The conman who was forced to shut down his fake "university" because its operation was consumer fraud, is trying to undermine America's oldest, most prestigious, legitimate university through an abuse of presidential power.

Every day, a new reason to despise this asshole. Every. Day.

How insane that I saw this and thought how horrifying and yep, that tracks before seeing it was The Onion🤦‍♀️🥺

A lil bit of joy! She loves all water: puddles, ponds, lakes. But not a bath which she needs once a week🤦‍♀️

Sometimes I still feel like a little girl, scared to do something wrong. Even after everything I’ve built, I forget my own worth. This is me remembering — and maybe it helps you remember too. #StopShrinking #TakeUpSpace #SelfWorth #NeurodivergentWomen #HealingInPublic #SpeakYourTruth #YouBelongHere

Another notebook filled with morning pages: dreams + desires, anger + anxiety, the mundane + profound 💕

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

Holy shit you guys. This ad for Iowa Senate candidate Nathan Sage is f’ng fire. A Marine mechanic raised in a trailer park is about to send Trump humping toady Joni Ernst back to castrating hogs. And we can help him do it. LFG!!! 👇 actl.ink/ntsgcmpln?re... youtu.be/wOYyZYSn_vg?...

Worked on this intricate paint-by-numbers for 2 full hours and besides sleep, it’s the most calm my mind gets these days.

Today sucks. It feels heavy and dark. So I took my pup for a lil walk around the lake and had a lil ice cream treat.

There will be no restoration of a constitutional republic until he is not only removed from power but repudiated as having never legitimately held it. The system simply can't fit back together again without that. You can't shatter the foundation to this degree and then try to rebuild on top of it.

Creating some time to write amidst the shit show we are currently living in.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Me glancing outside: It’s f*cking SNOWING?!!! 🤦‍♀️❄️

Is this who we are? 😳🇺🇸

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

I swear it’s all a part of their eugenics plan. If you get Alzheimer’s or cancer or Parkinson’s or even the flu, you’re weak and they don’t want you as part of society. They were willing to let people die during Covid. They are vile.

😂😂😂

I love my writing room! This is one wall and the art I’ve collected over the years. Some I made, some were bought at art festivals, some I found in magazines, some are even from shopping bags. Art is everywhere if we only look😍

Ugh this should be so easy, it’s not even like there’s a “good for the economy but morally evil” party and a “bad for the economy but morally good” party, there’s one party that’s like “minorities belong in cages AND we want you to be poorer” and they win elections somehow

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Exactly!! Disrupt at every turn.

Exactly. We’ve been begging Dems to DO something, do anything. He’s doing something. No need to sh*t all over it if it’s not a thing you wanted him to do.

OMG just about the most powerful message I’ve ever heard for the times we are going through. Watch it all the way thru. We are in the fight of our lives, we just don’t see it yet, because we are distracted by the noise & mayhem. So much is at stake, but there’s so much you can do as a person!

@npr.org and all media: Please stop saying he is “floating” the idea of a third term. Such an innocuous word normalizes something that should not be normalized at all. You could saying he is wrongly saying he can run for a third term. Or going against our constitution… Do better. Words matter.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

As a Missouri resident, I could see everything that’s happening coming a mile away because they already did it to my state. Defunded schools, kicked kids off Medicaid, refused the will of voters, attacked marginalized communities, and sold off farmland to foreign companies. We knew.

Martial Law. It’s the elephant in the room. It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them. It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for. 🧵…

Narrator: Of course she f*cking did.

Exactly.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Excited for the Inspired Collective session to start!!! Who doesn’t need some inspiration, support and nourishment right now? Amie, James and the whole community offer exactly that💕

It bears repeating…. @elienyc.bsky.social is right.

The DEI purge at the Pentagon is White Supremacy. The dismantling of the Dept of Education is Christian Nationalism. The rampage by the kids in DOGE is just petty dumbfuckery.

Trying to figure out why I am so much more productive at the bookstore than at home. Anyone else experience this?

If the constitution is still in operation, Trump's executive order abolishing the Department of Education is just a suggestion. If Trump can abolish the Department of Education with an executive order, then the constitution is just a suggestion.

As much as it hurts to admit this, I agree.

Well, there ya go. A judge just had to tell them to NOT do the shitty, unethical illegal stuff. Easy peasy🤦‍♀️

A vile, evil party.
