SHARE THIS POST. I ask every single person I know, if you cannot be in DC, to join this protest, organized by Kerry Kennedy, VIRTUALLY. Take a photo of yourself holding a sign. Post it on social media. Tag The White House, The Kennedy Center, Kerry Kennedy.

Especially for Paul Borntraeger, a dear member of my family, a graduate of the Wendell Berry Farming Program. And for some old friends from Paddlewheel Alliance. We all got arrested with Wendell Berry on a long-ago summer day.

Jeremy Hogan is someone I know well, from many years working at the newspaper. In the past, at my request, a good friend in DC has hosted him while he covered a big event. His work ethic and integrity, as well as his talent, are top-notch.

This report issued by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a very respected and bipartisan think tank in DC (where our son Adam works with legislative strategy) is getting attention from Members of Congress and media. www.crfb.org/nostatespared

I would never advocate violence. I encourage you to contact Ind Attorney General Todd Rokita on wasting taxpayers’ $ by sending someone to threaten a person for posting “86.” Office of the Ind Atty Gen Ind Government Center South 302 W. Washington St., 5th Fl Indianapolis, IN 46204 (317) 232-6201

I do not understand money laundering. But isn’t it a sign of money laundering if a very inflated price is paid for something? Like one of the warehouses being bought by DHS was assessed last year at $26 million, and DHS bought it for $129 million.

Show your support for resistance! I’m making red tassels — attached to safety pins (which mean “I’ll help!) or clips for bag or keychain. Free delivery locally. Half of every sale goes to Exodus Immigration Services. $6 each; add $2 for mailing. (Think I can mail up to 3 for one $2 mailing charge.)

Dear Republican members of the House Oversight Committee, now that you’ve questioned Hillary Clinton needlessly, how about questioning people who DID know Jeffrey Epstein? Subpoena Trump, Melania and Lutnick!

CBS, you are cowards. Get someone with journalistic ethics and backbone to lead and stand against those fascists! Eventually, the disgusting Trump and his Nazi cohorts will be defeated, but we will remember your sniveling behavior.

John Mellencamp said it a few years ago. He’s always been able to strike straight to the heart. youtu.be/rHruy-LPwGY?...

Mulling over protesting at Todd Young’s office tomorrow to demand he not vote to fund ICE. I can think of all kinds of reasons not to go: snowy roads, using my walker, it’s on the north side of Indy. But, the phrase keeps coming up to me: IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

Lynne Foster Shifriss @lynnie18.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

I called Todd Young’s office at (202) 224-5623 & left a message NOT to vote to fund ICE & to stand up for our Constitution & get that demented fool — who has made our country a laughingstock & is a real danger to our democracy — out of office. It would make me happy to hear that you called, too.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

I have let my office and bedroom and living room get too messy with stuff. Mostly my craft stuff. And books. And when I think of clearing it all up, my mind gets as tangled as the yarn! So I am using the “Pomadoro Method” to work on the chaos.
