Photographer and cat enthusiast! Until the US ends the drug war, provides ample healthcare, stops sending people to foreign prisons, stops kidnapping immigrants, and stops using solitary confinement - NO I will NOT stop talking about politics.

Notice ICE recruits aren’t hiding their faces. Disgraceful way to make a living! We’ve got money to hand ICE fat salaries, signing bonuses, even student loan forgiveness (no college degree required). But we can’t afford to pay teachers, fund better healthcare, or keep Social Security alive.
Nine grafs deep into the article and we find out: "Pentagon officials were still working Wednesday on what legal authority they would tell the public was used to back up the extraordinary strike in international waters."
There’s only one way to make us stop demanding the release of the Epstein files.

Listening to RFK speak for 1 minute should be enough of a warning
Good morning to you 🌞 from the Southern Coast on the
Losers then, losers now.
The fact that the Epstein survivors had to give a press conference outside – and not in the halls of congress, shows you exactly who is guilty AF and the power they are wielding to try and silence the victims.
They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
I'm in Baltimore too, we are not happy
you can be doing so good but then something so small and inconsequential like a ‘looming federal invasion of your city’ can completely throw you off
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."

Today in What the Rump? The Trump family is grifting the entire country thru crypto. They have made BILLIONS in profit via cryptocurrency, and insider trading. @keithedwards.bsky.social youtu.be/A8bNs9aWzKo
As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
#FuckTexas First, how will you know are you going to have bathroom monitors. "Um excuse me mam I'm going to need to look under your skirt or hey sir drop em we need to see your junk." I really think Texas and Florida are having a contest to see who can be the most fascist state.
@chickgonebad.bsky.social @penguin20212.bsky.social
A friend told me this is the lamest fascist takeover ever and I have to agree. A bunch of bumbling idiots are destroying our country.
And their dislike of non white ppl
Just try asking the average American what the negative costs of isolationism are and you will get your answer as to why this is the path we are going down again. When any repub in power pulls funding from education what do you expect? I don't think we discuss US isolationism in school at all
YES!! They remind me of Windows 98 games
Somewhere in Iceland.
Pretty sure it's a bit late to reverse their actions.
Today in What the Rump? Multiple countries stop mailing shipments and packages to the US bc of confusion and expenses in new US charges and costs. www.wwltv.com/article/news...
💯💯💯💯
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
And this is how Felon47 works…everything is transactional…so you know he is benefiting from this deal.
Today in What the Rump? DHS is swabbing migrant children as young as 4 to create a database of DNA. Reps in Congress tried to bring this up but the repubs cut the session short. Who do you think they are practicing this tech for? Palantir runs the country now? #rebelhq youtu.be/1dx8VltRsUE
Today in What the Rump? 3rd party cameras in parking lot and along roads are tracking license plates and people thru the country - which has been "unknowingly" accessed by border patrol and used to track women getting medical procedures. @reallyamerican.bsky.social youtu.be/G2iVRbBMdq0
Is THAT why his casinos went bankrupt? Cause that's insane
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
Today in What the Rump? Stephen Miller is trying to designate the ENTIRE Democratic party as a terrorist organization - which would make it illegal to be a part of. #VampireStephMiller is a wannabe comic book villain. @dollemore.com youtu.be/qQ9K_aQTuPw

