So, do you suppose ICE will pick him up when he enters the country? www.cnn.com/2026/10/27/a...

We just got back from a trip from Chicago to Boston and then from Bradley/Hartford back to Chicago O'Hare. I am reminded that the English word "Travel" has its roots in the French word "travailler" which means "to work". We are exhausted. #travel #language

A lot of war crimes.

ICE has issued a nationwide order directing all officers to stop pursuing people in vehicles. The policy change comes after ICE murdered two men in separate incidents less than a week apart in Maine and Texas.

Given the particular political times we are in, not only in the US but globally, hearing this piece from Les Misérables from 17 Jean Valjeans in a multiplicity of languages, and the history those languages represent, is quite poignant. It makes my eyes leak. music.youtube.com/watch?v=gpDb...

Hey Congress, u up?

What the hell is wrong with you people? madison.com/news/state-r...

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me. Here’s my message to Wisconsinites. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. ⬇️

NEW: Top federal watchdog says they have opened more than *three dozen* investigations to determine if President Trump violated federal law by improperly withholding congressionally authorized funds. Earlier, Dems estimated Trump has blocked more than $400b. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...

No matter how well you play, if you are consistently a bully on the neighborhood basketball court eventually the other kids won't invite you to the game and will play without you. We have become the bully and the rest of the kids are going to start enjoying b-ball without us. #tariffs #politics

PSA: Do not attempt #hamradio repairs after bed time

Ok #Wisconsin . This is a no brainer. The Wisconsin #aclu sent out a questionnaire to Crawford and Schimel to help us compare their #SupremeCourt candidacies. Take a moment and read their answers. How can we elect a judge who won't even answer? www.aclu-wi.org/en/publicati...

I tried to fact check this bizarre answer on @maddow.msnbc.com by trying to get in contact with DOGE. There’s no phone number or email publicly available. If a Member of Congress couldn’t get in touch with DOGE how do they expect anyone else to? www.thedailybeast.com/rachel-maddo...

YAY! Passed my #hamradio Amateur Extra exam this morning. KC9UNZ/AE

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Stopped at Barnes and Noble today and guess what they were selling. THEY'RE BACK!!

President Trump and President Musk need to get on the same page. After creating unnecessary chaos, they once again prove their incompetence.

While the Musk and Bannon #Nazi salutes are despicable and should be condemned we are missing the point of the gesture. They manage to control the narrative for yet another cycle. They throw out red meat and we spend valuable cycles talking about it. How do we control the narrative ourselves?

Ash Wednesday is still a week and a half away and shelves are already full of Chocolate Easter Bunnies.

We need to vote Wisconsin! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Thanks for some dose of hope. open.substack.com/pub/michaelm...

A good reframing of our work in the coming years. What I hear is that instead of spending our precious time observing The Don and complaining we need to turn around and keep our attention on the reality on the street and heaping those problems on The Don. open.substack.com/pub/newrepub...

Watching the State funeral for Jimmy Carter. Fascinating that nearly every sentence uttered is an antithesis of the incoming administration.

Yes, it looks like Vice President Trump didn't get all that he wanted today.

REALLY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE SHARE #ASafeChoice physicians WILL prescribe medication abortion via telehealth FOR WOMEN WHO ANTICIPATE NEEDING THIS MEDICATION. REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription. In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!

Some of the flowers at Olbrich Botanical Garden today.

Well, FWIW, I'm here. Looking around. It sounds like this was the twitter replacement that drove the social response to the South Korean martial law declaration. Gotta respect that.
