People are joking about the war on Ikea but what I'm REALLY worried about is how the prices for prescription medication, already too damn high, are about to spike and you can bet insurers don't want to pick up that tab.

The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.

These are people. They may be unhoused, many by no fault of their own, due to mental illness, medical debt, unforeseen circumstances, etc. No one gets to decide they (& their only belongings) aren’t worthy of respect & compassion. How much was spent on ICE livery instead of HELPING them?

A long time ago I spoke an attorney in the Dakota Access Pipeline case, and the GOP has been trying since at least then to implicate EVERYONE in a protest based on the behavior of one person under RICO. It's how they intend to jail dissidents. Keep an eye on this shit.

There's a whole lot of folks in politics and media who low-key believe they can get through this era unscathed if they just keep their head down and don't piss off Trump. And some have multiple degrees earned by reading texts that specifically warned about the foolishness of this strategy. Tragic.

ICE is no longer immigration enforcement. It’s a sprawling secret police with a budget bigger than some nations’ armies. No oversight. Questionable training. Just masks, unmarked vans, and executive authority. If you think this stops at the border, you’re not paying attention.
