The descent into the unconscious is always dangerous. It can be visualized as being devoured by the whale-dragon, as going down into a dark cave or into the castle of the evil magician. We go there to get something. As a rule, it is a valuable treasure or a precious stone.~Jung
El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
Mainstream media isn’t talking about it, but bulldozers and construction crews have descended upon Texas’ Big Bend National Park as the Trump administration moves forward with its border barrier project. The project will permanently damage one of our nation’s greatest natural treasures.
Eighty-one years ago on Thursday, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, reducing the city to ruins, killing tens of thousands of people and bringing the world “face to face with the catastrophic power of nuclear war”.
Today the New Mexico Truth Commission issued their first interim public report on their investigation into the Epstein case in New Mexico and Zorro Ranch. There is a long way to go & we will continue to stand with survivors. You can read the report here: static1.squarespace.com/static/6a075...
The Fort Lawton Redevelopment Project will convert a former Army base into 500 affordable housing units. I was proud to secure $850,000 for this project in the 2026 budget. This is such an important project to keep people housed and safe.
The chord change is happening today! The John Cage Organ Project Halberstadt's new chord means this 639-year project is about 4% complete. More from the AP here: apnews.com/article/john...
This organ will play one composition until 2640. It's redefining how slowly music can be played
A small organ in eastern Germany is the headliner of the world’s slowest concert. It has been playing the same piece of music by composer John Cage at a glacial pace for nearly 25 years.

Happy birthday to Wendell Berry. Here he is in Thomas Merton’s hermitage in the mid-60s with Merton and Denise Levertov.
The Trump administration is sending tariff refunds, including $2.2 billion to Apple and $600 million to Amazon. But American consumers? $0. Once again, corporations get billions to line their pockets while Americans pay the price.

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.
The judge made clear he believed the law left him with no choice. Combined with a similar ruling involving Proud Boys members last month, it effectively closes the book on the Justice Department’s Jan. 6 criminal investigation. Case docket and court filings here: www.nacdl.org/brief/United...

A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.

The Trump-Vance admin will continue to be met with swift legal action every time they try to undermine our elections.

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
Today is the day our Indian Pueblo bill gets marked up in the Senate! This bill will return almost 10 acres of land to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque. Grateful to our colleagues for their bipartisan support for this bill and the IPCC—which is right in the heart of our community!
Morning dream: casual wooded resort hanging out at lake with Alex Stubb, half of water already freezing, people already skating, teasing about my ice hockey ignorance, but we hear rumor about a resident crocodile, race out riding seahorses, and Stubb rests his head in my lap.
So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterdayPhang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
A federal appeals court has ruled the EPA “likely acted unlawfully” in canceling billions of dollars in Biden-era climate grants. The funding remains temporarily frozen while the Trump administration decides whether to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!
As primaries and the midterm general elections approach, it’s critical to know your rights at the polls.

Bloomberg: Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney has gotten a vote of confidence from the international investment community for his response to US trade hostilities.
Are we trying to be taken over or why is this now publicly available information? One can only guess the “master strategy” behind it all.
