High protein lemon raspberry waffles with real raspberries. I put a smear of high protein coconut yogurt over the top and, oh my goodness, heaven for breakfast.

The right to peacefully protest is guaranteed in the constitution. It is not an insurrection. It is not a crime to peacefully protest an authoritarian regime.

A win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump admin from carrying out mass layoffs during the ongoing government shutdown. The case centers on Trump’s statements indicating that the planned firings would be politically motivated, targeting employees based on their political affiliation.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

Give me a break, Mike. The opposite is true, and you damn well know it.

You call it “historic and heroic,” but what you’re really bragging about is Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation blueprint to gut democracy, hand unchecked power to one man, and erase social programs.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Tomorrow is a critical day for democracy in court. Compare how the Washington Post framed it vs Democracy Docket.

Right now, fearless, pro-democracy media is more important than legacy media platitudes. Sign up now to say informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

I actually had a poster up that had this quote and a drawing I made of Winnie The pooh, but my background was too dark and it was hard to read and you couldn't see the drawing. I needed to replace it.
