The Trump regime is an illegitimate, evil, corrupt, fascist enterprise. Its supporters are hateful, cowardly, or deceived, but are all responsible. I will speak out against the regime every single day until they are held accountable. bit.ly/StandNow

Author, publisher, teacher. 😁Please read my books!😁
The orange felon has cut major funding for National Parks and is diverting that money into doing more of his destructive vanity projects for the bulldozed White House. This is unethical, it’s theft and it’s illegal, but totally on brand for the criminal fraud. Makes me sick.

Dear Comrade, Sungmanitu ( @zitkato.bsky.social ) pushes themselves hard to keep up the momentum of @chunkalutanetwork.bsky.social and our fundraising. They're doing more than most will ever see or know about. Please consider supporting the Winter Drive, but also help them with groceries if you can.
ICE arrested 43,128 people last month. That's 1,438 people every single day. 120 people per hour. Many were legal residents. Many were US citizens. So...

Someone please remind me that checking my email constantly will not make an important email arrive any faster. And, because it's the internet, someone else please take the opposing position and justify my obsessive behavior.

My watch tells me, a few times a day, to "Drink some water and take a rest," but now, with the meme I've chosen for a background, it says, "Take a rest and drink some water ... you raggedy bitch."

This is never getting fixed until Democrats start vocally arguing that IMMIGRATION IS GOOD instead of just saying, "well, we'd like to enforce immigration laws a bit less harshly than the Trump administration"
A young woman is now testifying behind the black curtain about racial profiling. Her father was picked up by ICE. She only found out when he didn't show up for work. When she found his vehicle (abandoned), ICE officers then snatched her brother. “My whole world was gone in a matter of hours.”

So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Springtime was Eric Swallwell and Tony Gonzalez, and Congress seems to have an inexhaustible supply of abusers.
And of course to hear about Todd Blanche is to hear about Jeffrey Epstein and all the ways the Trump Administration is dancing around Trump's long association with the serial rapist/trafficker.
This is another way we live in rape culture; we live in a culture where we have to hear about monstrosity all the time. Sometimes I look at those top stories lists and wonder if I'm the only one who notices that two or three or four of the ten are about violence against women.
It's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.

We just lost someone I would never have been expected to be friends with... A larger than life 'Marmite' character, controversial, sometimes infuriating, but witty, sharp and fun. And capable of extreme kindness, empathy and charm, especially in private. Gone far too soon. Desperately sad news
