Recall when we had a president who was a decent human being? Seems so remote and novel now.

Me, too, Alice! My senators are Cornyn & Cruz, & I'm sure I'll get the same sort of caring reflection, thoughtfulness, & insight they exhibit in their regular missives - not to mention in their daily lives & previous responses.
Fortunately, Lloyd Doggett is my US Rep - today, at least

I have been boycotting Home Depot since they allowed open carry in their stores, but I wish I could start boycotting them anew. Fuck Home Depot.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

at first glance, these two signs appear to be giving opposing advice.

one sign says "leave your MAGA husband" and the other says "Fuck the Patriarch" ... now yes, I am SURE the original sign said Fuck the Patriarchy and it was just cut off by whoever took this photo, but you have to admit this is funny.

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.

To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.

And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.
