The events of Jan 6 cannot be forgotten. Nor should the release of 1550+ convicted patriots or the deportation of undocumented migrants without due process. #USDemocracy

Firing all the JAGs is very very bad

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

Stitched and soon to be framed and hung on a gallery wall. This custom cross stitch was fun.

#ProudBlue Welcome good news in such a trying time. Pancreatic cancer is fast-moving and lethal. I have lost several friends to this horrible disease, and it's good to hear there may be help on the way.

Earlier today I wrote an open letter to Elon Musk in response to a post in which he claimed that I am “undermining civilization” and suffering from “generational trauma.” The response I received from so many of you was overwhelming. Thank you for all the kind words of support. The fight continues.

LOCAL ELECTIONS! Nazis taking over!

@propublica.org continues to identify DOGE workers. For example, Katherine Armstrong Loving, whose brother runs the crypto exchange Coinbase. Civil charges against coin base were just dropped by the administration. She is identifying EPA projects to nuke for Musk-Trump

The president having what amounts to a business meeting in the Oval Office with a foreign investment fund that backs a golf tour that's held numerous events at his properties is pretty outrageous. The conflicts are even more brazen than last time. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...
