The President swears an oath to the Constitution—not to a party or personal brand.

The Constitution is the foundation of civil society. It protects rights, limits power and ensures accountability.

When a President chooses party and profit over the Constitution, the social contract collapses.

Gross.

From the finale of The Handmaid's Tale: I'm not safe & neither are you & they are never going to stop coming for us. And even when we're gone, they're going to come for our children & our grandchildren. Fighting may not get us everything, but we don't have a choice because not fighting is what got us Gilead in the first place. And Gilead doesn't need to be beaten, it needs to be broken.

Just a reminder.

An array of colourful seaglass pieces on a striped white towel. There are yellows at the top, then a row of purples, pinks and reds, then a row of different shades of light blue and turquoise and the bottom row is a rainbow

Ended up procrastinating a bit today because the new seaglass had to be sorted and added to the stash. While I was there I found my lil jar of rare and unusual colours so now, you get to see it too :) #seaglass

It has been a really hard week for the country. However, sadly I am used to the media and country moving on quickly after gun violence happens in schools.

Time to remind the media that the EPSTEIN files still have not been released.

Stay focused🔷

Truth bomb‼️

This man should be the one speaking on college campuses…

“They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.”

New Bill Would Allow Rubio to Strip US Citizens’ Passports Over Political Speech The legislation would allow the Secretary of State to strip anyone’s US passport with no legal due process.

Free speech advocates are sounding the alarm about a bill in the US House of Representatives that they fear could allow Secretary of State Marco Rubio to strip US citizens of their passports based purely on political speech.

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

California voters are leaning YES on the redistricting ballot. 48% in favor, only 32% opposed. People get it. The narrative is on our side.

Remember: CA puts it to the voters. Texas skipped the people. Ours is a one-time fightback that returns to the commission. Texas’ gerrymandering is permanent.

Have you checked the roof?

Wow, I didn't know anyone still used dial-up.

Let them eat cake.

Good night, Bluesky friends 🌘

The Streisand Effect?

Carl Sagan explains how the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round and calculated its circumference over 2,000 years ago.

Because for some people, complaining is a competition.
