DEAR WE THE PEOPLE! According to my calculation, it doesn’t look good for Mr. Trump involving a 13-year-old girl in 1994. Here is that girl, Katie Johnson, at age 35 giving a full description of what Trump did to her. Hey, media, it has always blown my mind that this never got more traction. There are even three separate sworn witness statements and plenty of references to Trump making threats against them should they come forward, which in the end was enough to get them to drop the charges. LOCK HIS ASS UP!

Mark has over 7 million followers. After 4 hours this tweet has 18k views. Suppression of information on Israeli crimes is very very real.

huffpost.com/entry/released… “At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken,” organizers of the Global SumudFlotilla posted on the Telegram social media app. “While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality Israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages.”

Aujourd’hui, j’étais à la banque, dans la file d’attente devant un distributeur. Devant moi, un monsieur très âgé. Plus de quatre-vingts ans, sûrement. Il tenait une enveloppe dans la main, un peu tremblante. Quand ce fut son tour, je l’ai observé discrètement. Il touchait l’écran, hésitait, revenait en arrière… Je voyais bien qu’il ne comprenait pas. L’écran, les boutons, les étapes… tout semblait trop rapide pour lui. La file derrière commençait à s’impatienter. Lui, il s’est retourné vers moi, avec un regard gêné mais digne, et il m’a demandé, tout doucement : « Vous pourriez m’aider… s’il vous plaît ? » Je me suis avancée tout de suite. Je lui ai expliqué calmement, étape par étape. Sans jamais toucher son argent. Par respect. Par pudeur. Par délicatesse. Il voulait faire un dépôt. Il a réussi, lentement, en se concentrant. Quand l’opération s’est terminée, il avait l’air soulagé. Comme un enfant fier d’avoir réussi. Il m’a remerciée avec un sourire incroyable. Et juste avant de partir, il a sorti un billet de 10 euros de sa poche et a voulu me le donner. J’ai refusé. Il a insisté. Il m’a dit que c’était « pour le petit-déjeuner ». Pour me remercier à sa manière. J’ai décliné encore, doucement. Et là, je suis repartie avec un nœud dans la gorge. Parce que ce monsieur… ce n’est pas un cas isolé. Ils sont nombreux, nos parents, nos grands-parents, perdus face à un monde devenu trop numérique, trop rapide, trop froid. Perdus devant les écrans, les bornes, les applications, les mots de passe. Ces gens ont construit le pays dans lequel on vit. Ils ont travaillé toute leur vie. Ils ont payé, cotisé, élevé des enfants, tenu des familles. Et aujourd’hui, on les laisse seuls face à des machines qui ne parlent pas, dans des banques sans guichet, dans des hôpitaux sans accueil, dans des administrations sans humain. On parle d’innovation, de progrès, de modernité… Mais on oublie l’essentiel : l’humain. S’arrêter cinq minutes pour aider quelqu’un, ça ne coûte rien. Mais pour eux, ça change tout. Parfois je me demande : est-ce qu’on avance vraiment… ou est-ce qu’on devient juste plus rapides à oublier les autres ?

My new book, THE FIX, is here. Thanks to Rodrigo Corral for the cover depicting White House china repaired through the art of Kintsugi, using gold to fix but not conceal the cracks. We must remember our history. All of it. Available here: barbaramcquade.com

Democracy Docket
Democracy Docket@DemocracyDocket·
Efforts to erase Black voting power in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act are immoral. How do we fight against it? “We are going to stand up in solidarity with the minority communities being targeted,” Marc Elias said. “We are going to stand up and call out every miscitation, every abuse of this case for other purposes.”

Oh boy: “The Trump administration on Friday narrowed the definition of an “assistance animal” allowed to live with disabled tenants in housing, a move that could lead to thousands of animals and their owners being evicted.” nytimes.com/2026/05/22/us/…

🚨 PEOPLE ARE PANICKING AFTER SEEING WORKERS IN FULL CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE GEAR SPRAYING STRAWBERRY FIELDS — AND AMERICANS ARE EATING THIS A viral video showing workers covered head-to-toe in full chemical protective gear while spraying massive clouds of pesticide mist across strawberry fields is sending the internet into full panic mode. And now the footage is colliding with growing public concern over reports linking conventional strawberries to some of the highest pesticide residue levels in the produce aisle. For years, strawberries have repeatedly appeared near the top of consumer “Dirty Dozen” lists highlighting produce with detectable pesticide residues after testing. Viewers can’t stop pointing out the contradiction: • The workers are wearing respirators • Their entire bodies are covered • They avoid breathing the chemicals directly • Yet the strawberries still end up in grocery stores labeled “fresh” Now the comments are completely exploding: • “If they need THAT much protection, why are we eating it?” • “This looks like a toxic waste cleanup.” • “And they wonder why cancer rates keep rising.” • “Modern food production is becoming terrifying.” • “There’s no way washing removes all of that.” Others argue: • this is standard agricultural safety protocol • concentrated pesticides require protective equipment during application • and pesticide residues on food are regulated before products reach consumers But the footage is fueling a massive online debate about what’s really being sprayed onto America’s food supply… and whether people have any idea what they’re consuming long term. Be honest… if workers need respirators and full chemical protective gear to spray this stuff, what do you think it’s doing inside the human body long term? 📹: Instagram/flowerinspanish

Meanwhile in Ukraine
Meanwhile in Ukraine@MeanwhileInUA·
Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works. Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this." That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door. Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply. Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.

An NBC poll finds Pope Leo XIV and Stephen Colbert are the most popular figures in American public life. Donald Trump, JD Vance, both parties, ICE, and AI are underwater. A Catholic pope from Chicago is the most trusted man in the country. Govern accordingly. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leo-xiv…
