This is such a good book and well worth this tiny investment.

Domestic terrorism by White House. Scary stuff

The suspect in the killing of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband texted, "Dad went to war last night,' evoking the language of the far right, Christian anti-abortion movement.

STORY TIME: ICE rolled up. The city of Bell, California said, “Not today!”

www.rawstory.com/social-secur...

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

Sometimes I think I need a disco ball. The Qs 70s weekend will do that i think.

Trumps are gaudy vandals

What? No pool? No putting green?

Has Snoop said a word about LA being occupied or does he have that red hat on too tight?

Imagine what happens if LAPD figures out how much good will they can earn by bullying ICE agents

Quiet Saturday mornings are such a pleasure. I am grateful for them. Puttering about on a very grey, foggy wet morning. Everything feels slo mo. Hurricane teens later, boy off to Nerf party. Teenzilla has extensive collection. Safety goggles & vest. ( goggles on invite, smart parents) should be fun

I don’t want to start an argument, but can anyone tell me what the Democrats are doing? Is their plan to fire David Hogg and then do nothing? If people aren’t paying attention, why aren’t Dems making them pay attention, by highlighting the atrocities of this administration? Question. #ProudBlue

Disarming. Can laugh at his mistakes. We are so fortunate. Carry on PM Carney

If the U.S. bombs an underground uranium enrichment facility in Iran or kills the country’s supreme leader, it could kick off a more dangerous and unpredictable phase in the war. Our reporter explains some ways it could play out.

Maine state lawmakers passed bill to prohibit State and local police from detaining, or questioning immigrants. They are also banned from working with federal immigration authorities. Go Maine! States rights! #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.pressherald.com/2025/06/18/m...

In the #HoC for the last #QP of the spring sitting. Kmiec in the Big Chair. Majumdar says the government did nothing but break promises over the last four weeks. MacKinnon lists things they accomplished. Neither were terribly honest in the things they listed.

OTTAWA – After weeks of criticism from First Nations leaders, the federal government has amended its major projects bill to withdraw the power it gave cabinet to sidestep the Indian Act.

Next foreign deployment, I hope the US Armed Forces, etc don’t need any translators, guides, or want to work with any locals. Cause people have long memories.

Here's a public relations disaster of biblical proportions by ICE How to inflate peaceful resistance and protest beyond your ability to withstand it

Well, well. Calgary's tree coverage is 8.25%. Ottawa's is 46%, Halifax, 43%, Toronto 28% and aiming for 40%. @cityofcalgarygolf.bsky.social states it aims to double to 16%. @calgaryclimatehub.ca @climatemamaclaire.bsky.social @nigelb.bsky.social @maxfawcett.bsky.social @lorenmcginnis.bsky.social

You know what's worse than Trump saying he'll decide on bombing Iran "within two weeks"? The NYT, WaPo & WSJ all credulously relaying this without noting Trump's long, long history of using "two weeks" as a synonym for "I don't know" or "not happening." Context is now irrelevant, apparently.

Attention most other cities — we REALLY have to up our street patio game. #NoExcuses Paris, 11 o’clock at night (early)

Stop giving the moron ideas

The media must stop using this photo of Adriana Smith from her first pregnancy. She was much further along in this photo than she was when declared brain dead. She was only 9 weeks when she died. This photo choice seems to be an attempt to make the medical experiment more “palatable”

Okay for the first time ever I am going to get myself a Dodgers baseball cap and cheer them on. The team stared down ICE and put the run on them. www.cnn.com/2025/06/19/s...

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch
