If only they would come in the middle of the night and do away with that stupid gulf of America codification…

Today we took up a bill to ban trans people from bathrooms and prevent them from playing sports. Pope Francis welcomed trans people to the Vatican, and recognized their dignity. If he can do that, what’s stopping us? Discomfort is not a license to legislate cruelty. #NELeg

America’s global leadership has been fading since the George W. Bush years, but Trump sped up that decline. He’s handing the next era to China on a silver platter—and it’s important to understand the long-term damage his actions are causing right now. #trump #china #tariffs

First, they came for Mahmoud Khalil—an anti-genocide protester detained by ICE, facing deportation. Not for a crime, but for speaking out. They want us to stay silent. But if we do nothing now, who will be left to speak when they come for the rest of us? #MahmoudKhalil #Trump

Interesting take-out coffee cup scam. I’ll have to check this out. www.threads.net/@thecomplete...

Well, this is a startling development: The Social Security Administration Is Gutting Regional Staff and Shifting All Public Communications to X - WIRED

Oh boy...a huge spotlight just caught Trump (and SCOTUS) -- like the Coast Guard revealing drug smugglers. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

I’m reposting scenes from yesterday‘s protests in southern cities & other nations. Brave people are standing up in red states amid the ignorant toxicity tinting their states red. It’s good to know that people globally are watching, judging & learning that there are decent, smart people in the US.