Don't worry, they will be using this tragedy to weaponize laws against the people they don't like soon enough
To whom it may concern: If you need a work force to pick up trash and rake leaves in DC, then hire National Park Service employees. That's not what the National Guard is for. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The ousting of Dr. Susan Monarez as CDC Director, followed within hours by the resignations of Dr. Deb Houry, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, and Dr. Daniel Jernigan, mark a collapse of public health leadership with consequences that reach every American household.
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
That disturbing moment when the💡goes off in his head and he basically tells us how he’ll stay in power. “So you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections” #Pinks #ProudBlue #PedoTrump #Felon
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity. There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar. Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
NEW: A federal grand jury has REFUSED to indict sandwich guy! I imagine the DoJ will keep trying. They have two weeks, at which point they’ll have to drop the charges or reduce it to a misdemeanor. 🥪 www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
You are more likely to get sick because Trump stopped monitoring at least 6 foodborne pathogens. Why? Who the fuck knows, he probably doesn't. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Trump has devalued the dollar by roughly 10% already. If he gets control of the fed, he could devalue it further. Using his rhetorical device, some have said it's so he could replace the greenback with a crypto product. Perhaps.
Trump raise tariff taxes to 50% on imports from India
Herr Himmler says what?
Is anyone surprised that turd is willing to throw the blame at everyone other than himself?
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

So the guy who wants the Nobel Peace Prize and claims to end wars wants to call the DoD the War Department? Mmmkay.
@moreperfectunion.bsky.social Couldn't get the link to work in that comment so here is their account ^. Also here is their coverage of a Bitcoin mine in TX that is causing all kinds of health issues in the local community youtu.be/m7_WDzPyoqU
2/2: these are companies often backed by large corporations like Amazon, the kinds of places that can AFFORD to build their own generators/power plants and not build within residential communities! Glad that @moreperfectunion is covering this!
1/2:Companies that are making billions in profit for Bitcoin mining and AI data centers are building in rural areas full of low income people, then using the towns electricity and water and making local utility prices skyrocket, causing health issues across these communities. youtu.be/Mn5ttoXxAe8

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
For anyone who is paying attention to global politics, we are falling WAY behind BRICS. Here is a very detailed explanation by @richardwolffe.bsky.social youtu.be/0FRlizPbm_E?...
Judge released the two TEENAGERS who were claimed to have "mercilessly beaten" DOGE staffer "Big Balls". "Big Balls" probably said something racist to them. Wouldn't be the first time he said something racist. youtu.be/MryK_NXwS6E
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
I love the new Cracker Barrel logo! 🧡 #EpsteinFiles
DoJ has 30 days to get an indictment for sandwich guy from a federal grand jury. It's been 8 days.
Here, fixed it.
I wasn't overreacting.
Cutting $800 million for research funding that goes against Trump's "anti-DEI" rules. Research certainly isn't important for us to be healthier, or have more jobs. Not at all! apnews.com/article/supr...
ICE is targeting delivery drivers in DC, and MPD is helping them. 📌 ICE is not police 📌 DC law requires uniformed officers to show their badge and nameplate while on duty And Uber needs to do better by its drivers!
@tompowelljr.bsky.social He's right. THIS IS KIDNAPPING. WE NEED TO STOP THEM. youtu.be/5DpNhcWBRW4?...

James Madison was elected in 1812 during the War of 1812. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1864 during the Civil War. FDR was elected in 1944 during WWII. JBJ & Nixon were elected in 1964 & 1972 during the Vietnam War. George W. Bush was elected in 2004 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
I can’t help but notice some of the uniforms out front at the WH today don’t fit properly—pants dragging, sleeves off. Small detail, but in military bearing, details are the message. Presentation matters.
Texas in 2025.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Under no circumstances should anyone travel to the US right now. You will not be safe. DO NOT GO TO THE US!
“Immigration enforcement” shouldn’t involve terrorizing families.
Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work. The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.
She has every right to demand them. This administration will send them to the prison in El Salvador or the South Sudan. #USDemocracy
I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.
On Saturday, about 5,000 people gathered at the Capitol in Austin to protest President Donald Trump and the Texas Legislature’s plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts to give Republicans more seats in the U.S. House. via @kutnews.bsky.social

Oops, *supreme Court
You know what makes me feel unsafe as a DC resident? Hordes of emotionally unstable straight men, armed and walking our streets like they're zookeepers maintaining the animals. The same kind of loons who attacked this city 4.5 years ago. How many of those masked thugs were there at the Capitol?
I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.
