From the Seattle Times: ========================= More details surface in Trump administration plan to cut national forests April 4, 2025 at 4:50 pm By Lynda V. Mapes Seattle Times environment reporter A Trump administration memorandum issued Thursday declared a state of emergency in domestic timber supply and national forest health, directing the Forest Service to suspend normal environmental reviews and increase logging on more than 100 million acres of national forest, including in the Pacific Northwest. The memo from the secretary of agriculture is a first step in implementing President Donald Trump’s March 1 executive order directing cutting of more national forests. The memo has the effect of declaring nearly 60% of all national forestlands to be in a state of emergency, thereby lifting the usual requirements for public comment and environmental review for protection of endangered species and cultural resources before logging. ============================= If this doesn’t depress, disgust, and infuriate you on some level, turn in your “human card”, because this news absolutely should shake you to your core.

We all know this is how the rich get richer. Every time, the finger is always on the scales for them.

God damned Senate confirmed Dr. Oz to head up Medicare. Are they out of their minds??

But I’m not sure that people do see that. how many times have you heard conversations where people talk about Musk as being a “genius”. It’s a head-shaker, much in the way people attribute Trump being a brilliant financial guy. (Both want to label themselves as “stable geniuses, which is the epitome of hilarity). Both of them are frauds, but there are always powerful entities who basically see them as being of use….,as fronts. btw, sorry for your news, MB.

….. and in other dystopian news, just a reminder that the final season of “Handmaid’s Tale” is on Hulu 4/8.

I’ve watched hours of it today (wasn’t working today).

That was an emotional last hour by Booker. The record by that klansman is broken. I am so proud of my senator.

Corey’s getting emotional reading the unknown soldier poem. Difficult to not also tear up listening. Thinking about Trump and Musk’s disdain for our military. Damn them. Damn their cuts to veterans programs. Damn them to hell.

He’s looking strong. I think if he wanted to go past 24hrs 18 minutes, he can.

He looks fairly strong now, his voice a bit weary, …. Reminds me of a kid who is trying like hell to stay awake and looks just a little punch-drunk. 🙂 But, about two years ago, he started a daily morning run routine which definitely (his assessment) has raised his stamina. I hope so. He’s pretty big man, size-wise. I am thinking he can break the record, maybe benefiting from a fourth or fifth wind. But, regardless of the record, I am proud of my senator. edited to add: looking like he has found that 2nd or 3rd wind. 😁

My Senator (Corey Booker) still at it. Over 16 hrs, started at 7pm last night. 💙 Thank you Corey

So, is this what we’re now going to spend the next couple of years doing?

There are no guard rails. There are no constraints. There are no consequences.

Unbelievably insane. 😢

Ok, that just made me snort-laugh. 😂 Post of the day. 🏆

“Freedom seeds”?? Is that a thing? Do people say that? The level of my disgust for these 6th grade boyz club dolts just grows daily. Yuck.

Exactly right

What a ridiculous clown show. Gee! You mean downloading and using an app from the App Store to conduct government military (…and other business.. because you just KNOW the whole lot of these idiots are using Signal to conduct chats for EVERYTHING) …. is not a good idea? We’re doomed. You know this, right? Because no one will actually stop them.

Did they ever….

This is what I’m seeing. He is just there to spew his usual verbal diarrhea of nonsense and lies after the fact. He’s not with his finger on any button, except the red one for his Diet Coke.

Trump’s response of “I know nothing about it”, is beyond comprehension. It is, in plain English, ****ing scary. He is out of the loop, and the inmates are running the asylum. They are all totally inept, all of them playing a game that has opened all of us to danger from the many nations out there that will cheer our demise and work towards it. …. And the GOP acting like “nothing to see here” is absolutely traitorous.
