There are 30 trillion cells in the human body. All of mine are anti-fascist. Morality made me an atheist. I love horses and gardening, especially irises!

Indicting New York Attorney General Letitia James, instead of paying the military or opening the government, sets Trump up for a massive backfire.

People need to be clear-eyed about the emerging MAGA narrative & what it reveals. The gaslighting about #Portland & #Chicago, the manufactured #Antifa hysteria & equating the #NoKings protests w/Hamas make it clear that Republicans know they are failing. They cannot govern b/c they don’t know how /1

This is the most Portland thing ever, and I love that it’s going to change the national image of PDX that right-wingers have worked so hard to trash

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

You can draw a line from Trump's evidence-free claims about the need for troops in Portland to top Republicans insisting today that the upcoming "No Kings" rally is the work of antifa agitators. www.pbump.net/o/the-presid...

The president’s pretend enemy

There is no crisis of unrest in Portland, Oregon. One way I know this to be true is that President Trump — who is insistent that Portland faces just such a crisis — doesn't offer any evidence of it. A...

The Portland protesters
try not to escalate
tensions with the federal
occupying troops.
For instance, none of
them wear dog
costumes.
Don't want to give
Noem's a twitchy finger.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

"There is no crisis in Chicago that requires the National Guard. To the extent that there is civil instability in Chicago it has been caused by Trump’s surge of federal agents into the city and their lawless assault on the citizens of Chicago."

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Funny meme with a picture of an "Antifa" headquarters that reads:

Just got to my desk at Antifa. I can't believe Karen in HR scheduled the mandatory Molotov cocktail safety training today.

Folks labeled Dominion Voting Systems as heros too soon.
At the end of the day, most of these corporations are in the pockets of the GOP. Future elections are are virtually uncertain.
