I imagine that a letter from the USDOT secretary saying they’ll withhold federal hwy $ from towns that don’t remove their DEI policies or agree to cooperate with ICE would have grabbed a headline 3 months ago.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Someone please make an Elon Skis In Jeans sign.

Midwest vs everyone

hello ok i am awake what did i miss tell me every thing

My younger (50) brother lives in a group apt. for profoundly Autistic people. He gets SSDI. His housemate was adopted at 4 y/o from Korea but was made a citizen bc her parents didn't realize they had to do that post-adoption. Her SSDI was just revoked & she may have nowhere to go. How many others?

Just some photos I took of AOC’s office door on Capitol Hill.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Lest you think we’re all overreacting, I am currently waiting to board a flight to DC and the xtian nationalist contingent is strong.

Are you thinking about running for something? I will help you!

Just over here thinking about a proclamation that only I and the town attorney can decide what’s legal here in our 1.2 square miles and how that would go over.

YES!!!!

Everyone needs more dogs.

I wrote this on the most consistently terrible, and fatal, idea in centrist politics today. On Fanta, rebadging, and why attempting to win votes from fascists is morally disgusting and politically suicidal. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

If you're looking for a concrete action to take today--and you're a Visa cardholder--take 2 min and send an email to them today. 👇

All I wanted was improved infrastructure and bear-proof trash cans.

This is where, prior to the current administration, the town was able to post community info (senior news, announcements, etc) at the post office. Most people don’t get mail delivered, so it’s a community hub. No longer allowed.

SURE WHY THE FUCK NOT

I cannot express what it feels like to know that a dude I met at a (not costume) party 20 years ago, who was dressed like Carmen Miranda (fruit hat and all), and completely rolling on e with a young russian model on his arm now has access to my bank info and is dismantling the federal government.

Tip for folks who may be struggling. Lots of people are. Make some lists. Write down: 3 people you can call to talk 3 people who will meet you for lunch 3 people who will walk with you Start there. Include me.

Well facebook appears to be strangling this link, but here is the National League of Cities summary of impacts of EOs to local governments: www.nlc.org/resource/pre...

I’m at the laundromat. Typically on a Saturday morning it’s full of folks from Mexico. It’s almost empty today.

Honestly what could the point possibly be? I ask this in all earnestness.

Do not open your door for ICE officials. Talk to them through your door. Refuse to open it.

For all my friends!

Hny to my friend.

I packed my go bags and put them by the door. Car is gassed up. Dogs sleeping in their collars tonight. We had to evacuate just 5 months ago and the fear is still very fresh.

Uh oh

Nothing like waking up to a Watch Duty alert after a night of insane winds. It was only their annual report announcement but now I don’t need coffee.

The resistance begins. Axios: Secretary Deb Haaland to run for Governor of New Mexico.

I was honored to be part of the Colorado delegation attending this critical North American Mayors’ summit to combat antisemitism, extremism, and hate. Combat Antisemitism Movement isn’t on Bluesky…yet.

As promised, chihuahua content.

This seems bad.
