Just watched Trump and Vance shame us all with their bullying of President Zelenskyy. Ran to the dead, brown lawn and spread my triggered self out on the Earth to breathe. When I opened my eyes there was this in the middle of winter's harsh work. A reminder to hold on? 🤞🏻

Wonder if MAGA Christians support Israel ethnically cleansing Palestinian Christians? Yes, there are Palestinians who are Christian who are being bombed, killed, and occupied. Israel bombed Churches in Gaza. Is this fine? Or do only white Christian lives matter?

Customers at Ember Restaurant in Austin were told there was a wait on their food because ICE had raided their kitchen. Why are the raids always at workplaces if immigrants are lazy, noncontributing, resource drains?

Dear Actual Patriots: Tank the inauguration ratings. Don’t watch the inauguration - but also make sure your TV is on any channel NOT broadcasting it.

Judge Cannon will permit DOJ to release Vol 1 of the report while holding up Vol 2, which they’d already said they wouldn’t, with a hearing. Oh, & she still lacks jurisdiction to do any of the above but 🤷🏻‍♀️

ALERT: The GOP's SAVE Act requires a birth certificate to register to vote, BUT there's a catch: your name MUST match the one on your birth certificate. This is a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise trans individuals who have changed their names. #StopTheSAVEAct social.demcast.com/s/BfwWshl8
