Unemployed do-gooder, helper of refugees. Colorado. Multipotentialite--or is that the ADHD? I'm in my third act, or maybe it's my fourth. Maybe it's the epilogue. I don't have a job.

Today I got my flu shot and Covid booster. Three weeks ago, I got a pneumonia vaccine. Here's hoping they're all effective! I went to the supermarket for my shots, and since I got more than one, I received a $20 coupon to use at the store. Huzzah!

Trump does not accept Congress is the legitimately elected and constitutionally empowered legislative body in this country. He is waging a yearslong, escalating campaign of rebellion, violence, and state terrorism against its authority and will stop at nothing short of its total disempowerment.

The "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and a brutal war on a European democratic US partner. Yes, the whole party. If they didn't, they would impeach and remove the president who is blatantly breaking US law to help fund Russia's war effort.

Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

PSA, Colorado voters: Elon Musk’s America PAC has been sending misleading texts saying, “Your ballot request is in,” and asking voters to confirm where and when to return it. The messages have prompted confused residents to contact county election offices.

In July, I took a ride through the Arizona desert with Verlon Jose, chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation, a sprawling reservation on the U.S.-Mexico border that may soon be changed forever. It was the beginning of an investigation that ProPublica is publishing today. THREAD ⬇️

I asked Alexa to play some music to get me moving this morning. She started with "Uptown Funk" and I started dancing in the kitchen. My cat put her ears back, stared at me for a second, and ran away to the bedroom. I guess my dancing is that bad.

Here's my inane update du jour. As I've mentioned, I've been on a weight loss journey and I'm down 98.4 lbs. Today I was organizing a basement closet and I found a forgotten bag of cashmere sweaters. My husband bought them for me in the late 1990s and they were too small then. Today, they all fit.

The most successful ethnic cleansing and genocide campaign in world history, is the United States takeover of North America. There were almost 100 million Native Americans living here. Now you can go to a place named something like Ohio, or Malibu, or Miami, and not see a single native American.🤷🏿‍♂️

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows the Trump admin to restart third-country removals under a policy found by lower courts to violate federal law. The Democratic appointees dissent. The deportations will be OK'ed at least through the next several months, with SCOTUS agreeing to hear the case in December.
CERTIORARI GRANTED
DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL.
The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and
by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026
order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of
certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether
the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the district court had authority to enter classwide declaratory relief and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252(f) (1).
(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals
is unlawful under 8 U.S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or FARRA/CAT and its implementing regulations. (4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the
proper disposition of the case. The Clerk is directed to
establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall
terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the application for stay.

Today was my annual visit to the orthopedic surgeon to have my Swiss knees checked. I told the doctor that I'm in a lot of pain where the IT band attaches beside the left knee and it seizes up when I walk. He pulled on my leg, wiggled the joint, declared it inflamed, and gave me a steroid injection.
