Professionally, worked for 25+ years in emergency services (EMT, firefighter, dispatcher, etc.). I love animals, especially dogs, and have done a lot of dog rescue. Reading and writing fantasy stories takes up most of the time that is left!

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.

On the eve of the Sandy Hook anniversary, there has been another campus shooting. This time at Brown University.
To the people in power: this is your legacy.
Thirteen years. Thirteen years of dead children, traumatized students, shattered families — while you stall, deflect, and do nothing.

When the GOP saw the stats — the more educated someone is, the less likely they vote Republican — they decided education must be the thing that’s wrong. 🙄

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Everyone should read Judge Xinis' full ruling on the Abrego Garcia case. It isn't just a passing legal skirmish. It goes deep. It stands as an encapsulation of the Trump era and of his lawlessness.
Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/

Fiasco for Trump as Judge Issues Harsh Rebuke in Abrego Garcia Case
Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling temporarily freed Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody. It also savagely indicted Trump’s lawless handling of this whole affair from start to finish.

There’s no doubt in my mind that many of Trump’s crimes are bigger than Watergate. If he doesn’t face consequences at the end of this…if he isn’t impeached, investigated, and imprisoned…I don’t know how we recover or move on as a nation.

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.
Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.
Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So the president was like “hey Indiana, help me cheat in the next election,” and Indiana was all “no thanks,” but then the president went “you better disenfranchise a bunch of your citizens or I’ll illegally withhold money to hurt you,” and the Indiana Senate went “in that case, an even bigger no.”

In 2017, I believed the institutions would hold on to withstand Trump’s worst impulses. They hung on by a thread. Then I watched Trump, Miller & Project 2025 plot for 4 years to make sure they wouldn’t hold again. Which is why I didn’t believe they would hold again. They aren’t.

Doing some job hunting right now. It’s astonishing to me, how many jobs there are listed at like $12, $13 an hour. Even some that want a degree, and pay like $15-20/hr.
It kinda takes a back burner to Trump’s other madness of course, but when Dems get back in power, this has got to be addressed.

Heads up everybody. I had read a while back that they’d already voted to keep the protections in place, and apparently that wasn’t true.
They’re saying Arlington would be potentially the first city in the country to get rid of LGBTQ protections, and it’s because of Trump’s threats. 😡🤬
