I am a woman of a certain age still trying to get it right. I believe everyone should be free to be themselves. I create mandalas, like cats & Quiddler, chocolate & red wine. No DM’s please. 😉

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Breaking: Another victim, Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall prison after being denied vital medication and family visits. Depriving sick detainees of care until they die is murder by neglect. We demand complete transparency and justice for Edwin! 🎥 Statuscoup

Reminder: Todd Blanche has… -Weaponized the DOJ to persecute Trump’s political foes -Purged hundreds of career DOJ lawyers -Botched the release of the Epstein files and ignored victims’ wishes He can’t be trusted and has no business being Attorney General. The Senate must reject him.

I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.

300,000 Haitians legally living in the U.S. have officially lost their Temporary Protected Status this week. ICE is reportedly planning to target Haitian communities and fast-track deportations to Haiti, which is controlled by violent gangs and deep in crisis. Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds.

Outgoing Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are reportedly undecided about Todd Blanche's nomination for AG. A single GOP "No" vote in committee this Thursday could tank Blanche's nomination entirely. Call and tell them to reject Blanche: (202) 224-3121

"A federal judge just ordered all of the Epstein files to be turned over to him and DOJ must defend each redaction. This is solely because of Katie Phang’s lawsuit. Yay independent journalism! 👏:

The legacy media is reconsidering the White House Correspondence dinner because Trump insulted them. What they don't get is that they insulted their viewers and readers by attending in the first place. Support independent media that doesn't suck up to Trump whether he is nice to them or not.
