Wow good for her We need more people like this lady.
A woman reads quotes by the late Charlie Kirk to Republican congressmen, and they find it difficult to maintain eye contact.

And I should say, as it’s so obvious these days, colonization in many forms has never ended
Colonization was like a powerful jigsaw ripping apart nations' families, shredding them into the darkness of a denied past. Now, Indigenous people work to rebuild the puzzle, reclaiming the tiny pieces of history scattered to the winds and reclaiming their identities, histories, and homelands.

Yay, some good news
House unanimously rebukes Thune’s controversial subpoena measure
House unanimously rebukes Thune’s controversial subpoena measure
The House unanimously voted 426-0 Wednesday night to claw back language in last week’s government funding bill that could award some GOP senators hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages for having their phone records unknowingly obtained by former special counsel Jack Smith. The language, which was quietly slipped into the shutdown-ending package last week by Senate Majority Leader John Thune, drove bipartisan outrage in the House. Even outspoken critics of Smith — including House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who is leading an investigation into the Biden-era probe — supported the effort to repeal a politically toxic measure that was quickly branded as a taxpayer-funded windfall for a select few. “That policy, in my opinion — in the opinion I think of all the members of this institution — is unacceptable,” said House Administration Committee chair Bryan Steil (R-Wis.), during floor debate. “No one should be able to enrich themselves because the federal government wronged them, no elected official should be able to.” The provision would allow senators to sue the federal government for $500,000 or more if their electronic data was subpoenaed without proper notification. But there are concerns over the language’s retroactivity — which would extend protections to at least eight Republican senators whose records were obtained as part of Smith’s investigation into Donald Trump’s attempts to subvert the 2020 election results. There are no guarantees the bill to repeal the language will get a vote in the Senate. The revelations that Smith obtained lawmakers’ private data has enraged Republican senators, who argue his probe amounted to a politicization of the Justice Department. But Smith’s subpoena was narrowly tailored for data around the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, and investigators did not receive the contents of their calls. Several GOP lawmakers whose phone data was subpoenaed have distanced themselves from the provision. But it may be too late. Thune hasn’t shown any interest in bringing the bill to the Senate floor, even amid the pushback from his members over his quiet decision to include it in the funding package. Thune told reporters Wednesday that additional conversations are necessary to reach a consensus about how to change the provision. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who has indicated he intends to sue for a significant monetary reward, has proposed expanding who can sue under the legislative language.

FYI, an important news interview to watch tomorrow
Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.
November 15, 2025 at 5:12 PM
FYI mic drop
Trump spent hours and hours alone with a female child inside a sex trafficker's home who trafficked little girls for sex. Let it bake in your mind. It's a fact that was emailed by the sex trafficker "Epstein" 5 years before Trump became President the first time. 5 years, so this isn't politics folks

I have a chapter in this upcoming book. The hardest chapter I’ve ever written, but when it was done, I absolutely loved it. Looking forward to getting my copy.

Yeahhhhh
BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Wow, that’s a lot of jobs. I hope everyone is informed about how well this government under the orange one is not working.
Trump’s Economy lost an estimated 50,000 private sector jobs in October.

But he continues to insist everything is booming.

FYI it’s just so wrong to deport people who have served the USA

So awesome thank you
Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

So accurate but nowadays, we can take control and change those narratives :)
I've never fully understood this until this very moment.
