“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.”

Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.
Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

If Musk, Capo Trump’s enforcer, meant to freeze the work of government, he’s doing a great job. By short-circuiting the legislative process, he has invited (and is receiving) lawsuits that will freeze everything in place. This is what Amateur Hour gets you.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Speaker Mike Johnson:

"I don't know if you saw his executive order on gender, but it defines life as beginning at conception rather than birth."

When we said Donald Trump and MAGA were coming after abortion at the federal level, we were right.

I’m seeing a lot of confusion about the Equal Rights Amendment online.

I've been working on the ERA for 13 years & literally wrote a book about it.

So, let me help answer some questions.

1) Yes, it really is a real amendment & fully part of the U.S. Constitution. Full stop.

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

People love to use the frog in the heating pot analogy when we talk about dictators and fascism and cults.

But they forget… The frog can jump out.

And when you have 340 million frogs, jumping around your kitchen, you’re not getting anything done either, no matter how many billions you have

Pete Hegseth saying women are unsuited for combat brings to mind the story Retired U.S. Army Capt. Daniella Mestyanek Young tells about alerting her patrol they were walking into an ambush. Only she—a woman—noticed the absence of children at an Afghani village.

I can't tell you how absolutely livid I feel about the fact that, while I'm checking in with Los Angeles friends to make sure they and their homes are safe, certain Republican senators are going on TV and explaining with shitty little grins how LA had it coming and doesn't deserve relief aid.

I walk a lot. This time doubles as photography time too. DSLR’s are too heavy to carry so I use my phone, which has been fun to see what I can come up with.
