Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

The special agents working these cases spend 2-3 years (and sometimes more) developing these cases to trial. You can bet they are super pissed!

If you believe these pardons that have been coming out for the magat criminal tax evaders, is no big deal, here the deal.

These folks are not just evaders, they are money launders, bank thieves, bribery takers, SS thieves and in some cases, violent criminals.

Only the best. MFers. IRS is pissed!

When a government is out of control it’s time to say so

Great question! It depends on the day, really. 😅 I do wish that my parents didn't subscribe to the belief that ASL would "confuse me." I also have no love for the AGB Foundation.

Captioning is also needed for non-signers. Not all deaf/HoH know ASL. I'm one of them & still learning. I grew up with audism/ableism and blocked from learning ASL in favor of being oral growing up.

There have been ads by "Stand for Texas" that have been running Rep Wesley Hunt ads asking people in the DFW local TV area to "call and thank Wesley Hunt for standing by Trump." Hunt represents a district that is just outside of Houston. 😐

Happy to see that the sit-in demonstration on the Capitol steps was covered on the early local news in north Texas! #corybooker

Picture of TV screen showing local news reporting on the Capitol steps protest showing people on the Capitol steps. Closed captioning is visible on the screen: "...Capitol yesterday. They sat on the steps in protest of Republicans upcoming..." Headline on bottom of screen reads "Dems hold sit-in on Capitol steps"

If you’re a hearing ASL teacher & feeling unsure, that’s okay. Sit with it. Ask: Why am I in this role? Am I taking space from a Deaf teacher? What am I doing to ensure Deaf voices lead? With ASL & Deaf Studies programs being cut, who gets let go first? Be honest.

Jewish Dems @jewishdems.bsky.social · Apr 18

One of the highest-ranking Jewish elected officials in the country was attacked, and Trump still hasn’t clearly condemned it.

Trump’s inaction, combined with his slashing of programs that keep Jews safe, reveals that this isn’t actually about antisemitism.

Passover Attack on Gov. Shapiro Reveals Trump Doesn’t Care about American Jews

The White House is using Jews as political pawns in its attack on democracy.

Last July, Project 2025's Kevin Roberts said “the second American Revolution ... will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
It was a declaration of war against the American people, a demand for our surrender. Some cowards in law, academia and business have submitted. Many of us never will.
