It’s complicated! I’m a late 1950’s born boomer, “Bernie Sanders” democrat, nondenominational pastor, public school substitute teacher, wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Social justice causes are my passion!
@maddow.bsky.social Roanoke Virginia had hundreds turn out in sleet and snow with 18 degree windchill on Sunday afternoon. We’re taking back our democracy!

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com with all do respect, you are trying too hard to defend the traitors. As a very active Democrat in VA, I can promise you, both of our Senators are on their way out! Sen. Kaine turned his back on us with immigration reform, the MV pipeline, and now this! He’s a DINO!!

@kaine.senate.gov FYI, you DID NOT save SNAP for Virginians. Trump has already gone to the Supreme Court to block it!!! You DO NOT represent all Virginians! If you did, you would have gotten a clue last Tuesday!!! We even voted blue in SW VA! Dems finally found a spine and YOU just ripped it out
November 10, 2025 at 7:13 PM
Okay Virginia Dems, it’s time to find someone to primary Tim Kaine! He has decided it’s okay to cave in and let us all lose our healthcare coverage. Could his pals in Big Pharma be behind his vote? Time for him to go!!!

@allinwithchris.bsky.social Don’t know about now, but in the early 2000’s Colorado most definitely had vaccine mandates. Moved from Cali to Colorado. My son ,who had all required vaccines, had to get a Meningitis shot and a Hepatitis shot to enroll in high school there.

@briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social Don’t apologize for you tears! Anyone with half a heart should be in tears tonight. As for the “thoughts and prayers”, Trump and his gun loving cronies can shove the those thoughts and prayers! They are hollow words from empty, heartless, cruel people!

It’s obvious Trump is going to leverage a pardon in exchange for Maxwell testifying in his favour. The fix is in.
The US Trump DOJ to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell in what increasingly appears to be part of a secret kickback.

Maxwell’s lawyer says: "We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case." #3E #OpDeathEaters #Epstein

@velshimsnbc.bsky.social One more thing that immigrants are doing that may be noticed in the economy: Removing cash from bank accounts and cashing paychecks rather than depositing them. Cash has to be kept on the ready for family members to take care of “what if” plans.

Commentary: Sen. Alex Padilla’s crime? Being Mexican in MAGA America
The manhandling of California Sen. Alex Padilla and his subsequent depiction by conservatives as a modern-day Pancho Villa isn't surprising one bit.

This is the ICE agent that tackled California Senator (my Senator!) Alex Padilla.

Let’s make him famous.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut): Alex Padilla didn't burst in. He was led by members of the Trump administration. He was accompanied by an FBI agent and a member of the national guard. The administration brought him into that room.

Not just anybody.

Kristi Noem would not allow the chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on citizenship, immigration, and border safety to ask a question about how the Trump regime deploys ICE.

MAGA doesn’t want a nation of laws. They want unquestioned white nationalist authoritarian rule.
Senator Alex Padilla tried to ask Kristi Noem a question

He was assaulted, removed from the room, forced to the floor, handcuffed and arrested

Meanwhile, Noem blathered on about “liberating” Los Angeles

But arresting those who question authority is what tyrants do

Name & shame these "agents."

Make these "ICE" thugs famous so wherever they go they are shunned, spat at & harassed.

Sand in the gears, buggers in their fries!

Don't make it easy for the Gestapo to abuse & harass. Harass back. Get close up photos of their faces, ask for their names.
