It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. And this is what the White House is focused on.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Hey Wisconsin!! Y’all got work to do and I'm so excited to help. There's a State Supreme Court Election April 4th! I'm on the ground talking to voters and any news outlet that will listen! It's a never ending phrase… “Democracy is on the ballot”

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Full house for Sunday breakfast. All 7 Eastside Orangeys plus Gentrification Kitty plus Señor Pretty Kitty (who wants to be in the gang sooo badly, he endlessly head butts and rolls around trying to get love, to no avail). Do good today. Then do it again tomorrow.

Do some good today. Then do it again tomorrow. Or just be angry and bitter and incurious and waste your life and the lives of others.

Weed whacked and mowed the asiatic jasmine ground cover (and the insidious Florida botany that lives in the winter, dies back in the summer, and is impossible to get rid of cuz it’s endless tubers). I’m slowly getting the garden beds ready for planting next month. All flowers!

All anyone will remember is the cold 10 days we had this winter & not the consistent 15 to 20 degrees above normal that we’ve had since November. It’s 82 now. Our low is the normal high. Was 78 all December. But do go on about our cold snap. We are baking and we’re proudly, angrily ignorant of it

Good thing the kitchen door is glass so I can see MeanCat blocking the back door again. I shan’t be doing more yard work out back. Oh no I shan’t.

Blacky, Queen of the Gongy, is truly insane. A mad queen. Non stop hijinks. She just crawled up the side of the bed underneath the covers to stick her spooky head out and scream HELLO!

Just realized last Super Bowl I watched was 1996 with Theresa and other coast guard friends. Don’t plan on watching this one or any future ones. Never got into it. Plus not having a TV makes it easy to not watch anything. But for all who celebrate, I wish you a Merry Super Bowl!

Appears the motor on the outside compressor unit for the air conditioning is feeling poorly. I tried to fix it by reading a short story to it. When that didn’t work I made it some Sichuan eggplant. I even showed it an orange cat. Nothing. Calling a pro tomorrow. I’m sure it’s cheap…oh god.

Some bozo on Twitter named "Insurrectionist Barbie" said that "most of our major cities look like Third World countries." This is what our three largest cities look like vs. an actual third-world country.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

I'm not a sports person. I didn't watch the game, I heard about Kendrick, don't care about commercials & heard who won. That's enough for me! Here's what I scored thrifting yesterday --authentic, brand new, never worn -- for 10 bucks!!!

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
