I subscribed my entire adult life, like my parents before me. I looked forward to grabbing my paper off the front step reading it every day before work. Book Review & Metro were my favorite. I dumped the Post when he didn’t publish the endorsement, but watching him kill it fully is heartbreaking 💔
funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsement—almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itself—still has his job

He needs to be put on trial in internationally - his crimes aren’t just here in the USA. Shame on Republicans for not standing up to him.

Remember in The Hunger Games when President Snow ensured that only those things he wanted the Districts to see were broadcast across the country? I bet it started just like this…

Defund ICE, get them out of our neighborhoods. They aren’t arresting criminals - they’re terrorizing people going about their daily lives @booker.senate.gov

Where are the House & Senate? They see trump’s Gestapo brutalizing people all over this country, (especially in MN), they see trump doing Putin’s bidding by damaging NATO with his Greenland rhetoric. He’s insane & destroying our country, why are they silent? #whereiscongress ?

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

Will he have his Gestapo at every polling station to ensure Democrats can’t vote?
This week: we execute a U.S. citizen.
Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.”
It's so transparent what's going on here.

I cannot listen to the convicted felon speak. I’m hoping a transcript will be made available. Will Congress finally step up or will they allow him to illegally wage war and just kidnap a President and his wife, or have they truly just handed their Constitutional powers over to him? #Venezuela

My beautiful Morning Meditation 83 arrived safely and it is even more beautiful in person. Once my Christmas tree comes down, I will hang it with my other tree paintings. Also @heatherihnart.com, thank you for the adorable crow figure you made and the stickers. I 💙 them all.

My granddaughter is 17 today. She’s lived with me since the day after her 9th birthday. It’s been a journey, and it’s all gone by too fast. (My grandson turned 23 in September).

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Does anyone believe Johnson’s press conference that he’s just trying to protect the victims? He is such a liar comparing the judge not releasing Grand Jury documents to the release of the DOJ Epstein files. He is a disgrace to our Country, and the weakest Speaker of the House we have ever had.

This is me at 15 years old. Thank goodness I was never assaulted or sexually abused as a child. But people, especially women like Megyn Kelly and Karoline Leavitt, who make excuses or cover for men who were involved in trafficking children makes me sick to my stomach. #ReleaseEpsteinFilesNow
