Obvi, I have cats. I read, listen to true crime podcasts, #voteblue, bite my cuticles about politics, do easy crafts and shop for bargains. My two grandchildren are my life and so is my granddog. #standwithukraine

BREAKING: ICE is snatching families outside Texas courthouses. A sick mother was ripped away from her child after showing up for her immigration hearing. Her son held her hand and said: “Stay calm, Mom. I’m here.” Then they threw her in a van. This is a fucking trap.

"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom." - Abraham Lincoln

Probably shouldn’t have threatened their sovereignty. 🇨🇦 @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit. We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

Rick Wilson: "We have a whorehouse at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

He should anyhow. But especially now, yes.

In our entire history only one President got our credit downgraded in both his terms AND got us added to the Human Rights Watch List.

Nobody is questioning why the FBI director is being spotted at nightclubs more than his office. Like golf courses, these are prime locations for secret communications, deals and meetings especially with organized crime figures and foreign adversaries. What could Kash be up to?

Pres, Gagliardi, of the 🇺🇸 Federation of Musicians: “We will not remain silent as 2 of our members Bruce Springsteen & Taylor Swift r singled out & personally attacked by the POTUS. S&S r not just brilliant musicians, they r role models & inspirations 2 millions of ppl in the US & across the🌍” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

"86" the whole damn regime! open.substack.com/pub/fightthe...

Keep banging that drum folks! ✊

How about fixing the air traffic control system?

Deportation for honking his horn at an undercover ICE officer

"U.S. Capitol Police was forced to quickly arrest 25 people and remove several protesters in wheelchairs from the hearing room amid chants of 'no cuts to Medicaid' and 'waste, fraud and abuse my ass." THANK YOU, PROTESTERS!

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

We should be ashamed of ourselves for not appreciating him breaking the law. ✈️ 💰 🙏

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited Fighting & protesting is much harder on me now than it was 45- 50 years ago! But I will NOT give up. I also will not neglect self care. “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

The new pope

See that celebratory crowd cheering in Rome? A mere scattering compared to what you'll see here when our bloviating piss-frosted fascist moron is gone.

I expect at least one major voting right lawsuit to be filed today. Democracy Docket will have full coverage. www.democracydocket.com

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court’s newest member, denounced on Thursday what she described as "relentless attacks" on judges, and an environment of harassment that "ultimately risks undermining our Constitution and the rule of law."

Good info for making good trouble.

Interesting. German Intelligence have just arrested two suspected Russia spies, they had US Sec Defence Hegseth's private phone number in their mobiles. (Der Speigel)

The Nancy French post about the delights of "inconveniencing strangers": you know where this leads folks who agree? To the middle-aged, white German lady who sat next to me on a train a few years ago and pulled an airpod *out of my ear* when she wasn't done asking me where I was "really" from 🙃.

If the Supreme Court - especially THIS Supreme Court - no longer takes DHS at its word, corporate media probably shouldn’t either. Just sayin.

If the FBI knew the person they wanted was in the court room and when they would be there, they had NO NEED to interrupt the courts proceedings at all to apprehend them. It was all for SHOW. Trying to INTIMIDATE judges. Generally, in my understanding, not a good idea. Contempt of court maybe?

EMERGENCY ACTION Join us we’re actively working to get coalition members on the ground! Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI this morning after refusing to allow ICE agents into her courtroom. She was taken to the federal courthouse.
