UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

Reading Peter Ames Carlin's "The Name of this Band is R.E.M." won't make you feel better about EVERYTHING, but it'll come pretty close.

Substitute “Biden” for “Trump” and half the country would be screaming for the Twenty-fifth Amendment to be applied

Donald Trump fired the head of TSA. He illegally fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee mandated by Congress. And he put a hiring freeze on FAA air traffic controllers. The buck stops with him.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Undocumented immigrants are not criminals. When you are in the U.S. without documentation, that’s a civil violation, not a crime. Whereas, Donald Trump committed 34 felonies, making him a criminal. Hope that helps.

Do one thing every day. Avoid exhaustion by being intentional. My State Senator, Rusty Black, sent out his newsletter saying he is working to overturn the will of voters on the abortion amendment. I responded to him. It took about two minutes. Work intentionally. Don’t get worn down.

Rusty,

We voted on Amendment 3 and it passed. If I can deal with a lazy, no good, lying, cheating, felon traitor being my President, you can deal with the will of Missourians on abortion.

It passed. Move on.

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

If a church doesn’t have a food pantry or a soup kitchen or a closet full of clothes and blankets open to the public or isn’t showing up at natural disasters to help, why does that church have a tax-exempt status?

In 4 short, contentious years, President Joe Biden performed great legislative feats for the benefit of all Americans — but so many turned away and chose chaos because he couldn’t give them everything they demanded. I want them to know it was them.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket. Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…
