If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Glad WI voters chose a judge with integrity. Glad my city ousted a corrupt incumbent mayor. I needed some good news.

My grandfathers who fought in WWII and all their families and friends would be sickened by what happened yesterday. Everyone should be. #istandwithukraine

The Dept of Ed has a new page to report DEI “problems” at K-we schools. It’d be a shame if people made ridiculous claims like aliens running schools and the page gets bogged down and broken… #deptofed

So Trump wants access to Ukraine’s minerals and is bargaining with Zelensky. Trump is allied with Putin. There was a big Russian attack that killed several civilians. I have a feeling USA is now complicit in the war on Ukraine. #ukraine

Our executive branch seems to be struggling with this concept so I’m posting this in case anyone needs a refresher. Of course, when one has seeded the Judicial branch with appointees, and the Legislative Branch is full of Yes Men, I can see why they are frustrated that there are still some outliers.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Country music fans mad at Beyonce…. Do you realize it was mediocre white dudes that completely bastardized the genre? You cranked up Jason Aldean and now you’re a “purist?” Sit down.

The news today has me feeling like I’m watching a football game where one team is breaking all the rules, intentionally hitting players in the head, and the refs are letting it happen. I’m cheering for the team that’s not able to even get a play off, let alone going.

Fed up? Angry? Do this: download a free app called "Call 5". Pop in your zip code & then choose the issues that matter to you from a list. The app then gives you YOUR SENATORS' & REPRESENTATIVES' NUMBERS & a script you can use. WHOOT! So start calling those motherf*ckers. Use your voice.

Of all the shit happening, Musk getting access to EVERYTHING is the most problematic to me. He doesn’t have to go through a hearing or be vetted in any way because he’s not heading a traditional committee. But he’s getting access to lots of private info and control over money.

Real ID & making flying unsafe r ways to get people to not travel. To force us to “stay” & “sit.” Controlling movement of people is a way to limit growth & learning. Remember they want you scared. Don't be scared. Be grimly determined to help other people. We can do this. People have before. We can.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Kennedy was lambasting SSRIs in his hearing. He claims they are more addictive than heroin. I’m not an expert, but I take them. When I’ve gone off of them with supervision via weaning, I don’t have “withdrawals” but I get depressed, suicidal… the things that the pills HELP STOP. Ugh. Moron.

I saw this on TikTok but I had to go see it for myself. The White House website, translated into Spanish—gone. And they’ve replaced the Home button with the words “Go Home.” www.whitehouse.gov/es/

The White House website translated into Spanish has been taken offline, and the home button replaced with the words “go home.“
