Something has always bothered me about the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The ego thing would be to call it the Gulf of the United States since he’s POTUS. Something clicked for me tonight realizing that he does signal his intentions though they might not be obvious. 1/

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they would send them to the state. The state would hold the money in escrow

Experts Say Blue States Can Stop Paying Federal Taxes. There’s Precedent
If we could use nullification for people to get high, why can’t we use it to protect human rights and stop fascism?

This is beautiful. And it’s a shame that so many American’s don’t see them as an amazing American couple instead of something beneath them, non-citizens

This hurts on so many levels, but the chairs and tables in front of window doors tells me we are all doomed. Feng Shui holds some truth.

Feel like something is missing in the discussions about the Trump/Mamdani meeting. Yes, Trump was probably enamored of Mamdani. But Zohran also has the upper hand because he can hurt Trumps wallet. Trump Org is based in NYC on top of the Tish James and Alvin Bragg still has tea to spill.

Yes, let us praise our elders for all the amazing contributions that have given us, and praise them even more when they step aside for the younger generation.
Well done Nydia! And well done to my City Hall rep, Tiffany. This is how it’s done.

Representative Nydia Velázquez is the blueprint. A truly badass Boricua.
As the first Puerto Rican woman ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, she opened doors for so many of us – myself included – and inspired a generation to believe in the power and possibilities of public service.

This is like saying if FL broke off from the US. And 34 years later US invades FL. And the best way to fix it is that they should get to know each other better. What the Actual F?

A truly universal health care system isn't just good policy. It's good politics.
Until then, let's get those enhanced ACA subsidies back to keep health care affordable. But remember: we're talkin' subsidies.

The story of the rings and the quote:
In 2001, on the breakwater in Provincetown behind the house where his family had taken their August vacation every year for decades, Steve got down on one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?" and I said "Of course I will."

Tattoo Thursday! This is the Whitman quote from Song of Myself that we had engraved inside our wedding rings. I had "every atom belonging to me," and Steve had "as good belongs to you." He was anti-tattoo, but I warned him, "within a year of you dying, I'm getting another." So here it is.
