Oh. So Tulsi Gabbard wrote a report showing that voting machine vulnerabilities didn’t flip any votes. And now she’s not the DNI anymore. Hmm. www.reuters.com/world/white-...

The report does not say the vulnerabilities have led to votes flipping.

It is an obscene, irrational, irresponsible, and unprecedented massive increase in military spending not seen since 1942 after we entered a World War on two fronts with a small military. It also comes at a time when our national debt accelerates and zooms past $40 trillion.

(🚨) We’re mere *hours* from a constitutional crisis of historic proportions—and many Americans don’t seem to realize it.

Why? Because nearly no corporate media outlet will properly report on it. So please consider sharing this new report widely.
Trump’s Second Iran War Becomes Illegal May 1
Contrary to claims by the New York Times, U.S. law doesn’t grant Trump authority to “give himself an extension” on a war already illegal under international law. His Iran war becomes illegal on May 1.

Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia.
Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources.

I strongly oppose Maine’s pending transgender referendum - which targets and demonizes vulnerable children for political reasons. It’s important to always combat discrimination in any form and wherever it’s found to exist. #MEpolitics

Some time back, at the request of @mullinmeg.bsky.social, I pulled together a whole host of maps derived from the Census of Governments that Census once published but seemingly no longer does.

I’m currently sticking them in a lecture—the reason I assume most people want these maps—and so can you!

This isn’t an accident. Recreation was once given equal weight alongside energy extraction in public lands management. The Trump administration has quietly erased that. Drill, baby, drill even if it means bulldozing a trail that took decades to build and belongs to all of us.

Trump makes a profane post threatening genocide on Easter, trashes the Pope for refusing to worship him, and posts a depiction of himself as Jesus healing the sick.
