Wow. This is how to make a damn point:

Two great infographics, from London's Tube.
Times Square, New York.
A rally in support of Ukraine 🇺🇸💙💛
“America doesn’t owe Ukraine anything”
You sure about that?
Ah. Brazil! Where attempted coups are probably still illegal. How quaint!
Enjoy!❤️
Where to next?
Oh look! This is a thing that can happen!
... In a country that emerged from a military dictatorship just 40 years ago.
Imagine that.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.
Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.
EXCERPT: At least two database entries have been added by one of the coders to say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.” Both pages are still visible hours after 404Media published its report.

How hard would it be to write a browser plugin to eliminate the letter T from every website? I mean, if we're going to do this, let's be serious about it.
I'm sure rump would appreciate it.
As my last trip to support family in NJ nears, I'm happy to know that I will never *need* to go to NJ. I may choose to go, some years down the line. But my many years of shuttling back and forth are done.

IDEA: Let's declare Feb. 17 #ResidentsDay, celebrating EVERYONE living in the US -- including migrants, refugees, queer & trans ppl, indigenous ppl & ppl of color, ppl w/ disabilities, unhoused ppl & everyone who's part of what REALLY can make America great: Community! (emphasis on "unity").
Thus it begins. Stay safe people. Stand up and show up for communities under assault.
Also, give bigoted and potentially armed instigators and intimidators room to retreat. That helps keep communities safe.

So why are we going tariff slap-happy? Oh right, because Mexico, Canada, and China have been flooding the US with fentanyl.
Hmmm, and how do a lot of black market narcotics get to the US (or two people who import them to the US)? Silk Road.

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them.
Celebrate thy diversity.
Love each other.
If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.
Tonight I am grateful to close out an unbelievably busy day having done important work, supported family members, enjoyed excellent company, and savored homemade soup. Now I'm relaxing with mint tea, a good novel, and a good jazz album.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
