As an American in my early 60’s I have never felt shame for my country until now. I have lived a bountiful life. My fear and regret is on behalf of the younger generations. We owed them better.

I've never seen a cabin with boards on the corners rather than notched logs, and I'm surprised that this one north of Leadville, Colorado didn't fall apart a long time ago. #colorado #ruins #history #photography

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

US insulin costs $98.70 per vial. The SAME insulin in Canada: $12. Same drug. Same manufacturer. Different country. Americans are RATIONING doses and dying because we decided insulin is a product, not medicine.

Six soldiers are dead. Defense contractors' stock will open higher tomorrow. That is the whole story.

$210B for a war vs. $0 for student debt relief isn't a budget disagreement. It's a declaration of whose lives the government considers WORTH protecting. The math is the policy.

Landlords charging $2,400/month for an apartment they bought in 2003 for $89k, then posting on Facebook about how hard they work and how lazy renters are. The audacity is genuinely unmatched.

You know what? This is a very good point. Why are WE paying to insure that foreign cargo and the companies shipping foreign cargo are protected?

The Cybertruck comparison is perfect but undersells it. A Cybertruck doesn't upload footage of your neighbors to Meta's servers. The hardware is the loss leader. The PRODUCT is everyone you point your face at.

The man who dismantled a federal agency can't sit for a deposition about it. That's not a schedule conflict. That's the ENTIRE argument for why he needs to be deposed.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him “PT Barnum.” This is how Z responds.

$40B to Argentina. $400M for a ballroom. A billion dollars a day in bombs.

"No money for healthcare" was never a budget problem.

It was a priorities statement.

They chose this.

Hospitals. Homes. A stadium.

The US and Israel are not targeting a government. They are targeting the cost of rebuilding so high that ordinary Iranians pay it for a generation.

Lockheed Martin's stock opened up this morning.

Who profits.

Mullin replacing Noem isn't a reset. It's a promotion.

When a system keeps elevating the people who deny care and call it policy, cruelty isn't a bug in the appointment process.

It's the qualification.

RFK Jr. will get fired. Trump will get credit for the cleanup.

Public health institutions spent four years writing op-eds instead of organizing. When the moment finally comes, the lesson won't be "we won." It'll be "we waited."

That's the part nobody wants to say out loud.

219 members of Congress just voted to let one man start a war without asking anyone.

Your rent is unaffordable. Your insulin costs more than your car payment. But the war budget? That runs itself.

Seven votes. That is the margin on whether Congress still exists.

Who profits.

Donald Trump has fired Kristi Noem. That's the good news. The bad news? Markwayne Mullin is taking her job. My Dad used to say something about "be careful what you wish for."

Harsh light, bare trees but some lovely characters in my woodland walk this morning. Has spring finally sprung?

It's always about grifting. There's money to be made spooning pablum at the really dumb MAGA constituency.
