Saw this at the local Binny's. Heard it's really good paired with bubblegum cigars. Can't wait for S'mores Bourbon and Pop Rocks Tequila.

In light of Trump II’s first 18 days of mayhem — including his and Musk’s coup against our system of government — many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list, in rough order of importance.

West Point leadership just disbanded and banned all clubs and organizations related to women, communities of color, and LGBTQ people — on orders from Trump. Cadets are also not authorized to take part in informal activities related to these clubs on campus.

DOGE wants to gut government agencies that protect you. If Elon Musk really wanted to rein in government waste, he'd close tax loopholes and end subsidies that benefit the ultra-wealthy and large corporations.

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities. Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America. itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-ta…

This is unbelievable. The Washington Post reveals that an aide working for Mike Johnson persuaded Republicans not to issue a subpoena for former WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified to the Jan. 6 committee—fearing it could expose the sexual texts many of them had sent her.

Won't sugarcoat it: This has been the shittiest start to any presidency in my lifetime. And I’ve lived through Nixon, Reagan, and George W. Bush. But there are heroes among us, and Bishop Budde is a shining example.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

RIP David Lynch

David Lynch, who directed off-kilter classics, dies at 78
His sinister, surreal vision of America made him a leading counterculture auteur — with movies such as Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart and Mulholland Drive, and the groundbreaking TV series Twin Peaks.
