Lowering my cortisol levels... Policies & laws that affect our lives & our world are vital to understand & to protect, or to protest as needed. I sing, act, & write. Still with Kamala & Tim. #TheResistance #Indivisible #DemVoice1 #WeThePeopleFORReal

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

The billionaires, with the help of the federal government, appear to have declared war against California?

Exactly.

#AT40 today’s song of the day is the classic, but unfortunately quite timely, “Ohio” youtu.be/MN_9VqfVQ9c

I posted this about my nephew 30 days ago. Today Vance threatened to send Marines in. Living in America. Just a shithole country.

Sad day in L.A. when ICE agents look like they’re part of a militia, covering their faces. If you’re enforcing the law, why the masks? This ain’t Iraq, it’s America. Or it used to be.

No one was doing anything illegal today. No one was committing any crime today. No one wanted any violence. ICE planned, coordinated, and strategically carried out and armed, violent attacks to terrorize and traumatize peaceful neighborhoods of Paramount, CA. #ICE #Raids #Paramount

The aged president who attacked the Capital on Jan 6 in an attempt to overthrow democracy in America is now about to bring fully armed military units into Washington DC on June 14. Is anyone concerned? www.axios.com/2025/06/07/a...

Excellent question.

If you haven't read "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder- do yourself a favor and get it. It's even out now as a graphic novel, illustrated by Nora Krug .

MEMPHIS — YESTERDAY: “He’s not a criminal!!” ICE agent clumsily PULLS A GUN on the daughter of a man they grabbed. Original post: www.facebook.com/share/v/12LM...

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

ICE is denying people the right to due process, abducting and trafficking them to foreign countries and locking them up indefinitely in dangerous prisons. Now they’re preparing the military to deploy on US soil and in our communities to help. This is authoritarianism.

It is extremely interesting

🔥🔥🔥 HOLY HELL!!! Elon’s got receipts!!!

At Juno Beach I realized that the democratic values that I had taken for granted didn't just happen. They were paid for at an immense cost of lives and sacrifice. Would we be willing to pay the same sacrifice if the darkness descended again? My reflection on June 6. substack.com/home/post/p-...

A fairytale in Tuscany. Fun fact: Taken with my smartphone

Rare audio. Celia Black, 1974 - 114 years old, remembering the slave fields. Her voice isn't ancient history — it's a reminder we're only a generation removed from this. Think you know American history? You don't. 🧠ERASED reveals what they buried. 📖Read it. Share it: stan.store/gxldsociety/...
