Got an email from a friend who serves in our state legislature and lives in my tiny hometown of Mt. Tabor, #Vermont. He was eager to tell me that not only were they on for a #NoKings event here at 10:00am, but that 32 people had registered. It’s 2 minutes away.
The population of Mt. Tabor is a whopping 210.
We are on the Long/Appalachian Trail. Apparently at least eight parties of hikers are going to come down the mountain to join in. They had dreamed that would happen. So #proud.

Update. Mom/Bev called an audible/a retreat when I started to stumble on the third step downstairs, you were right to caution a Bear. I’m paying for the effort, but a few extra ouches are a small price for giving it a shot. 😊
My state rep. pal will send pics and video along after they wrap. Doing as advised Laffy, still relishing the satisfaction of knowing our tiny VT town protests. 💜 you guys.

New in PN: The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings"

A peer-reviewed article—on Indigenous dance in Palestine and Native North America as resistance to genocide—was formally accepted then rejected by the editors of The Journal of Somaesthetics, citing fear of criticizing Israel’s genocide.

14 June 1921 | A Pole, Stanisław Trałka, was born in Wąbrzeźno.
He was deported to #Auschwitz on his 19th birthday in the first transport of Poles to the camp on 14 June 1940.
No. 660
He perished in the camp on 2 October 1942.
I was curious as to how someone so young was in the first wave of prisoners. I found a site which indicated he was a student at an art school when he was arrested, but the site is broken and the page won't open. Auschwitz.org states he was used as a photographer prior to his murder, meaning he certainly took some of the photos we see posted every day by this account.
auschwitz.org/en/museum/about-…
If anyone can find more on Stanisław Trałka, please share... I'd like to read it.
My kids love their trampoline, but they only spend 50% of the time bouncing up, wasting the other 50% falling down.
That's why I'm not spending another penny on trampoline maintenance until they can improve efficiency and reduce wasted falling time to at most 25%.
This toot is about austerity.

#Trump Shifts #Deportation Focus, Pausing Most Raids on #Farms, #Hotels & #Restaurants
The abrupt pivot on an issue at the heart of Trump’s presidency suggested his broad #immigration crackdown was hurting industries & constituencies he does not want to lose. [proving his agenda is, as always, driven by #SelfInterest not #NationalSecurity, & certainly not #PublicService]
This is most likely a lie. He’s hoping to fool immigrants into feeling safe, so they can round them up more easily.
After all, 87% of his base approves of the SS tactics!

This needs attention
Via Greg Sargent:
Now that #Trump has suspended deportation raids in the agriculture and hospitality industries, it's even worse that Dems failed to put their stamp on the right side of this debate. This dereliction could now let Trump get away with recasting his climbdown as sensible recalibration on his part. Awful.

Yeah it is really simple to install, setup and maintain. It's also very light on resources.
