MSNBC – Sure is too bad Missouri lost Claire McCaskill. But I’m grateful they elevated her first, anyway.
CNN – Happy to hear Acosta speak up on this. Maybe some will listen.
Tornado Siren? (I’m getting tornado warnings here between thunderstorm warnings now. ‘Tis the seasin.)
Beau on UFO’s
Keith Olbermann – The fact is, whatever we do, people are going to get hurt. We need to be sure the people who want fascism are the same ones who get hurt – or at least, hurt the most.
Glenn Kirschner – more on grand juries (I think I can figure out why “23”)
Meidas Touch – One more with Charlie Sykes
The Lincoln Project – mot, IMO, their best
Lawrence and Lawrence on MSNBC
Now This News – another everyday hero.
Rob Rogers work in progress
Yes, I know it’s a commercial. Humor me to the end,
Beau – “Let’s talk about ex-cons, self-doubt, and organizing….” is actually for one (anonymous) person – so powerfully that I needed a hanky … and I think it has stuff anyone can learn from
Glenn Kirschner – Implications of Greenberg’s Guilty Plea. One thing this suggests to me is that he may also be able to give them other witnesses to minimize his need to testify in person.
Meidas Touch – Rick Wilson on personalities
A new project is coming – The Franklin Project – here’s the beginning.
Ring of Fire – Yes, this is funny. But also sad.
The Red Dot (Trailer)
Beau on the 1033 program. We don’t hear the saying much any more “You can’t legislate morality” (and maybe we should.) But maybe we should also add “You can’t legislate intentions.”

Presidential historian Jon Meacham reacts to a new POLITICO report
Now This News – Katie Porter on fossil fuels
Rick Wilson on Bill Maher – Bill did not post this, but The Lincoln Project did.
Parody Project – “Envirnmentally resigned”
Guard cat defends mail slot
Beau: “Let’s talk about why Biden turned left….” I think Beau is missing (perhaps because of his youth) the fact that President Biden gre up in the 40’s and 50’s (whereas I gre up in the 50’s and sixties), but we both grew up into an emerging middle class which could not have existied but for social democratic programs. I think that’s the status quo he was running on returning to, even though it wasn’t specifically identified as such.
Glenn Kirschner – More on Rudy and Search Warrants
Glenn Kirschner – Judge Jackson and Bill Barr
The Lincoln Project – “Mourning in America” one year later (no CC – and the transcriotion site is borked – I did try)
The Republican Accountability Project – Liz Cheney
Lakota Peoples Law Project – Needed to be said.
Top Ten Cat Superpowers
Beau on spurious correlations (the one I always trot out is that the number of teachers in the United States correlates very strongly indeed to the number of alcoholics in the United States – because both correlate to total population.)
The Lincoln Project – Well, this is interesting. I believe it’s called “stiring the s***.”
Meidas Touch – “Impressed?
Really American – Mo Brooks
https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/sign-the-petition-fire-postmaster-general-louis-dejoy
Glenn Kirschner – I’m glad he’s taking this up … and has information on a petition (which I’ll spare you tracking down through Twitter)
Earth Day – “Trash TV” – Every time this video is watched, it will fund the removal of one piece of plastic from the ocean. I don’t know for sure if that is true for embeds, but you can always click through just in case.
LPLP – “Welcome home, Rattler! Michael “Rattler” Markus, “who served during the NoDAPL protests as an Akicita (defender), positioned between police and water protectors to keep everybody safe, was arrested in February of 2017. He subsequently accepted a plea to a civil disorder charge stemming from his presence on Oct. 27, 2016 — when law enforcement assaulted unarmed water protectors with sound cannons, tasers, bean bags, rubber bullets, and pepper spray.” Sprry about the spring plains wind, which can be heard throughiut.
IMPORTANT This is long, but if you watch even a little, you are likely to learn something you didn’t know (but may have suspected.) There’s even more news available because, of all people, archaeologists have been telling some tales. Google “Dimona” (or “archaeologists Dimona”) for that. I apologize that the CC is less than perfect, but it’s pretty close.
Georgia Voting Law – unbelievable.
From yesterday – no one is more moving to me than the King family members. (And there’s no ad at the end, so it’s all good)
My bestie in Florida is probably beating her head against the wall in frustration – she knew all this for years At least she says she’s safe (her home)
VoteVets – held over from yesterday because the last thing we needed on Easter was more Gaetzgate.
Now This News – Infrastructure Plan, Readers Digest version. No, it’s not enough, but it’s a heck of a good start.
Really American, now crediting Chip Franklin (makes sense to me)
OwlKitty vs. Godzilla. Short dialog at the beginning: “We need OwlKitty to stop what’s coming.” After that, just some sound effects and a little purring.
How could I post a video thread today with out a prank? And this one is epic – an epic fail, that is.
