Born shortly after WW II in a country destroyed by Fascists and immigrated to USA in the early 50s. Believe people are intrinsically good unless their actions prove them otherwise. Trump 2.0 is a threat to this country I love and would die for.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

I need to say this: We must keep up the fight. Take a day or more for yourself. Keep your peace. Whatever it takes. Know that there are many people fighting on your behalf. We will get through this but only if we do it together. No hate. #Resist

The difference between MAGA Republicans and the rest of us… When it comes to the Epstein files, we say let the chips fall where they may. If Trump’s guilty, lock him up. If it’s a Democrat, the same fate. See how easy that is?

Since there is now a concentration camp on US soil, I felt that it was time for me to read Maus by Art Spiegelman. #booksky #bannedbooks #reading #socialjustice #literature #books
Book cover of Maus by Art SpiegelmanFrame from Maus by Art Spiegelman.

- You've heard what they say about Auschwitz. Horrible, incredible things.
- That can't be true!Frame from Maus by Art Spiegelman. Art has drawn himself sitting at his drawing desk on a mound of corpses. Page from Maus by Art Spiegelman. Art's father explains that not all prisoners died in the gas chambers. Some were burned alive while cremating the rest of the corpses.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.
As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN
inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members:
1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual.
1
Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 160
Filed 07/07/25
Page 2 of 4
The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.
Ex. 1 at 6, 9 (emphasis added).

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.
