MAY THIS MAKE YOUR DAY Prior to bilat btw PM Carney & DJT, they had a press encounter where DJT started delivering his best hits (Sleepy Joe, ICE saves America, Obama = bad) just to be interrupted by PM Carney Once video stream was off, ENTIRE PRESS ROOM erupted in a deep, loud, and hearty laugh!

I also don’t believe the reason all the troops, tanks and equipment are in DC is for a parade. That may be what they tell us. That may be how they start it, but….

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

The danger that Trump would abuse the Insurrection Act to crush dissent—or steal an election—was obvious five years ago. It's unconscionable that Democrats did nothing to rein in these powers when they had the chance. The next Dem admin needs to prioritize it www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], we’ve got a war on our hands.”l Kristi Noem in 2025 as DHS Secretary: …federalizing the National Guard.

First, they came for the peanut butter & jelly, and I did not speak out because I loathe peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.

This isn't about Left and Right. It's about low to no Empathy having people terrorizing folks with Empathy because it's entertaining. And at some point, for our own survival, we're going to have to start a conversation about how to keep the Empathetic folks safe from the emotional terrorists.

Not a lawyer but I assume it's less than optimal for the government's case to be labeled by a judge as kafkaesque

That I cannot decide which of these two government officials is worst is a very dark moment for me.

Higher-need students are being left behind by voucher programs. When voucher programs drain funding, public schools are left serving more students with disabilities with fewer resources. We need to do better for our most vulnerable kids. #DontDefundPublicSchools #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This notion, that there always has to be a large underclass of people who aren’t well educated and just do manual work for the rest of us, is called “Mudsill Theory.” I bristled yet again at what the Party of Lincoln has become. marypezzulo.substack.com/p/the-mudsil...

Yeah it writes itself. But lets pile on any way, shall we? He sat as the head of the court, in the majority, who essentially found that they could be fired, killed, & dismembered if trumpf, or another president thought it in his or her 'official' duties to do it. That some world class irony.

The 9/11 highjackers has the audacity and creativity to shake things up that quiet Tuesday morning.
