it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

“From The Depths,” William Balfour Ker
“From the depths” by William Balfour-Ker. A lavish party of the wealth is interrupted by an upraised fist breaking through their dance floor; underneath we can see the entire party venue is built on the shoulders of the marginalized and lower classes.

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
washingtonpost.com
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

I tried trout fishing for the first time today. Tangled the line and had to cut and retie it four times. Tried four different rigs. Caught nothing. Cared not one iota.

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.
 Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.

Inspection time! A Chaffinch has dropped by your feed to keep an eye on things... 👀 📷 @kiransimpson.bsky.social
A Chaffinch stands proudly on a mossy perch, its chest puffed out and head held high, as if overseeing an important inspection. Its warm orange breast contrasts with its soft grey-blue head, while its sharp gaze gives the impression that it’s carefully assessing the scene.

Agencies informed staffers they were preparing to cut their workforces by up to half, then followed up with letters offering voluntary separation incentives. The move aimed at scaring employees into accepting the offer.

Someone asked me how we stop this. We start with showing up on April 5. And then we keep showing up. We mobilize mass resistance of the American people and we take back our power and our democracy. But it starts Saturday. So join us. Find an event near you: HandsOff2025.com

Today showed us that 1. calling your reps and pushing them to act does work (Cory Booker), and 2. elections still matter (Wisc Supreme Court). Apathy and cynicism get us nowhere. The American people using every tool in the damned toolbox will win us our democracy. The power lies with us. Use it.
