These people are insane. The enablers are complicit. I appreciate all the hard work you are doing to keep us all informed and to save our democracy from this hostile takeover.
Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."
ATTN: If youโre a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). Iโll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. ๐๐ป
โWhen the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciaryโs duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.โ
-Justice Sonia Sotomayor
This canโt be repeated enough:
Masked soldiers are disappearing people off our city streets and itโs not some post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel.
Itโs actual America, 2025.
I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.
We shouldn't need a Black Womenโs Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued.
66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job.
Over a lifetime? Thatโs hundreds of thousands gone.
Pay Black women. Period.
And just like that, the โNo New Warsโ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.
Weโve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably wonโt share intel with us. Because people couldnโt vote for a woman.
Weird. I feel like I just saw this happen. Deja vu?
BREAKING: At 11 MILLION attending, No Kings Day numbers are approaching the critical key 3.5%... A political scientist's "3.5% rule" states that no government has ever held power after 3.5% of its population takes to the streets. Let's go!!!
Hit the streets tomorrow.
Be nonviolent.
Be joyfully defiant.
Be defiantly joyful.
Ridicule him.
Condemn fascism.
Oppose I.C.E.
Affirm diversity.
Embody America.
Love your neighbor.
Refuse to be intimidated.
Be safe.
Be loud.
Be encouraged.

Just watched the โTitanโ (submersible) documentary on Netflix. My take away? If the average woman was endowed with even half the confidence of some of these over-confident male โvisionaries,โ the US (& probably the world at large) would be in a much better place. โฎ๏ธ ๐
Such ๐ด๐ฉ
This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect โ
Still strange hearing a man convicted of 34 felonies try to lecture us on law and order. His bootlickers canโt even acknowledge it.
protesters surround federal detention center in Los Angeles
Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nationโs Capitol is not.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.
"I didn't know he would do this."
Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad.
Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.
Itโs being reported that 300,000 people have died from the USAID withdrawal. Violence, death, rape, chaos r all UP.
This deserves an international trial for crimes against humanity.
There is a link that tracks the death toll, I will post that in the comments.

Christian nationalism is not Christianity. Itโs a political ideology that uses religious language and imagery to manipulate people of faith into supporting authoritarian power.

Who will tell the president what the Constitution requires?
Certainly not Attorney General Bondi.
And certainly not this nominee for the Office of Legal Counsel.
(next to an image of President Obama) โIt is up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be because somebody comes and saves you. The most important office in this democracy is the citizenโthe ordinary person who says, no, that's not right." PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
So classy
โUltimately what we are now witnessing is the cumulative effect of greed on mankind.
The destruction of nature for profit, the destruction of our democracy to serve the needs of the wealthiest among us.โ
This government is entirely inept and every day it gets more dangerous.
