It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

This video, better than stills, illustrates just how many people marched in Boston yesterday.

City hall plaza, filled from the JFK federal building, stretching across Cambridge St and all the way down Tremont St to Boylston.

🚨 Trump is heading to Mar-a-lago to GOLF all weekend.

This trip will cost taxpayers $3 million, or to put it another way, enough money for USAID to feed 300,000 starving kids all weekend.

Oh, a Sinclair station. Now I understand.
Channel 10 in Rhode Island just described Patriot Front, a white nationalist fascist movement, as a "counter protest" to yesterday's Trump/Musk rally at the RI State House. No mention that they were 15 in number - or anything other than the fact that they were pro-Trump.

🤡, SKUM, and their henchmen are going to end up killing us.
Trump officials have terminated more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration without realizing that they oversee America’s nuclear weapons.

They are now trying to rescind the terminations.
Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say | CNN
Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

Oh nothing, the kid who Elon allowed to access our sensitive information was a eugenicist who "was racist before it was cool."

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

A sitting Senator says this is a constitutional crisis; sitting House members have called this a coup.

I hope this is the story that leads every front page, every A block on network news, and fill that 24 hr hell cycle of cable news.
Sen. Chris Murphy: "There is no question the reason the billionaire class is trying to take over our government is based on self-interest."

"This *is* a constitutional crisis. Let's call it what it is."

AOC is absolutely right and seems to be the only elected Democrat who really get this.

We’ve been in a constitutional crisis since 2016 when — 269 days before the election — Mitch McConnell blocked President Obama from filling Scalia’s SCOTUS seat and everyone just… went along with it.
AOC spot on , this is what leadership looks like.
