounds like someone is educating him on what he’s signing …
Trump has to look very hard to find skilled team members, Those with aligned skills and experience, are unwilling to put Trump over Country With that loyalty thing, seems he must dig in the semi-seamy spots to find folks In the past our Allies have expected our best & brightest, but no more

Sometimes you have to outgame a gamer to win. If the cause is significant enough it seems outdoing the cheaters in their own game is just quite simply the right thing to do These times call for such measures
Goes for all Governors who believe in the Constitution
50 years huh? Truth be told, many of his actions breech tradition/law/American Norms that date to the Constitution and the Revolution nearly 240 and 250 years ago respectively These breeches are not his alone but belong to his whole cabal and army sycophants and fanboys Ugh
This is appalling -their heroics inmission are tarnished by this My father was a Coast Guard pilot help mostly but some fixed wing … He died shortly before the Herculean efforts with Katrina… he would have been so proud This ICE crap? No so much, tarnishing a Legacy of safeguarding people… 😢
Dots what dots? He sees no dots
Respect is not a synonym for bias towards
I believe they respect the President generically; the role , the office Alina respects the Man or at least pretends to, and doesn’t respect the office, nor does Donald Trump or the rest of his minions If DJT respected the role , we would not be where we are today…
Based on governors I believe
My father used to say stupid things die of their own weight. God love him, he was right. But I’m glad he did have to see this stupid thing Thoughts are with those who have been harmed by the evil and disastrous place
Sit her down NJ
These creatures have no bottom
Opportunistically implemented with little regard for the political contradiction
What do the shareholders think on this one?
Came to add this!
Scapegoating has become endemic Nothing like punishing the innocent If Hegseth had an IQ two points higher he’d be on the scale as a plant
Like she has no dog in this hunt… Probably has her sound bites on index cards
Gotta wonder what it looks like under that glob of goo, must be pretty bad if this is a better option
It’s loud and bot fueled There is little room for thoughtful or civil discourse Although disappointlingly this place has become a bit less civil Bound to happen serious times stir serious feelings
Thank you JB for your everyday leadership and for the example you set for other prominent Dem office holders
There have been significant driver shortages nation wide for decades That shortage has created opportunity/jobs As a supply chain expert I have felt good about the influx of intl drivers It fills the demand and eases logistic pressures
Ha ha ha
Still more voices … Boston’s Mayor Wu as well Thank you from a Californian
Vergogna …
In the swanky new USCoast Guard jet
I find it a touch comforting that ICE/CBP is unable to hire what they need/want completely… Turns out not everyone is enticed to come under the tent I’m sure they’ll continue to hire plenty but glad it isn’t so easy
Like those pesky airports during the Revolutions… Who could have thought we’d get here
Ugh … so vile and antithetical to what most of want to believe us our United States
Dumb and wasteful , comes from under a leader who considered Nuking a hurricane These folks do love their own creativity
You are so right… Movement building and waiting eagerly for leaders and scaled connection
Dont hafta buy a MAGA hat any red ball cap is ruined My favorite cap of of several is red… but not likely wear it again for a long time if ever.
Many of us do … just not the correct ones
Thank goodness for the dog ‘s sake
Very smart …
Except for the last 5-6 years and that’s a really low bar…
Cuomo should stop embarrassing himself and his family
We are America! We are standing up for Democracy. 🇺🇸
We are a movement waiting wanting to know what to do… waiting for leaders Two moved me today leaders and patriots Mayor Wu and the National Guardsman who spoke out about how wrong the DC deployment is his oath to the Constitutiin and the country Brave and impressive
The crowds have drifted away, you can’t get it back … you are a has been that screwed up big time
We are a large in number movement … looking for leaders Have hope the leaders will emerge with large and small acts of faith, hope, patriotism and courage Once we see the leaders the movement us there … One becomes several in the TX state house
So coerced Nationalization of an American corporation Who has been screaming socialism communism and what not Sit down Lutnick
Thank you for showing up and speaking up… your voice is so important. American hero here folks
All about appearances All hat ( and mask) no cowboy, as the saying goes
Make sure we all weigh in on this crap with our votes first and foremost We must force the rest of his elected supporters to either go on record or to visibly dodge so all can see… Not on this alone but in all these outrageous stunts
Uff Da ! As I’ve commented before, trust the Norwegians… they’ve got this hands down
No bragging rights here, unless Texas wants this Would be interesting to have a fair shake at what the people think , men, women, and where in the continuum of women’s healthcare they fall.
This is beyond gross
Hear hear…. Say it louder for those not listening and say it again and again
Nice story too bad it’s not credible
My ch easier to remember that pretty PM they used to have I’m sure
If he tries to terminate early like he did with Zelenskyy, it will be telling indeed
Trump wants to appear all-powerful, but he is an unpopular lame-duck president.
Technology exists … remember Face IDs were supplemented so one did not have to pull down mask to access phone etc.
Yeah like that 😉
Maybe the Swedes can cobble something gaudy and glitzy for him. To help soothe the disappointment he will have when the Norwegians give the Nobel to a deserving person
Politikk Kilder til DN: Trump tok opp nobelpris i tolltelefon med Stoltenberg Ut av det blå, mens finansminister Jens Stoltenberg gikk på gaten i Oslo, ringte Donald Trump fra Det hvite hus. Han ville ha Nobelprisen – og diskutere toll.
Actions have consequences More actions? More consequences
A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: A friend recommended this song, a number-one hit in 1978 that won Anne Murray a Grammy. See you around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3k_...
Heres a hint Trump was 7 of 8

Googles no better so if you don’t buy from one knee-bender you buy from another
Texans… make this crap stop, make your elected official represent your interests … you have a say.. speak with you feet… VOTE
💯 Team Jack
We’ve got to keep our eyes on the forest… There are definitely trees to focus on and they should be There is just so much material
daughter of career USCG Pilot/officer thankful that my father is not alive to see this 😟 lost him in early ‘05, later in ‘05 came Katrina; he would have been so proud of USCG & role it played This dishonors those in service past & now, more so even the crews ordered to do this Sad & outraged
Thank you Amy … even if regionals is the right answer we must pragmatically determine the location. Serving the enormous agricultural engine that is the west coast from Salt Lake seems like a very “lame” and costly decision
I’ve wondered where people’s voices are I sympathize with the fear, & struggle with defeatist inertia, these are folks with podium access We need to continue to bloom where planted if we are brave enough to do the small things, & no one has to be a hero The math of numbers works
This is a severely damaged person
American Heroes
Gross
Bad wiring in that one…
