Yes. This is nicely put. One thing I try to get at in this piece is that having Trump threaten genocide and civilizational erasure, and the discovery that we are largely powerless to stop a madman president, takes an immense dispiriting toll on the *American people,* too.

193 million acres of U.S. national forests—an area larger than Texas—are being reshaped under Trump’s sweeping overhaul of the Forest Service, including closing offices, cutting research, and centralizing control, raising alarms among conservationists.

So disappointed in all of you that did this. It will be a cold day in hell before I spend a dime in district 14.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

“Though Trump rarely speaks clearly, this threat would appear to meet the definition of genocide under the 1948 United Nations convention: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.”

The reason it's important to call out the theater of negotiations pivoting around Steve Witkoff (besides to hold Witkoff accountable in the shit-show that followed) is bc the promised escalation has ALWAYS preceded the purported deadlines.

Last month, the Department of Homeland Security snapped up an empty warehouse on the outskirts of Salt Lake City for $145.4 million—paying nearly 50 percent more than the property’s 2025 assessed value. @nickmiroff.bsky.social reports on ICE's spending spree:

A war powers resolution will not be enough. Yes. We need to assert congressional authority and stop this illegal war in Iran. But, Trump is clearly an unstable warmonger at odds with the will of the people. Removal is the top priority. No more war criminal in the White House.

Donald Trump Jr. in Banjaluka (Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia) today: "Orban is a fighter for Western values, people must do everything to prevent communists from taking over Hungary."
Communists?! About four decades late for a Red Scare, dontchathink, Junior?

A federal court recently upheld journalists' First Amendment rights by ruling that DHS used unlawful force against reporters at LA immigration protests last year.

"Say goodbye to electricity! And wait for large-scale blackouts." Iran threatens to destroy the entire energy system of the Persian Gulf countries in the event of an escalation.
70-80% of the Gulf's power plants are easily reached by Iran's missiles and drones (indicated on image).

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections.
If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

Just watched @jonossoff’s latest speech and was reminded of what real leadership sounds like. Articulate, passionate, and grounded in what America is truly about. We need more voices like his.
I have so much admiration and respect for him.
