So. Much. This!

1. This is what America looks like with a President who is both a sociopath AND losing his mind.

2. It’s a good time to remind every member of the U.S. military they swore an oath to the Constitution, not an individual, and they have a duty/they are legally obligated to disobey illegal orders.

Thank you for this gift. And for sharing your deep and thoughtful look at front-temporal dementia as a loved one descends into its clutches. I admire your raw strength and the deep love it must have taken to live this experience, and then to write so eloquently about it. Thank you. 🙏

The Endless Goodbye More than a decade before my dad died, I lost him to dementia.

If childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies, as Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote in her poem of the same name, then dementia is the kingdom where you are always fading but never fully gone.

NEW: We sued the DOJ for failing to produce records about Federal Tort Claim Act claims filed by President Trump, including his $230 million claim over investigations into his potential criminal conduct.

The American public deserves transparency.

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans:

1940: 81%

1980: 70%
1990: 28%

Talarico had a very worthy response. That Talarico kid has real game and Ken Paxton should be sweating.

On a related note, contrary to popular opinion, GOP does not stand for "Grand Old Party," it stands for "Guardians of Pedophiles." Monsters stick together.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash.

ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to.

The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty.

Budgets are moral documents.

This is utterly disgusting and shameful. This regime must go.

EPSTEIN FILES NOW.

Thank you, Sen Murphy for speaking truth to one of the the Faux "News" state TV propaganda machines. Keep speaking out & pls remember to include notes on the private, for-profit, billionaire owned detention ctrs across the US who control 10's of thousands of beds... Beds they get paid to keep full.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

How the Supreme Court Secretly Made Itself Even More Secretive

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t.

Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity.

It’s about preparation.

Understanding the LRAD, the “Sound Cannon” Police Are Using at Protests, and How to Protect Yourself From It Usage of LRADs, which can be loud enough to induce vomiting and cause ear damage, has been documented at protests across the country.

(9/?) Here’s an article doing some more explaining about it. I’m no journalist so this is at best messy but I think the information is worth sharing. Be aware & be proactive.

Kristi Noem AND Stephen Miller must go.

Aside from doing the right thing, because it's the right thing to do, this quote is apropos for the times we find ourselves facing.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
