I have lost my hero and a piece of my soul. My Dad died after living a long, rich life with its share of joys, sorrows, adventures, and pain. His humor, his generosity, and his deep love for his family will never be forgotten. I'll always love you, Dad. Thanks for everything. ❤️

3/3 Mr. Smith Went to Washington - if you haven't heard of the film, then this filibuster won't reach you. What a crock of sh*t. Get out on the street, talking to your constituents. Ugh...

The reason no one has filibustered this long since the 1950's is because that was the last time it was relevant. If you don't watch C-SPAN or alternative media, you won't even know this happened.

RE Booker's filibuster... Are those the pages applauding because, last I heard, Schumer was the only Senator in the chamber. Booker and Schumer are both too traditional, too entrenched in rules and norms.

Welcome to the Resistance, Mr. President. @barackobama.bsky.social No more capitulation or going along to get along. When they go low, kick the shit out of them.

Democrats are too intellectual. They/we THINK voters want logic and reason, but what they (voters) REALLY want is a gut-felt VISCERAL reaction.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

How do you write an entire article on this without telling readers that it is: 1. A violation of the UN Charter & our obligations as a UN member-state 2. A violation of Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, & our obligations as a signatory of that document So. Much. Stenography. So. Much. Normalization.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Print all the photos and articles and put them in a fireproof safe. When the digital history has been wiped, we will need analog proof.

Emails sent out late last night—The Department of Health and Human Services is offering employees up to $25,000 to voluntarily leave the agency.

Might save a life.

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!
