Apparently some people are interested in having a baby boom right now. We took to Abigail Adams’s (a revolutionary among revolutionaries) girlhood home with a few ideas of what might help make that happen; basically, respect women.

Well done, @darklaughtertdb.bsky.social, to dredge up this WW2 training cartoon as ridicule of Secretary Hegseth. And I love that all the best acronyms, like snafu, originate in the military.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Once on vacation I had to drive an hour to an FBI field office just to find a secure phone to call into a White House meeting. Pete Hegseth is an amateurish mockery to anyone who ever actually took security seriously and needs to go.

Abrego Garcia, criminal or saint, was denied his due process rights by the gov’t. In this country, people are entitled to those rights, whether criminals or not, whether citizens or not. joycevance.substack.com/p/does-it-ma...

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

ICYMI: DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS. The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country. We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

Day 22 #The100DayProject One hour oil portrait on 6x8" paper. I chose a reference to match my mood after looking at the news, and specifically a clip of that Vance man speaking jobbies about Europe again. I used a different palette today, oh phthalo turquoise how I love thee. #art #oilpainting

“$8,000,000 for making mice transgender. No, no, no, you low-wattage dolt. The word is transgenic. Let’s say you’re a cancer researcher, and you implant some human genetic material into mice, in order to better study how cells mutate. Boom! You’ve just created transgenic mice."

Trump posts a fake Time magazine cover with a crown on his head and a headline calling himself a king, while falsely attacking President Zelensky—who is courageously fighting for his country’s survival—as a dictator. This is sick and disgusting rejection of basic human values.

Thousands of investors in Trump’s crypto scheme lost $2 billion in just weeks while the Trump Organization racked up $100 million in trading fees. Just so happens that the CFPB, which Trump is trying to kill, recently announced new regulations for the crypto industry. Hello?

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

Now of all times Susan Collins picks to support Tulsi Gabbard, an unfit and dangerous nominee. Collins is the worst judge of character and ability I have ever witnessed. Everyone from Kavanaugh to Gabbard gets her ok. Maine- kick her out in 2026

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
