I'm on a ride through eastern Nebraska right now. The United States could source all its needs for steel by recycling all the junked cars and farm equipment out here. I'm dead serious.

If you warn people about nitrates in drinking water, people don't understand; but if you use the words "pig shit", they get it right away.

Let's. Fucking. GO.
If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

Shopped in a Joann Fabric store for probably the last time. I am sad, but I think I'm going to have to get used to that feeling. And anger. So much anger at the wealthy fucks who ruin lives by gambling with other people's money.

It's a constitutional crisis and a coup, y'all. The longer we hesitate to admit this, the more trouble we are in.
White House defying court orders, persisting with illegal action, and usurping Congress’ power of the purse, which would effectively end checks and balances. If that’s not a Constitutional crisis, what is?
Sorry, media, but like climate change, Constitutional crisis is out of “some say” territory.

We aren’t quite to the point of a direct and explicit defiance of the courts by the Trump admin. But the doomsday clock on our democracy ticks forward with this declaration from a federal judge.

![screenshot from the Idaho Statesman:
“Homicide laws should apply equally to the preborn,” [State Sen. Brandon] Shippy said, noting that he views laws on abortion in stark terms. Either the fetus has a “right to life” that the state should protect like any other life, he said, or the state has no business interfering in a woman’s pregnancy at all.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information.
This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges.
