Media folks, it is "wearing hijab" not hijabs. Looking at you, CNN. 🤦‍♀️

That was my take also, that we'll be waiting an awful long time for his people to turn on him in their despair. What was your take?

I hate the clocks going backwards and forwards. When I was young, we didn’t even have clocks. If we got hungry, we ate each other. We were poor, but we were happy. Good times. Not that we had time. It hadn’t been invented. We had to make our own time out of string and cholera.

As Zorak said, the life of a rodeo clown is a solitary and painful existence.

Wish I was furloughed and could finally chase my dream of becoming a rodeo clown. #DreamJob

Pastor David Black was shot in the head with pepper balls while attempting to pray for and comfort ICE detainees in Chicago.

I asked him why he feels called in this dark hour to stand up for immigrants.

Please listen to his response. Especially you, Speaker Johnson.

NO, just NO. Never, ever.

Do not confuse "patriotism," or love for our country with the PURCHASE of our country, in the form of a "donation."

BREAKING: President Trump just revealed that an
anonymous billionaire sent a $130 MILLION check to
keep paying our troops during the shutdown.
"They don't want to be named or recognized," Trump
said.
That's what real patriotism looks like - no spotlight, no
politics, just love for our country and the men and
women who defend it.

I’m getting a lot of, “but maga just says the approval is proforma and everyone renovated the WH.” Put aside that you don’t listen to people in the throes of mind control, the point is that this admin won’t even PRETEND that oversight governs them. the lack of pretense is the huge flag to me.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Oh, and that white women holding the MASS DEPORTATION sign isn’t just some random Karen. That’s Regional Chair for the Alabama Republican Party, Renee Powers—she is part of the government. This is what white America wanted. They really and truly WANT mass deportations. 🇺🇸

NEW: A judge signaled he will likely rule to weaken Virginia’s felony disenfranchisement law, which would restore voting rights to those with felony convictions. “A victory…would strike down a lingering relic of Jim Crow in Virginia,” a lawyer for pro-voting plaintiffs said.
