I am so tired of Fox news lies. These people try day in and day out to destroy our country.

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Can't take credit for the awesome Amphifa logo, but the one I designed is free to use!

Here's a png with no background. You can buy sticker paper everywhere and use a normal printer to print them out!

We keep writing off Trump again and again, calling him senile and insane, and here he is getting credit for doing something, even I think might be helpful, showing up to give a speech in Israel.
He's a truly terrible human being, causing untold damage, but to completely dismiss him is foolish.

Bessent: "Trying to get leverage in front of a meeting with Donald Trump is a bad idea. And he turned the tables with his two very good tweets on Friday talking about raising tariffs and implementing any sanctions that we need to."

Watching Star Trek DS9, I feel like we are the Bajorans, under Cardassian rule, being terrorized and our society attacked.

Breaking News: The Trump administration continues to gut the Department of Education. Now they are targeting those who serve and support the education of children with special needs.

I've heard a rumor that there is, yes.

It does look like an interesting contribution. I recall Nancy Cartwright wrote about how some systems may be quantum and some classical in a way more complex than we've so far imagined. Also interesting to see how classical gravity could help, maybe connected to Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR theory?

This showed up on my skyline a few hours before I gave up searching for a new TV because all there's available is TV models with embbed AI that I have no idea what's for and makes it at least 30% more expensive

I rewatch the first episode of Star Trek DS9 and feel a sort of pride and optimism in America. I have to hope that the deeper, honorable vision and promise of America will triumph over these dishonorable imposters who claim to represent our country.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Amazing that Chicagoans can host a marathon safely, in a city that is a "war zone" and requires military intervention.

Strong work, Chicago! ✊

probably the masked unidentified ICE folks are aware that they would be unpopular with their friends and neighbors if they were publicly identified.
They are bounty hunters and it a shameful way to make a living.
If you know one, shame them.
And tell their mothers.

Why aren’t media outlets unmasking these scumbags?

Michael J. Kramer @michaeljkramer.bsky.social · 13h

Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

A lot of people related to my painting about Jewish history and Transcendental Meditation and about my process of creating these kind of work in progress mind-map paintings as I learn about an overwhelming, big topic. The physics paintings are easy to talk about. Pure abstraction is less easy.

Today's Open Studios was a lot of fun. My paintings are kind of all over the map, but I ended up talking to people who were interested in all different aspects. I was surprised how many people were interested in the paintings about my great grandfather. Maybe I'm just better at telling the story.

Not sure when I’m actually going to read this, but it seemed important to plug a hole in my reading about process philosophy. Gendlin writes about his work as building off of Merleau-Ponty.

Some day we will be done with him. I hope that day is soon.

I hate him

I hate his fucking face

I hate his fucking voice

I hate his burnt sienna fake tan

I hate his tiny anus-shaped mouth

I just fucking hate him so much but most of all, I hate what he’s done to our country.

Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.

ProPublica spoke to a dozen Venezuelan immigrants who said they followed the president’s instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.

“I Don’t Want to Be Here Anymore”: They Tried to Self-Deport, Then Got Stranded in Trump’s America

Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates. Those dates hav...

So thankful for activists on the front line. We need to keep learning how to support each other in this struggle.

We don't know how many people they took. The last update I got from a source I trust was between three and six, and they weren't even entirely sure about that range. ICE was also far more aggressive with our rapid responders today, pulling guns on at least three people and arresting one volunteer.

Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought.

"By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

Yes, he is very destructive. But there is much of great beauty and value about our country. Trump is a small man.
