Reading and gardening through this next administration. Working on making my home a haven and practicing daily resistance.This feels bigger than us so I’m here for hope, laughs, and reminders to breathe. Also, can we start a customer service revolution? 💙

The late Iain Banks remarks have never been more relevant. Asylum seekers actually get a pittance from the state and they haven't caused any political problems. Immigration is a good and positive thing and it has helped build Scotland into the modern tolerant and free country it is today.
Okay, okay, I’ll do it.
This.
This should be on a billboard.
Just followed!
We need to be reminded of this daily.
What if he and his handlers are just locked away planning greater evil? Then what do we do?
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

They’re still hopeful for reaping the benefits of kissing his 🍑.
A duet. 🙂
😐
😂😂😂
I think they just hooked me.

He recognizes the traits they have in common I imagine.
Is she trustworthy to anyone?
How did they decide that that was the number one criticism? 😒
FEMA employee on leave describes "culture of fear “ among agency employee
One problem is that he thinks HE gets to decide what America is and is not. 😕
Imagine starting science from scratch. 😳
He asked this fool a yes or no question. They all just propagandize. 🤮
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
We keep seeing this exact gaslighting over and over — @RepJohnRose & Sexton also said this to NC5 $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts only impacting people who *shouldn’t be on it* + “waste/fraud/abuse” is nonsense Also: if all this fraud exists, why 0 arrests?
As always they’re talking g to the primed. 😐 To everyone else it sounds batshit crazy
He’s given them their mulching orders.
Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.
This sounds like the direction we’re headed in. 🇺🇸😔
I do believe they want Americans in survival mode so that we aren’t in the streets pushing back.
They’re probably trying to upload his consciousness now. Lol!
Astrid Johnson
I think they choose to see it as an unavoidable lottery.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
That sounds like a potential SNL skit.
👇🏽🎯
Is anyone still pushing for full disclosure on all things Epstein?

How is their base not insulted?!?!
Nothing says respect for our troops like deploying the National Guard only to have them pick up trash and spread mulch all day.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Well, he feels like he gets to decide what The United States of America is anything that is not his branding of the U.S. is all of the negative words he knows. Horrible Drug, Rat and rodent-infested Living in hell So sad Unlivable Plagued Failed ‘Third-World’…
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Bernie Sanders: ‘Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
They’re only propagandists. They add nothing positive or worthwhile to the national discourse.

Ousted ABC reporter Terry Moran slammed the network for yielding to Trump, claiming ABC prioritized avoiding White House conflict and corporate interests over journalistic integrity and serving the public. www.rawstory.com/terry-moran-...
We’ve been lied to our whole lives. The maps we grew up with shrink Africa down, making it look so much smaller than it really is. The truth: Africa is massive. You can fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and most of Europe inside it—and still have room left over.
The Justice Department had once argued that Ghislaine Maxwell should be sentenced to at least 30 years in prison. Now its second-ranking official—and Donald Trump’s former lawyer—is aligned with a woman whose crimes the department had called “monstrous.”
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
I can’t help but wonder if they have any remaining qualified investigators. I think they just say stuff.
‼️‼️
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
We need to elect people who are aware of this and will act accordingly.
One day readers will learn of these things and then they’ll get to the part where it happened under DT and say, “oh” and flip forward in that book to better times.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
she said that “black” with a hard r
Trump will be giving military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, the J6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol with a violent mob. He is also giving her family $5 million in taxpayer dollars. Fallen Capital Police officer Brian Sicknick, who lost his life trying to protect the Capitol, gets NOTHING!
😂 You have to laugh at the unmitigated gall of some people. But also, he just wants his name in a headline for saying that stupid sh*t and proving his loyalty at the expense of his dignity so that he can benefit with money or power. That seems to be the formula. How do we teach our chldrn better?
Will wonders never cease?
CINDY MCCAIN: “The desperation is overwhelming.”
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
I wonder whose agenda such a crime might serve.
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
Landlords say they can’t afford a rent freeze, but have $2.5M to give to Cuomo. Reminds me of corporations that spend millions to bust unions instead of just raising wages and offering benefits. Doing the right thing is always cheaper than the cost to block it.
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
The grifting and corruption is infinite at this point. Follow the money, right @hcrichardson.bsky.social ?
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
📌 Scientists are not in the business of advancing missions antithetical to public health. ✊🏼
The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.
He’s trying to support Trump’s narrative?
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
We are a dumpster fire right now but I hope we have the …strength, grit, unity, ability to grow and learn… to come out of this stronger.
For the late/west coast crowd, my Loonie Politics column: Danielle Smith wants to gerrymander her next election #cdnpoli
Refusing to act, then falsely accusing those who want to see something tangible done to protect kids of attacking prayer on top of it, is doubly shameless.
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
😔
Yes.
And WE need to be creating the narrative and not allow him to build the brand he wants. The media has been complicit which has made it harder. Every scandal needs to be on billboards… The media is flooded with lies and double speak.
remember, y’all: we hang together, or we all hang separately. (as ben franklin famously said) you cannot fight your way out of authoritarianism by telling the authoritarians that you’re willing to offer up a group in exchange for freedom. it only gives the bullies the signal to divide & conquer
Just to make this clear: she revealed an undercover operator - she openly revealed the list and even put the list on Twitter
