The past is stone, but the future is clay. Mother. Witch. Humanitarian. Resistance.

Jack Smith walked into the Senate, defended his prosecutions, rejected claims that his work was politically motivated, and refused to retreat under threats of prosecution. The hearing became a battle over evidence, power, accountability, and who gets to investigate whom. Smith for the WIN! #Pinks

This really was a huge, disgraceful moment for our country. Trump walked Xi past the presidential portrait display in the West Wing colonnade and said, β€œTrump, and then Trump, and this is the autopen… Biden. It’s Biden.” Xi can be heard laughing in the video.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
