Another 5-alarm fire: Don’t allow Trump to damage/deconstruct the National Archives & Archivist of the US offices!
Article condensed & “memified” for sharing.

Do you know anyone wanting to interfere with the Electoral College vote? wipe out government regulations? change the Constitution? destroy or illegally retain government records, etc.?
With everything else going on, this hardly registered in top news stories. It is important to know that none of this is normal. No Archivist of the United States has ever been fired by a president.. (meme details functions of NARA & AOTUS & dangers to it from el Trumpo & minions)

If you were recently terminated as part of the layoff, please reach out to www.centerforemploymentjustice.com.

Terminating federal employees for purely political reasons is illegal.

@votevets.org is a great way to support Veterans running for office.
People who know what it is, to serve, & believe in leadership.
There are other organizations, but that’s our favorite.

But we have to stamp out of existence the quisling class of broken men in media, business, politics, and law. So many of our institutions have spent the last ten months demanding that we do the smart thing and simply surrender to tyranny. Rip them out and put actual leaders in

No one has asked me.

Yup, the NYT literally hired a reporter to plant puff pieces on Epstein! The NYC/DC media abetted Epstein because they were from the same social circles, circles that apparently do not have a problem with child rape. A page from HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (it gets worse from there...)

The politicians suddenly concerned about the "Epstein files" ALL had the opportunity to expose this case, get justice for the victims, and stop the perpetrators. The first Trump admin, the Biden admin, and the current Trump admin. Instead, they threatened and harassed anyone who brought it up.

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Been out and proud for 30 years now. Won't say it's always been easy, but I live my life on my own terms.

Today I'm thinking of those who face challenges for being who they are. And fighting for a better world. 🏳️‍🌈💙🏳️‍⚧️

Jim Acosta spoke to me about Donald Trump's cognitive decline: “We’re listening right now to the rantings of somebody who is just not all there.” But the reason this issue is not getting coverage is because "the corporate media in this country are paralyzed with fear.” youtu.be/_6k_8t26-RA?...

We are still fighting.
Russian efforts mean we are in a morass of disinfo.
I hope current events make us more mindful of our vulnerabilities.
We have a lot of work to do.

We were also starving our Native population.
I study Japanese martial arts, & dad’s family from darkest E Texas.
US is a schizoid.
What we accomplished in EU with the Marshall plan, we could have done here.
But no.
We wanted to look good on the world stage, & keep beating the kids, so to say.

Now with #AltText

A black background has white text at the top that says “amphifa.” Two flags over each other, common antifa flags, have a black flag and a green one. An image of a green frog facing left with a blue ascot sits on the black flag. Circling the flags is the text, “amphibians against fascism.”

Our last Master Naturalist class, we tagged & released several “fresh” monarchs.
One, from the hand of a little girl, who waited so patiently for the insect to get its bearings.
We all teared up.

Thank you @nytopinion.nytimes.com for publishing this rot. Marc Rowan has run hundreds of companies into the dust to extract profits from their failure and bankruptcies. Now he wants to do the same to American higher education. Do not believe a word this man says. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...
