BIG, JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. 1/

I just watched Alex Padilla get thrown to the floor and cuffed after trying to ask Noam a question at a presser.

The Senate is meant to be only second to the House of Representatives in power in our system of Democracy. They are fewer, older, and meant to be the wise body of the government, serving longer than presidents, and running less often than reps.

If you're waiting for the sign that things have gone too far, it's passing you by.

America is neither safe nor free.

I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:

“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”

Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.

“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”

Almost every hand went back down.

“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”

I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.

@kenny Welcome to Mastodon and Okla.social, glad to have ya here.

Rather on the nose, no?

I don't normally do anything about pride month on Mastodon.radio because LGBTQIA+ people are always welcome here.

However, "welcome" isn't quite true.

If you are LGBTQIA+ and interested in amateur radio, shortwave listening, etc. You are explicitly invited to join Mastodon.radio.

If you are homophobic, transphobic, biphobic, etc. I have a very glittery and rainbow coloured ban hammer waiting for you.

If you're in the market for some new #hamradio content, check out Temporary Offline. His most recent video regarding experimenting is the kind of content that really drives me to try new stuff. Funny enough, the other day 10M was dead but on our local 2M repeater, folks were talking about how much 6M was hopping. My EFHW couldn't tune up to that so I threw together a speaker wire dipole with a 1:1 balun, threw it up in the tree and was making contacts right away.
