I’m a little late reading this, but thank you. Helpful and also a good reminder that there are people who are willing to stand up to this bullying regime.
Thank you so much for summarizing the institutions which I should be supporting and those which don't deserve my money or attention. I have cancelled Amazon and will soon do the same to Facebook. I also cancelled my Washington Post subscription about a month ago. Will they feel the loss? No, but I will feel cleaner. Costco here I come!!!
I worked in infectious diseases for 35 years. I just learned that the CDC web page that provided information on the RSV vaccine that health care providers can print and give to patients has been taken down. This is dangerous.
Also, the MEC site that outlined the criteria and safety guidelines for prescribing birth control has also been removed.
Ideas for whom to write to put pressure to put this valuable information back where the American people have access to it???
Dan, you are one of our worthy teachers along with the millions of unnamed citizens and people across the world who continue to work passionately + unceasingly to save our democracy. For the first time ever, we are encouraging our college aged daughter to carry her passport card in her wallet in case DHS does sweeps of campuses. She was born in and adopted from China but is a naturalized American citizen. I know other parents with kids through international adoption are doing the same + some prominent lawyers are recommending we do. I can’t even believe I’m saying this, and it breaks my heart and makes me cry. This in addition to all the craziness of everything else + calls from MAGA supporters to burn everything to the ground. My marching boots are ready for a nationwide strike + protests in every city next week. May God keep us safe + uphold our country. I'll just signoff with off with "Courage".
"It Continues": "All air traffic controllers resign at 'hugely important' airport".
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday that beginning this weekend, the San Carlos Airport, which lies along the final approach to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), will no longer have anyone manning its control tower. The resignations came after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reassigned controllers' contracts to a firm that pays less.
Thank you Dan, you TRULY are STEADY, and I have known you to be a trusted news reporter for most of my life. I have subscribed to a number of ethical new sources now, and wish I had more to give! Thank you, so much, for providing your fact based perspective at a time where it is desperately needed. I am steadfast in believing in the best of most people--even in the midst of all this corruption. I want you to know that your writing reinforces that and makes me feel less alone. Thank you for continuing to fight the GOOD fight! Thank you so much!
Republicans in Congress with a few exceptions have become spineless puppets to Trump. They are showing the American people who elected them they place their positions above their duty to the people and their loyalty is to Trump instead of the United States and the Constitution on which they swore their allegiance. I would say they should face the wrath of the voters in 2026, but I heard that before when women said they would punish those who took their rights away and then they did just the opposite. What is the breaking point? The people need to wake up to the reality that our nation is under siege by the billionaire oligarchy with the help of the extreme religious right and Trump as their frontman.
Aircraft Mid Air Collision at Ragan Last Night: The Military Should NEVER Conduct Any Kind of Training Flights Near a Very Busy Civilian Airport. Foolish & Stupid to have been permitted. People MUST DIE Before Anything Is Done To Correct The Cause Of The Problem. It's Always That Way. Terrible Collision, That NEVER Should Have Happened. What "Higher Up Authorities will be Held Accountable AND PUNISHED For This?? Thats Correct! NO ONE!!!
"Guantánamo Bay Plan": Donald is very "Smart"! Yes. Really. If he fills Guantanamo with more people than it can possibly handle, then, when he is Finally Sentenced to Prison/Exile, there won't be room for Him There!!
Thanks to all who stand up and shame on the jelly fish.

We just signed up for a Costco credit card so that we can get rid of our Target card.....as a Minnesotan so very sad to see them backing out of DEI...

A little humor
The Lassen Advocate, a newspaper in Susanville, California, published this joke in 1925:
It was in the year 2025. The United States had just elected its first woman president.
“Don’t you feel that your home life will be ruined?” the Inquiring Reporter asked her husband.
“My only regret,” he said with a sigh, “is that I have but one wife to give to my country.”
It Almost Came True.

These are wonderful and uplifting stories of people who will stand up. Thank you Dan, for being one of them.

Transgender youths deserve the same full medical benefits as any other human youth.
Thank you Dan. I was in despair until my husband sent this to me. I gladly subscribed to help cover those who cannot pay. Can't thank you enough.
What an inspiring way to start 2025. Recognizing those people, companies who are standing up to POTUS bullying.
