John Lewis, Fannie Lou Hamer (z”l both) and Joan Mulholland are my action and spirit guides; drive my choices of advocacy. Long COVID caused forced work stoppage. The Disability Pride pins were created by a friend’s sister, a disabled artist.

Trump's Soaring Gas Prices are a "Good Thing" for Anyone but You Trump claims “we” stand to make a ton of money off the war in Iran. But the “we” does not include you.

$250M more this week than 30 days ago on gas. Who reaps the rewards? Not us. He doesn’t even mean US. open.substack.com/pub/briantyl...

At a Warehouse With No Water Plan, Six Toilet Trailers Just Appeared Under federal safety standards, the units could serve up to 1,500 people — the same number the facility is designed to detain.

How many #toilets and how #GallonsOfWater are US taxpayers on the hook for to harm lives AND the #environment, and like everything else, illegally?

Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the war’s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

Whaaaa? $5.6B in munitions in the first days of the #IllegalWar? Think of how the US defends itself - more what #education, #housing, #healthcare it would cover. Insanity runs rampant. wapo.st/4ufU1cV (gift to read but not a good gift.)

How a DHS shooting of a third U.S. citizen went unnoticed for months No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed Ruben Ray Martinez until it was revealed in a public records request.

What Trump REALLY Thinks About His Iran War What’s (likely) going on in the president’s head.

When #WilliamKristol “does Trump”, it’s yugely on target. As #Iran war engulfs (intended) more, it’s all less clear of the targets. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Live updates: What D-FW voters in the Texas primary are telling us Texas voters will choose Republican and Democratic nominees in high-profile races, including the U.S. Senate and Texas Attorney General.

AH, #Texas - no one is surprised about your work to make the #Primaries fraudulent by changing voting places and turning people away. www.dallasnews.com/news/electio...

Neil Sedaka, singer, songwriter and pop hitmaker in two eras, dies at 86 He rose to stardom with hits like “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” then made a roaring comeback with “Laughter in the Rain” and “Love Will Keep Us Together.”

I had a crush on #NeilSedaka and it wasn’t until years later after my teens I learned about the meaning of his last name. May his memory be for a blessing. wapo.st/401YIcg

U.S. Embassy in Israel advises nonessential personnel to leave ‘TODAY’ The departure warning came amid ongoing threats of a U.S. attack on Iran and the high probability of Iranian retaliation against Israel and U.S. forces in the region.

If “non-emergency staff” at #USEmbassy in #Israel have permission (directive?) to leave, how bad will the counter attacks be? wapo.st/4slkJix (gifted) US or Israel firing first to provoke?
