Pam Bondi is not having a good day. She is textbook Disney villain. She has not watched enough movies. It never ends well those guys.

I want someone to hold accountable the depraved villains in the Epstein files with the same conviction&furiosity as @georgetakei.bsky.social’s Captain #Sulu pushing the Excelsior to the brink to save his friends on the Enterprise in #StarTrek VI. “FLY HER APART, THEN!” Justice now for the victims.

The Republicans are reportedly complaining that, if the American people demanded the resignation and arrest of everyone involved in the cover up of the #EpsteinFiles, the #Trump Administration would have "like 3 people left." Well, where's the flaw?

Every time I hear someone talk about the death of broadcast television and radio I am reminded that those things are free and regulated.
And don’t require you to scan your I.D.

While the world sometimes feels upside down it’s really nice to take some control of the topsy turvy feelings and flip over on purpose 💃
There’s still a few spots open in my aerial yoga class tomorrow @peoplesyogastudiolansing at 4pm - hope to see you there 😄

Meanwhile in 2027…
“Dearly beloved, we gather to bury the United States of America.
It didn’t fall to invaders. It overdosed on smug, entitled stupidity—chasing outrage highs, supporting trust-fund brats, hating like it’s an Olympic sport, and calling racism “free speech with feelings.”

🚨Status Coup News just ended their Livestream in Minneapolis. They said that the ICE raids have NOT slowed down at all. They are documenting them daily. We cannot listen to Tom Homan when he feeds us the illusion that they are stepping back at all. We must keep the pressure HIGH on ICE.

My mother shared the spiritual abuse they suffered in residential schools. This is the same, a worship of something evil. There was no difference, just different children. They never believed our children were even human. Its a difficult time for many of us as the stories echo now.🪶

Spud Queen, sadly I am not.
But… I am verrrry excited about some new offerings we have at the teahouse - anyone wanna guess what it is?
Also yes, hash browns are the one true breakfast potato. No other potato styles can compete. That is all.
One potato to rule them all.

Umbrellas in the snow, waiting at the bus stop
My Southerner husband likes to use an umbrella when it’s snowing & I don’t know why but it makes his Yankee wife giggle - and now he’s got our little Michigander daughter doing it too
Is it me or is it mildly bizarre to use an umbrella in the snow? ❄️

The GOP doesn't want a rule that ICE can't wear masks for fear of doxxing. If the agents weren't acting like absolute Gestapo thugs, it wouldn't be a problem.
