“We can’t be a country with a paramilitary secret police because then we would be a nation with a paramilitary secret police” is something my brain genuinely says to me. I need my brain to change as fast as my world and that’s not easy.

#MondayVibes Trump’s erratic rhetoric and personal attacks on leaders of allied nations—such as his public reprimands of NATO members for defense spending, his transactional demands on Mexico and China. Trump is Jeffrey Epstein’s wingman. He is, in a word - “NASTY”. #BlueSkyVets #DemVoice1

Good opportunity to sort journalists into the "We've crossed a catastrophic line" bucket and the "You have to admit it's kind of awesome" bucket.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

I have crossed my fingers on so many un-presidential acts that could take him down, they’re stuck together, but this from the WSJ is promising.
If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

Follow this thread. Share widely. They clearly don’t want the people to see these indefensible images and stories.
Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Imagine a 6-year old…💔
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.
