Mom, wife, teacher, reader, writer, all around nerd, & a small blue blip in a red state who is tryin’ hard to fight the good fight. Also the owner of a black cat who happens to be an asshole most of the time. 🐈⬛

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
PIERINO OSTA Puerto Madryn, Argentina
Martha sucked ass this morning. Hypocritical double standard when it comes to questioning.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing

“Blind obedience to authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” — Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
Yeah, you should.
I feel this 😞
Very scary times we live in.....
Bahahahaha, thank you for making me lol today! 😂😂😂
🚨BREAKING: 3rd Circuit REJECTS RNC motion to pause ruling requiring Pennsylvania counties to count undated/wrongly dated ballots. This means counties cannot reject undated and wrongly dated ballots while the case continues on appeal. Congrats to our clients DSCC and DCCC!
Was he seriously on the list???? And how did that happen in the first place??? Ugh.
So true 👇🏼
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?
We’re not distracted and it’s not going away.
Real wealth is a fresh fig, still warm from the sun. It is the sound of your children fighting over something pointless, because they have no real problems. It’s buying the same groceries whether they’re on sale or not, and it is the sound of owls and bats and frogs at night.
Parental leave at my school is relatively good (by US standards), but whenever people say “How lucky!” I have to correct them. No, it wasn’t luck. This is a legally-binding policy my union fought for. Don’t minimize the fight.
Truth.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth. It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY. She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker. Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.
Heading to UK early in July and can’t wait no matter what the exchange rate is. My daughter hopes to procure a job during our short stay. 😁😉
Deplorable.
Fantastic footage! 💥💥💥 Wink, Wink 😉😉 It's now officially the G6! plus a geriatric idiot uncle. (Like the one we all treat politely at family get-togethers, knowing full well that things will only become fun once the old fart has gone!) #NoKings
Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong. We should be united ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
The comments at the end are the worst part.
Scott Pelley—American author and reporter for CBS News for more than 31 years, did not hold back
Working hard to keep his cult members angry and fired up by spouting the disinformation they crave. Lunatic. Narcissist. Dictator.
This hits hard.
The U.S. won’t achieve true greatness until it admits it never had it. Slavery, genocide, segregation, internment camps, this isn’t a golden age, it’s a wound we’ve never treated. If greatness is the goal, justice must be the path.
Wow. Listen to Bruce Springsteen kick off his European tour, talking about what is happening here.
Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏
Oscar and Felix shared this.
You all do realize he more than likely brought up Alcatraz to take the heat off of him saying.. **he feels no special obligation to uphold the constitution** …THAT is the story folks. Not a dilapidated tourist attraction. STAY. FOCUSED.
This is about all of us. Never forget that.
Hell yeah! Look at Maine leading the way🔥 Public schools everywhere, take note: Do not comply in advance.
Only way to do it if you love your kid.
I am as upset about the economy and human trafficking to jungle prisons as everyonr else. But that the Trump administration is trying to erase women and people of color from our history is something we should be talking about far more.
This has to happen.
The true Truth Social. #blacksky
No song for this shit show.
This story is so upsetting — we need to be shouting it from the rooftops. The more names and stories the general public can put to "238 detainees," the better.
Pete Hegseth just texted me the Colonel's Secret Recipe.
This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.
This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.
Cory Booker talking about PHD dissertations that will someday be written about this President, and how "Trump will be looking down and saying 'great, people are talking about me.'" With all due respect, Senator Booker I am not sure that Donald will be looking DOWN.
Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.
Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."
In Why They Can't Write, pubbed in 2018, I explored in significant detail how students had been alienated from reading and writing by a system that didn't support that work. Think of the book as "why they won't write" now. www.amazon.com/Why-They-Can...

I just watched a story about a teacher in Idaho fighting back after being forced to take down a sign that said, "Everyone is Welcome Here." This kind of stuff is beyond STUPID. If someone is offended by a "Everyone is Welcome Here" sign, they have psychological issues that need to be dealt with.
Jawdropping. You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States. This country is unrecognizable.
Boycott Airbnb! They’re DOGE!
Sybil Ludington rode to warn the Patriot militia of the British coming, similar to that of Paul Revere, & Sybil was only 16. She covered nearly 40 miles-more than 2x what Revere had ridden-raising 400 men, & fought off a highway man with her father’s musket. (Details in ALT text)
Looking forward to reading about how DEI killed JFK www.reuters.com/legal/us-jus...
Very mad
We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!
⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵The iconic image known as Rosie was created by the American artist J. Howard Miller in 1942. Women played a huge role in during WWII. Many of these women were Black.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #WomansHistoryMonth thehistoryinsider.com/black-rosies/
That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.
Dicks Sporting Goods is one of the good guys! 🏆
For Women's History Month, may we all remember and summon the courage of Rachel Carson, who wrote Silent Spring to inform the world what DDT was doing to the songbirds, raptors,and by extension, us. While battling cancer, she stood her ground against savage attacks by the chemical industry...
Over the last few weeks, we have seen displays of unfettered cruelty. Cruelty isn’t power. It’s a primal display of weakness and ignorance. Kindness and empathy are intelligence. We must never forget that.

Our schools are not your churches. No taxpayer vouchers for private religious schools.
Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine
"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."
All. Of. This. Right. Here.
At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a humble cottage in the middle of the forest, a vintage mystery novel, the sound of a pouring rain, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of freshly-baked croissants?
