NOTE: I will instantly block anyone who responds to my posts with “shut up bitch”, “ mind your own business “ etc. If that’s your ideas of discussion, I’m done with ya. Give me reasons, facts , links showing I’m wrong? Great! Otherwise go hang out on Twitter. Not interested.

Douching it might work.

As a rock lover I would prefer a different comparison. The charisma of a traffic cone is my personal go-to, though lately I’ve contemplated mixing it up raw sewage.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Alas, I share this conviction.

Every day that passes I am more convinced of two things:

1) This regime’s attempt to consolidate and hold power is going to collapse in truly spectacular fashion

2) That collapse is going to be astoundingly dangerous and destructive

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

I won't vote for a single democrat who doesn't swear to tear down EVERY thing trump enacted, created, or built when this nightmare is over.
How about you?

They want the insurrection act so they can keep us from voting in 2026. Trump doesn't know much, but he knows he's cooked if Dems take the House.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 15h

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

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.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Reading the tributes to Diane Keaton is a welcome reminder of the value of kindness. A lasting legacy.
