A hand holds a white plastic container for a deodorizing water-coloring tablet that is placed in a hand-washing bowl on top of an old-style toilet in Japan. When the toilet is flushed the water flows into the washing bowl over the container, adding a scent and often a blue color to the water as it drains through a hole in the washing bowl and refills the tank. Then the water is stopped by a float inside the tank.

Photo of a masked palm civet eating food (apples, mandarin oranges, bananas) put out in a residential garden in Tokyo for birds to eat during the winter months when their natural food sources are scarcer. Though civets are nocturnal, this one was out during the day. Its "masked" appearance comes from the white stripe that runs from its forehead down the nose.

THE BIG BEAUTIFUL DELAY Why You're Not Feeling the Bill — Yet H.R.1 (The ''Big Beautiful Bill") was designed to delay the damage until after the 2026 midterms. Here's what's coming... but not just yet: CUTS COMING AFTER THE ELECTION: X Medicaid work rules Dec. 2026 X Food aid restrictions Late 2026 X Clean energy credits end Mid to late 2026 X Student loan changes Gradually by 2026 X Affordable housing cuts Phased in post-2025 X Rural hospital funding declines Starts 2026 WHY IT'S DELAYED: • Politicians want your vote before you feel the impact • The harshest parts are hidden until after ballots are cast • By then, it's harder to stop. STAY ALERT. SPREAD THE WORD, KNOW WHAT'S COMING. Watch what's delayed — not just what's announced.

Part 2:. 6. No more helpless/hopeless talk; 7. Support artists and the arts; 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it; 9. Take care of yourselves; and 10. Resist! Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight! Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you.

When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration," or "The Republicans."

However, this is a strategic tactic. While we are so focused on him we are prone to neglect the questionable policies that threaten freedom, justice and fairness advanced by the administration. 2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone; 3. Do not argue with those who support him and his policies--it doesn't work; 4. Focus on his policies, not his appearance and mental state; 5. Keep your message positive; those who oppose peace and justice want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow;
