I’m sure. He’s will be with his pal Rush Limbaugh in a different place. Also, for someone who is supposedly in great shape he sure is talking a lot about death lately. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

Pope Bob has won my heart - and I’m not even Catholic. He was quoting Hannah Arendt recently, too. ❤️

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

"Hard to put out propaganda against the “violent radical left” if all they get are pics and videos of people dancing in blow-up costumes.

It has added some very much-needed levity to an otherwise terrifying time in American history." ~copied

I was a podcast guest! - talking about the journey from trauma to becoming a “healer’s healer.” Fun 30 mins chat. It truly is never too late to heal. reinventimpossible.com/episode-149-...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.
