My greatest hope for today is that Pope Francis is in heaven telling God what a little shit JD Vance is.

Pete Hegseth leaving Mein Kampf, but ordering the removal of Maya Angelou from West Point and The Naval Academy says everything about where we end up if people choose the easy path of compliance rather than defiance.

It’s not DEI it’s KKK.

Our tax dollars are being used to jail Abrego Garcia in an El Salvadoran prison illegally, in violation of his constitutional rights, and without just cause. Donald Trump is using American tax dollars to pay for illegal incarcerations. Our Reps must demand Garcia be released!

Artists all along this year’s modified Camano Studio Tour said they were surprised by the crowds over an extremely hot weekend. https://t.co/HVTumMNHsC

Tig Notaro's unique brand of comedy infused into a Zack Snyder zombie-action extravaganza is a more perfect pairing than anyone could have anticipated.

Army of the Dead premieres Friday!

This is US.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Lots of people are rediscovering and re-sharing this post this morning, so I’m putting it again here.

Listen to @esglaude. Really take in his words.

The work we have ahead of us is deep, and transcends elections. It always has been. And we are called to do it.

@CherylStrayed Same. Completely devastated by American behavior.

Who pays more taxes than Donald Trump? Pretty much every American, including those folks who lack citizenship. The “illegals” he wanted to build the wall for pay more taxes than he does. He’s been enjoying the spoils of our tax dollars for decades. #votehimout

Local COVID-19 update:

Overall, statewide infection rates are dropping (https://t.co/m7y5VvmaqO).

According to county data, Stanwood-Camano numbers are up a bit this month: 32 new cases (24 Stanwood & 8 Camano). To compare: SnoCo has 514 cases so far this month & IslCo has 29

Ladies, you’re already expert planners and organizers. Now, you’ll need to plan for revolution. Your handgun’s name is Ruth. #rbg #notoriousrbg #feminists #ruthsentus

@realDonaldTrump calling for a delay in the presidential election should be viewed for what it is—a threat to democracy and the Republic. The president has no power to change election dates or parameters. Voting in November is paramount to saving this country from tyranny.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Donald Trump is terrified.

Throwback to 5 years ago when Tony Fauci, at 74 yo, was suiting up to treat an Ebola patient himself because he "wanted to show his staff that he wouldn't ask them to do anything he wouldn't do himself". This is what leadership looks like. https://t.co/QctW672ykC

Rollbacks.

[Evan Caldwell @Evan_SCSD]

“A week or so ago, I would have thought it was a remote possibility. I don't feel that way anymore. I think going back to Phase 1 is clearly one of the options that could be in front of us,” Snohomish County executive Dave Somers said Tuesday.

Snohomish County COVID-19 update: 48 new cases on Monday, pushing the rate of new cases per 100,000 residents to 39 — well above the target of 25.

[Amy Martin @AmyMartin77]

As if things aren’t heated enough.

[Evan Caldwell @Evan_SCSD]

As far as I can tell, the Stanwood-Camano community would be among the first communities in the state split in half by the Phase 1-Phase 2 distinction. And with Snohomish Co. not looking like it’ll get Phase 2 on June 1, it could set up some interesting situations here.

[Amy Martin @AmyMartin77]

A reality TV star president out of touch with reality, a global pandemic, crippling recession, social and political strife, and now declassified UFO reports. Honestly, 2020 is just getting wilder and, I’m pretty sure it ends with a nuclear warhead. #whatishappening #fuckyou2020
