Just a bird’s-eye view of the political shitshow. Love cooking with wine & jazz, protesting, and celebrating diversity. Different faces, different minds, all wanting a good night’s sleep.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago:
"The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting."
In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

As the country watched yet another unarmed American citizen fatally shot by federal agents—37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis—the administration scrambled through its PR playbook like a kid searching for homework excuses.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

Reports are circulating about Craigslist ads offering $50 for people to watch the Melania movie 😂 and Snopes has confirmed the ad existed.

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse."
Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

Imagine being a 42 year-old pleading with a known pedophilic sex criminal to fly you to his island so you can party with girls he assures you will be 25 or younger.
Then imagine lying about it to hundreds of millions—and continuing to lie even after your lie's revealed.
You don't hate Elon enough.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

This is testimony…
📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti.
“After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”
