No. He can’t be a Steeler. I love the man, but that’s a bridge too far.

In the last few weeks we’ve watched ICE:

Pepper spray the Portland frog
Tear gas members of Chicago PD
Zip tie children
Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night
Open fire on a civilian in her car

Yet they say immigrants are the threat.

Protesters are the threat.

We know better.

Frank Zappa said this in 1989.

THE ENEMY? "IT SHOULD BE CLEAR FROM RECENT EVENTS THAT AMERICA'S ENEMY IS NOT THE COMMUNISTS OVER THERE, BUT THOSE DERANGED RIGHT-WING LUNATICS RIGHT HERE."- FRANK ZAPPA, 1989

Thank God I was able to get out of that city before the war escalated to this unhinged violence.

Trivia question for you (and be honorable and don’t look up the answer) What MLB team had the first costumed mascot?

The Mariners trident raise is one of the goofiest things in baseball and I love it so much.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

I love this.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 7d

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Whether people like it or not, this woman is going to be president one day. As for me, I’m here for it.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

No, because I rent the place. I can’t alter the electrical system since I don’t own the place.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

If I wasn’t broke and facing eviction I’d give all I could. I love NPR (WYPR where I am)

Be more courageous. This video addresses one small issue but illustrates the cowardly tip toeing of that party. Another good example is marriage equality. That judicial branch did that, not elected democrats.

This video is a distillation of why democrats have become so unable to grow their base. Throw out the octogenarians, the Schumer and Pelosis.

Just last week, Trump posted—and then deleted—a “text” to Pam Bondi, urging her to go after his political enemies.

Today, the DOJ takes aim at the former head of the FBI.

This video proves why.

The most corrupt administration in history.
