Time to go Gramps

Let us gather together in the spirit of love and gratitude.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Female Cardinal in a burning bush

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

BREAKING: Numerous US politicians appear to have bought war stocks before Israel attacked Iran.

US Congressman Josh Gottheimer bought $RTX, Raytheon, a weapons manufacturer, last month.

Congressman Bruce Westerman bought $RTX on 04/07/2025 AND on 03/02/2025.

Unusual.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?

LUTNICK: Generally 10%

DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%

LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Love these two.

Crockett: If we’re going to talk about numbers and mandates, it is the reason that the only person in modern times to have the lowest approval ratings at their 100 day mark is the same person the first time they were in and now this time

BREAKING: Info shared by Hegseth with his wife and brother came from top General's secure messages. (NBC)

He must go!

The Supreme Court says we can and MUST

Historical marker at the spot where the British landed on April 18 1775, with NO KINGS written on the ground in blue chalk

Every year at this hour, we walk down to the marker where the British boats landed on 18 April 1775 (inland now, because the river is narrower) and read the Longfellow poem.

I offered the children the option to walk the British route to Concord in time for the shot, but they declined.

NO KINGS

Jessica: And the American public understands the difference between being deported and being sent to a foreign prison.. If we have a mass murderer in a maximum security American prison, they have more rights than the people being sent there for a lifetime sentence.

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday!

Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

Pussy Riot came to NYC to tell us “ We see the rise of authoritarianism here
and we want go call people to not be silent. We want ppl to remember not to give up”.

This video might be useful to send and then just walk away, if you're tired of arguing

Camellia at Linnean House - Missouri Botanical Garden

“The 5 things Pete Hegseth did last week”

- Shared classified attack plans on an unsecured commercial chat application.

- Denied doing it.

- Denied the plans were classified.

- Denied the plans were plans.

- Attacked the journalist who proved he was lying.

Our Founding Fathers were no dummies.

As James Madison wrote in Federalist No. 47: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

This is what Trump wants. We will stop him.

Pete Hegseth: “Nobody texted war plans.”

Imagine what MAGA would do if Joe Biden’s Defense Secretary sent this highly classified operational plan in a Signal chat?

Pete Hegseth should resign.

🚨 BREAKING: 26 Americans dead from yesterday’s storms—and Trump says nothing.

But he found time to brag about a made-up award.

Priorities.

As the mom of girl athletes, I know why they attack trans athletes: It’s a way to further marginalize trans girls.

If the issue truly was about girl’s sports, they would first make facilities equally available to girls and fund their uniforms and coaches and buses the same as boys. They don’t.
