This should be the legal hook we need to get them out! Either they're standard infrastructure or they are experiments. We don't want experiments in our communities!

So they are officially experimenting on our communities? I feel like this could be exactly the legal hook we need to shut them down! Also, as someone who's collected tax paperwork for a San Francisco company, they use that phrase A Lot on their taxes.

Big news: Donald Trump has spent the past 18 months misappropriating taxpayer dollars for personal gain. I'm not just a journalist. I am also a lawyer. I map out exactly all the ways Trump misused taxpayer funds, and how a future prosecutor, or a future Congress could investigate him. Subscribe:

Major Deep Dive: Trump Is Defying Congress' Power of the Purse. Here’s a Roadmap for Investigating His Misuse of Taxpayer Funds
He was once forced to pay $2 million for misusing his own charity's money for politics. Now it's the federal Treasury. Here's the roadmap Congress needs.

Ordered this switch plate for the light switch in the new “cat corner.”
Switch plate decorated with a stylized black cat. The background is beige. Turquoise starbursts accent the background. Gold starbursts & turquoise dots accent the black cat.

What an amazing event yesterday! Tom Morello brought together Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, and so many others at the Power to the People festival to speak up against Trump and remind us this country belongs to all of us.

Clean air is now a “burden.” Trump’s EPA announced it will reconsider smog-control requirements for parts of Texas after Gov. Greg Abbott pushed for relief. This comes as Abbott declared a diesel price “disaster” and separately requested waivers for cleaner diesel standards.

Senate Republicans didn't do their job. They were meant to act as a check and balance and they let Trump do WHATEVER he wanted. DOGE making random government cuts, a tax cut we couldn't afford, billions and billions sent overseas, an unnecessary war in Iran, illegal tariffs...NOW IT IS TIME TO PAY.

Senate Republicans are suddenly rushing to save a Senate seat in Kansas. On Friday, the Senate Leadership Fund, Senate Republicans' top super PAC, reserved over $8 million in ads starting this weekend to prop up GOP Sen. Roger Marshall.

If New York’s voluntary intoxication loophole strikes you as victim-blaming, you’re not alone; advocates of sexual assault victims and a majority of New York’s State Assembly members have long condemned the law for exactly the same.

Good morning🍂 On yesterday's walk I stopped at this pretty spot & thought of how Mother Nature weaves the most intricate tapestries and then how, with such graceful ease, she unties them... Happy day to you, friends🕊️ can you find the owl? #nature #photography #autumn #change #lifeisbeautiful
A busy scene at a local garden. Rhodies, willows, birch, maples all planted closely together and in various stages of autumnal change. The garden is planted around a large pond that is incredibly low for this time of year. Vegetation grows atop the pond which also holds fallen red maples leaves.  Hoping for a little rain around this joint!!!

MAGA is OBSESSED with presidents who are crooks. They elected Trump twice and now they're spending tax dollars to rewrite RICHARD NIXON'S legacy. They're revisiting Watergate because it's the only time that a president's party has told him to stand down. And that's something they're incapable of.

It feels like they wanted to be proud of something. And they were told they were special, so they went along with the people who said that. I agree that we need properly funded education, if people are to do better. But we also need aspirations that make sense.

In 1970, students in a fifth-grade class at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write a letter to someone they admired, asking them “What makes a good citizen?" So 10yr old Joel Lipton wrote to Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. Joel got a reply.

They've been defecting since then. And the Jan 6th insurrection finally woke my father up. But they are also in Oklahoma. That is a very, very red state. I'm working with my sisters on calling their reps. They aren't people who easily talk to the government.

The non-voters are interesting. I feel like it's a deep learned helplessness. Talking to them is wild. It's very much "all politicians are the same" kind of crap. And I am baffled how this seems "the same" to them. My family votes. And before 2016, I was the only non-republican.

Weirdly, a lot of Americans have been choosing what to believe from an Internet chock full of lies for quite some time. I think it's why gas prices are the only thing breaking through. Though I think the Canadian boycotts are the other thing they can actually see. I want us to be better.

I don't think we disagree on people who can see the boat and choose to fire. They are responsible. I'd like them handed over to international court. But I wonder about the support crew. You do bad things with a few willing people and a whole system that isn't set up to see, think, or rebel.

ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM. A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

Yeah. And I think the button pusher is done. The people who picked the target are responsible. I'm just picturing the people in the engine room or the cook. You're right that many people make a ship work. How do we handle accountability?

Whalen @timeformoretea.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Okay. So you think that the normal crew should be able to evaluate the target? I know they all get taught a lot about the law. But I struggle with what I think they know and how I think a responsible soldier should respond. Mutiny? Run away to Canada? We know suicide attempts are way up.

Whalen @timeformoretea.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I know I think they were killing civilians because they have lost their minds and never had any morals or ethics. But now you've got me wondering how responsibility for this should work. I know our government is lying constantly, but all the people with power are cowards or corrupt. It's nuts.

Whalen @timeformoretea.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I believe they sunk them with rockets or drones... Though I suppose that's something I'm assuming. Did they pull alongside them first? I really don't know how much the whole boat has awareness of a target.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.
