Now THAT'S an apple.

Gigantic apple sitting between a mouse and keyboard for scale. The apple is bigger than the number keypad and much bigger than the mouse.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

Best to just very slowly walk away. Maybe it'll forget you were there.

We need a timeline cleanse. Post a photo of the sun.

Late afternoon autumn sun in eastern Iowa, with accompanying sun dog!

Photo through a car window of a bright yellow sun, fairly close to the horizon, over farm fields in the distance. A sun dog is visible to the left, circled with drawing software.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

Federal agents invaded even the offices of The Crisis and the National Association for the advancement of colored people and asked searching questions: " just what, after all, were our objects and activities?” I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, “We are seeking to have the constitution of the United states thoroughly and completely enforced.” It took some ingenuity, even for Southerners, to make treason out of that.

Not a cloud...

View of Cornell College campus under a clear blue sky. Brick buildings line a wide walk made with pavers. Two trees just starting to change color. Stone chapel with steep roof and a tall clock tower behind.

Similar view as first picture, except showing more deep blue sky above and not showing wide walk.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This footnote to Illinois and Chicago's lawsuit against Trump is an important reminder:

* There is no Department of War or Secretary of War, which are make-believe names for the actual agencies created by Congress.
