The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes.
Our senators can’t vote to give Trump’s secret police more money to kill innocent people, terrorize our communities, and violate our rights.
Demand that your senators vote later this week to rein in ICE and CBP death squads.

What else are they lying about?
Gaslighting is one thing… this is something else.

In the bare trees,

A change
That is as inevitable
As fate,
As destiny,
As it is just this way.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Echo and Narcissus
After Echo, broken hearted, became just an echo of herself,
Narcissus, also broken hearted, left this life.
Clouds reflected in a vernal pool
are all we have left
and then the pool is gone.

Collective willful ignorance is not just an absence of knowledge; it is an active betrayal of collective responsibility. This stark reality challenges us to confront the uncomfortable truth that our comfort often comes at the expense of justice and integrity for others.

"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

The Second Coming
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

Autumn curves into Winter.
The days get longer
The nights get colder
And you get farther away.
Memories fading
Like frost in the morning sun
Like shadows in the new moon
And you get farther away.
Time is the dance of the sun and the moon.
Each counting differently.
And you get farther away.
The days get longer
The nights get colder
And you get farther away.

Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
