I really want to go back to enjoying puppies and kittens and stupid dad jokes online but our country is so messed up right now it's difficult to enjoy the simple pleasures. That said, I know I have to try. Without joy we don't have the energy and resolve to stand up for decency and democracy.

I just saw AOC point to the camera and say she was speaking for me. I'm a long way from her district but she was right! She is speaking for me!😊

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.
In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.
Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The Bush administration disappeared people too, sent them to a different gulag at Gitmo and other black sites, kidnapped people off the street of Milan, tortured them, in the name of "a different kind of war."
We didn't come close to holding them accountable.
We're seeing the cost of that now.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

It's been a rough week for the NOAA family, including feds, contractors, and scientists across this country / world. I need to say something very important.
It is my motivation to get you the weather, water and climate data you need, regardless of what has, or will happen to us.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Does anyone even remember the fact that war plans were sent on personal phones using an insecure app with 2 people in the chat who did not have security clearance. The shit rolls in so fast that to keep up, we let some things slide. But that was a big one. I haven’t forgotten.

The reason I'm hitting myself in the head with a big cartoon mallet is that the people who told me not to do that were condescending. "That's gonna hurt dumbass" they sneered. Well it doesn't hurt and in fact I think it may be helping my asthma

Members of Congress must serve their constituents, not their own financial interests. We need a stock trading ban on Congress, and I cosponsored legislation to do it.
