Jacaranda trees in bloom lining Fairfax in South Hollywood, CA I consider this a very mediocre picture but I’m posting it today in contrast to yesterday’s amazing pic as a test. I paired yesterday’s with Malcolm X and those pics never do numbers. Methinks the folks on this platform need a lot more Malcolm in their lives. Ninnys.

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. - Alice Walker

That is how the court system works. He did not ignore the decision, he had to be forced to use a different law.

Needs more pixels.

The ruling did stop him, that's why he's using a different law.

It can't go over 15%.

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year.

Where’s our refund?

Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause.

I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

Starmer’s Chief of Staff Resigns, Citing Role in Hiring Friend of Epstein

Y'all need to pay attention to what's happening in Europe. They're not messing around. The Epstein scandal is causing heads to roll.

In America, eh, not so much. I wonder why.

Finneas and Billie

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?

Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

Are they going to also "blame a staffer" for Obama permanently living, 24/7, rent-free in his head?

Corporatist fascism, plain and simple.

DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go?

Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
