The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.

Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Five Rules for Protesters (when confronted by police):

1. “Am I being detained?”
2. “Am I under arrest?”
3. “I want a lawyer.”
4. Be polite, follow commands.
5. Shut the fuck up.

Pro Tip:Turn off facial recognition on your phone. Police need a warrant to search a phone. Ask to see it.

One Marine.
One Guardsman.

One soldier with enough courage and integrity to publicly lay down their arms, renounce their orders and join the protestors.

That’s all it would take to start a movement and go down in history as an American patriot.

Is that you, soldier?

Join the resistance.

Ever felt the FBA for your child/student didn’t actually address the *true* underlying needs? If so, this session is for you!

We will analyze an #FBA and tease out where it is effective and where it falls short.

The #Dissonance is astounding.
Side-by-side images. On the left is a screenshot from NPR's bluesky account posted yesterday (3/31/25) with a picture that shows the logo of the Institute of Museum and Library Services on a sign in front of an American flag. The picture links to an article titled "Entire staff at federal agency that funds libraries and museums put on leave" and an introductory sentence: "The staff of the Institute of Museum and Library Services was placed on administrative leave this morning, following a meeting between IMLS leadership and DOGE staff." NPR's post comment states: "JUST IN: The staff of the Institute of Museum and Library Services was placed on administrative leave this morning, following a meeting between IMLS leadership and DOGE staff." On the right is a screenshot of the US Department of Education's bluesky account from today (4/1/25) with a picture of the inside of a library and text that reads: "School libraries are more than just a way to borrow books - they open doors to learning & a lifelong love of literacy! #SchoolLibraryMonth"

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov thank you for your thoughtful response. these are, however, not normal times. we are in the midst of a hostile takeover of our government. pithy protest signs and standing on decorum do not serve us right now.

we implore you to be loud and disruptive.

please fight.

The terms "Baseline" and "Present Level of Performance" are often referred to interchangeably. There are, however, important distinctions between the two terms; they are not synonymous.

#Trumpy strip #19 is now available.

fewer signs, more action please.

#ShineALight
four-panel cartoon of Trumpy (#19, volume 2), with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net", and "Vol.2#19 03-09-2025" in the bottom right corner. All panels depict Trumpy sitting at his desk with Vance, Hegseth, and Musk in the room to the right of the desk. The panels are exactly the same except for their expressions, and except for Hegseth who is pouring a drink in Panel 1, holding a full glass in panel 2, holding an empty glass in Panel 3, and pouring a fresh drink in Panel 4. The room has beige walls, a blue floor, large window behind Trumpy's desk, and blue curtains, drawn open. There is money scattered loosely about throughout the entire room and on the desk. Vance is clutching a large red book in his arms labeled 'Project 2025'. Musk is depicted with a red armband akin to a nazi armband but with the X logo instead of a full swastika. The end of Trumpy's tie is seen sticking out from under his desk, implying it is a really absurdly long tie. Panel 1 Trumpy speaking: "people are figuring it out! they see through the grift! they're calling out our naked power grab! the Dems will move hard on this... what's their play?" Panel 2 Trumpy speaking: "Well, so far they've sung songs, color coordinated their attire, and had cute little protest signs... ...they also censured one of their own for doing what one of ours got away with last year. something about "decorum" or whatever." Panel 3 no one speaks as they all sit silently dumbfounded. Panel 4 All four break out in laughter, the panel is filled with dozens of 'ha' words to represent the uproarious laughter in the room.
