I’m a liberal woman living in the bay area. Basketball is my sport. History the environment/ politics and women’s rights are my thing. Getting beyond the election is difficult but a return to activism is a goal. I know too much to give up. Fight the fight

When Trump’s father was just a few years older than Trump is now, he was diagnosed by two MDs as having dementia—his own reporting “in recent years" he’d had symptoms of “obvious memory decline” and significant impairment,” another that he “did not know his birth date [or] age.”

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

This is bullshit. Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping. Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel. (Anaheim, CA)
