Book lover, sarcastic cynic, taking plenty of pictures before the dismantling of Democracy. I worked in healthcare too long to be impressed by your body parts. Block displays of skin and red hats. #quilter #quiltsky #quilting

Washington right now planning for a dictatorship...and they have no idea what is going 🤔 on
Trump: I FEEL GREAT NOTHING IS WRONG HERE LOOK A PHOTO OF ME GOLFING FROM A WEEK AGO Giuliani: I WAS HELPING SOMEONE DONT SPREAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT MY CAR WRECK Trump: EPSTEIN IS OVER HE DIED A LONG TIME AGO GET OVER IT Sure, guys.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
🚨Breaking: Sources close to Mar-a-Lago whisper that Trump is battling a severe illness. Rumors say he's bedridden, fighting for his life. Is this the end of an era? #TrumpHealth #RumorMill
33% of eligible voters DID NOT vote in the 2020 Presidential election.

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
Former US Attorney, Jennifer Kerkhoff Muyskens, has been charged with misconduct by the DC Bar for concealing and altering evidence during the J20 trials. New info from that hearing has revealed collaboration between Project Veritas and law enforcement. unicornriot.ninja/2025/newly-r...
This is happening because the GOP managed to undermine Unions in very effective ways, while convincing blue collar workers that they were on their side.
Or, are they just NOT voting???
That's because a billionaire from Germany named Peter Thiel (Palantir) needs a 10 billion dollar contract from America's defense fund using a "GROWING WARTIME DEMAND" to get it. They say he is extremely private. Probably bc he created a reason to rob our government. Like Elon musk and SpaceX.
Great piece Brian! Captures something I've been trying to articulate here recently. Urbanist ideas that don't prioritize people who are struggling in our cities can't work, because our cities can't work without them. #AddUrbanism+
I make $ 20.45 an hour. Average 54 hours a week. There is no way I can afford any type of apartment or dwelling, without having to resort to junky beat up old vehicle, bare minimum food, and myself not going to the doctor.
A few more stats: Nearly a third of the country's workforce—roughly 52 million people—earns under $15/hr. 12.1 million low-income tenants are now "severely cost burdened," spending at least half their income on rent. About 50% of people in homeless shelters—and 40% of those unsheltered—have jobs.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

How about the fact that EVERY ICE & federal agent in OR who identifies themselves as “POLICE” is committing a felony under OR state law? ORS 162.367 ORS 133.005 Like to see anyone from OR state or local govt address this, or is them breaking the law not an issue???
Using ICE usurps State powers under 10A. Using armed military violates Posse Commitatus. Lying (ex: "crime is up") to justify it is fraud-a crime in any state. Assault, illegal restraint, unwarranted search & seizure are also against the law in every state. Charge under State & local laws.
Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
People with weird names shouldn't be making important decisions for the country!!
I see they're not making fun of the name "Trump".
If he's got beef with dark complexions and funny names, he should take it up with the FBI director, the Director of National Intelligence, the vice president's wife, Vivak, etc.

“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
Smash the 💙 if you agree!
Will the 2nd Amendment protect us? Don’t be silly. But the 6th might. Let’s discuss.
Awww.... COME ON... They are only KIDS... and probably not even yours. s/
Just sayin’.
Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
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...
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽
None of us do... we just enjoy laughing at Rump.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
RFK Jr's cure for addiction and mental illness: no medications, no tv, no computers, no news, six days of labor, the Bible on Sunday.
The focus on "urban crime" is simply a heads up, "Black people are next."

For all the MAGAts that voted for Yam Tits to have the brown people deported and are now upset that brown people they like are being deported.... Fuck you.
I got a text earlier today from a liberal mom, outraged that she can't order BALLET TIGHTS because the vendor won't ship to the US right now. I told her one of the most useful things she can do right now is to vent about this situation to the other "apolitical" dance moms.
This, I believe. He's slashed national security, made the military White-only sycophants & weakened us in the eyes of the world "...While his inner circle hides it, dictators overseas are already calculating their next moves in a world without him." www.rawstory.com/trump-someth...
August 31, 2025 a federal judge halted the Trump administration‘s attempt to deport roughly 600 Guatemalan children over the holiday weekend. The operation had already begun with some kids placed on planes before the order came‼️ immigrant rights group filed emergency lawsuit‼️
Everyone parrots the line, “They’ll just replace Trump with another figurehead.” Bullsh*t. Later today in my latest JHN Newsletter I’ll break down why Trump is the one irreplaceable piece of this machine. When he’s gone...the whole thing starts to crack.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.
Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.
I spent 16 years living in Whitefield, NH. The hillbillies love Trump.
A reminder from your local-Masshole-in-exile that New Hampshire is to New England what Florida is to the United States, what Staten Island is to New York City, or what a shovel is to the head.

While Florida removes street artwork and memorials, Madison Wisconsin incorporates artwork from its communities into safer street design.
I’m kinda glad that Donald Trump is still alive and hope he lives long enough to see Kamala Harris book release. If he makes it to the final stop in Florida and dies soon afterwards it will be knowing how much more loved and respected she is compared to him right now. 😌
1st Amendment cancelled in DeSantis Florida: the Florida Highway Patrol arrested 3 protesters who dared to color with chalk the crosswalk in Orlando. Apparently cops have nothing else to do and the taxpayers can afford to pay for those useless police operations.
Florida politics will not be allowed to erase anyone!

Pay attention Canadians: Alberta premier Danielle Smith is copying the worst of the worst US fascist States (Florida!). Book banning is anti-democratic. Ban Danielle Smith instead!
Really tired of the “run into the National Guard in the dark” jumpscares (outside NoMa station on Florida)
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
I'll give you $50 for a 50% share if it comes with vanilla bean ice cream.
thedemocraticcoalition Ever notice that the happiest countries on Earth all protect Nature, fund education, and have strong social safety nets? Weird coincidence, right?
No candidate interviewing for medical school who, upon expressing RFK jr's views, would ever be accepted. They'd be laughed right out of the room. And yet this man runs the HHS – including the CDC, NIH, ACF, CMS, HRSA, and SAMHSA? WTAF?! Remove RFK jr for dereliction of duty. Immediately.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Never believe reports he’s dead, til a chick in a sparkly pink dress descends in a bubble and a bunch of short people start singing!
His words are very fitting for current times.
From your mouth to Satan's ear!
Oh, no! Now ICE is sad 😔😔
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Taken an hour ago. Healthy and fit as ever.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
Remember when they attacked Biden because "the American people deserve to know the truth about the President’s health?” Now after being missing for 5 days we get a picture of Trump taken with a telephoto lens from hundreds of feet away.
