To sleep in peace — how beautiful that is. No air-raid sirens. No shelters. No drones. No missiles. What we are living through is inhumane. It is heavy, and sometimes it feels impossible to carry. But still, the next day comes — and we do what we must do. So never give up. 2/2

Sure, serve on a jury, vote your heart out, carry signs, but for the sake of kingdom come, start throwing sandwiches!!!
Seeing a summons for grand jury duty in your mailbox may seem like an unwelcome time-suck, but participation in the system has never been more important.
It’s an opportunity to stand for justice as other protections against autocracy erode or fracture under pressure.

The Trump administration tried to send people to prison for eight years over Subway sandwiches and a scraped hand.

We'll see "Inside CECOT" right after the Epstein files are released? Just as soon as we see Trump's taxes? Or the video of the second "kill" strike on September 2? If we really want to know what happened, the Trump Ministry of Propaganda will tell us soon, say, two weeks? Right?
Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

It's not just the money they take from you to put in their own pockets, but also the power they rob us of and wield against us.
Remember, every leaf of gold that adorns the White House, or Mar a Lago for that matter, is a theft from the rest of us.

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?

Beautiful looking lefse!
I woke up with ten pounds of mashed potatoes in my fridge because today is Lefse Day, a yearly labor of love, rolling out potato dough paper thin and cooking on a jumbo round electric grill for my Norwegian-leaning wife. Let the flour storm begin!

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.

Sure, would love to have him for dinner, perhaps with a fine chianti.
Would someone please invite this man home to dinner? He is desperately in need of a friend. Yes, I know he's obnoxious, but maybe he will mend his ways by seeing how normal people act. 🗽

Remember boys and girls, tell Franklin that good neighbors love and help each other and don't call each other names.
Tell him, Franklin, go fuck yourself, and keep your turtle ass out of our neighborhood.

There are times when protest is not enough, whistles and phone cameras and car horns are not enough. There are times we must come to the aid of those who are being dragged through the streets. If we allow this to happen, this is our fault. OUR FAULT. We must be prepared to fight for our rights.
Minneapolis residents are outraged as an ICE goon kneels on a pregnant woman and drags her into the street, despite being informed of her pregnancy.

During the Vietnam war, my WWII-vet father tried to shame me and all conscientious objectors: “What about your mother and sister,” he chided, “What if Nazis were coming down our street right now?!” I refused to answer his then-hypothetical question. "That's never going to happen," I said.

Please keep doing whatever you are doing to help America: vote, protest, organize, volunteer, support your fellow citizens and non-, etc. But please also wake up to the fact that none of this will save your country unless you do what it takes to save it. Get real. People are dying while we sleep.
