We demand Wilber has immediate access to his loved ones and his attorney (who are currently struggling to get access to him), AND a full independent investigation into what happened. We stand in solidarity with Wilber and the people of Texas. ICE OUT NOW.

Jesus's harshest words in the Gospels were not towards prostitutes, other religions or undocumented immigrants. Jesus's harshest words were towards the rich and religious who used God's words to justify exploitation and oppression. Yet many want us to believe the opposite.

Twin Cities news from the St. Paul Pioneer Press - Federal Judge orders lawful refugees to be flown back to Minnesota, released. 🎉 And another federal judge says ICE has violated nearly 100 court orders - more in January alone than some agencies have violated in their entire existence. 😡

In an effort to help the White House with its accuracy problem, I got my red editor's pen out for their statement about the Big Ugly Bill. Much better now, no? Maybe send a copy to Johnson directly?

Another sick Republican pedophile. One more Republican living up to their reputation—every Republican accusation is an admission of guilt. Who are the groomers again?

It makes Trump a DICTATOR too! Look how it kills the courts and nonprofits. No way to hold the administration in contempt! AND they can call any nonprofit a terrorist org with NO proof. This is not a budget. It's a takeover and rape.

Rescuing chickens and discovering a barnyard animal sanctuary is so good for the soul. Thank you, Hope and Serenity Farm Sanctuary in Nokesville, VA! These 10 Rhode Island Reds will love you forever. The ladies will also love it when they're done being held in their temporary pen! Freedom soon! ☺️

If Trump succeeds in turning the United States of America into a fascist dictatorship, who are WE THE PEOPLE? He stops int'l aid & radio. He defies the courts & Congress. He weaponizes law enforcement. He terrorizes people via threats that he knows inspire his followers. China & Russia celebrate.

Republicans are busy burning down the Medicaid house. And there are still people inside! Including millions of kids. They made steep cuts in their disgraceful budget just so they could hand the money right over to the top 1% in America. So a few more dollars in Elon's pocket is worth how many lives?

I'm livid at GOP lawmakers who've now almost universally normalized Trump’s pardons / clemency for J6 criminals who assaulted police. Autocrats do NOT rise to power in a vacuum. I wrote my Dem senators to demand they STOP working across the aisle from Trump’s apologists. I am DONE with these games!

You can see the Trumpian wheels turning, with something like, "She may be white, but she's still just a woman. Must have been a DEI hire." Result: NOT GOOD ENOUGH. REJECT! From the Washington Post January 21, 2025

Yes, JD, hell is an excellent way to describe both Trump's inaugural speech and the next four years! WA Post reports: “Was that a hell of a speech or what?” Vance said, describing Donald Trump’s inaugural address as a “hell of a way to start the next four years.”

Jan 20, 2025 While the orange fool was being crowned, I got creative with an aging pumpkin. Damn, did it feel fantastic! I finally finished by defacing him—relishing every bit—and ended by putting a stake through his forehead. Bam, take that!
