I’ve gotta say the speed with which many people bent a knee to fascism was not something I was prepared for.

That’s why the footage from Portland sparks so much hope.

People are fighting back in unique ways.

They’re making us smile. They’re fighting for freedom AND for joy.

Seattle is a beautiful city with law abiding citizens. They don’t need federal law enforcement. Leave Seattle alone!

Homeless people are not the enemy.

They can’t “just try harder” their way into housing.

It’s the system that’s failing.

Most of us are one emergency away from being homeless ourselves.

We need affordable housing, universal basic income, healthcare & social supports.

We need a safety net

Don’t stop talking about the Epstein Files. I feel like the tides are about to shift over this. Let’s hope it happens soon. Epstein isn’t going away.

#ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files and everyone knows it.

Just sayin’:
“Comey’s attorney said he planned to challenge the case as selective and vindictive…He is also planning to argue the indictment should be dismissed because Halligan wasn’t lawfully appointed as U.S. attorney.”

My prediction and analysis from last week:

DISMISS THIS!

Pam Bondi will look good sitting in court in a pair of cuffs someday, and I hope I live long enough to see it.

Please share this far and wide; Adelita Grijalva won the ELECTION 71% to 27%; but Mikey the Johnson is holding up her appointment; because he’s protecting PEDOPREZ!

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

A federal judge ruled that senior DOJ officials' comments created a "realistic likelihood" of vindictiveness in its criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Abregio Garcia is now entitled to a hearing to argue for tossing his case on these grounds. https://bit.ly/48jnA4D
