I was an essential worker-Team A during Nola hurricane season. I had lunch daily w/your Nana during Covid when she couldn’t understand why you weren’t allowed in & thought she was abandoned. I relived old war plane documentaries with your “Pop,” and he communicated after his strokes. #professional

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy dancing naked in front of a window and getting his hairy nipple licked on reality TV. This is who Trump put in charge of the country’s flight safety.

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

Trump’s ‘Gender Ideology’ order creates a federal mandate defining gender as the sex of an embryo at conception. Impacts: As all embryos have female sex characteristics at conception, all Americans are now defined as female under this order. (3/3)

So, are we at that point of pubically naming the J6ers where we live? I’ve got one, in a smallish town in Texas. It’s public knowledge, so…this chick is a “life coach” and performed Sopranos at our Symphony of the Hills in 2019.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

A North Carolina woman with a genetic disorder that creates serious fetal anomalies wrote to state Sen. Danny Britt about how the state's ban prevents her from expanding her family. Here’s Danny and here’s his official reply. Danny is an asshole!

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

From a friend: “Someone I know had a meeting with a Trump agriculture transition team member. This person said surely you’re not going to impose tariffs on food imports. He responded why wouldn’t we? And my person said: because about 30% of the food Americans regularly consume cannot be grown here…”
