This is quite a thing to find 18 paragraphs down in a story. wapo.st/4hW2xGI

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

There is no more important story that needs your attention than the fact that the GOP is trying to steal a North Carolina Supreme Court seat. Please watch, share, and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzh1...

There is no serious legal basis for the litigation challenging the Dem win for NC Supreme Court, and they are not following the proper procedure. This isn't a case of well it was close, a recount might still flip it. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it's an attempt to steal the election.

1. It is half-staff, not half-mast (unless we are referencing only ships). 2. It will not be the first time flags have been at half-staff during an inauguration. 3. Trump is a tiny man with such a fragile ego.

"Trump barely pretends to understand the broad outlines, much less the nuances, of his own agenda. Pressed on actual issues, he flatters himself and talks about how great he’s going to make everything. But he offers few details, and when he does, they're conspiracy theories and lies."

I’m here to say things like, “President Biden…stop acting like a Goddamn politician and fucking do something boldly outrageous. You’re 82 years old. Fuck it!” because I rarely see anyone else willing to say it. Issuing pardons isn’t bold. It’s simply a necessity. Surprise the shit out of us.

I have survived the month since the election by focusing on the baby chicks we are raising and on my horseback riding lessons. I am not sure I will ever forgive those people who voted for Trump or chose to sit this one out.

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President. It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me. Dammit, America. 😞

MAGA talking about Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth not being prosecuted for rape don't seem to understand just how few cases are actually taken to court. Of the 1 in 3 rape cases are reported to police, only 1 in 4 lead to an arrest. Of those, only around 1 in 6 cases lead to a conviction. Spare me.
