I love this Pacific Crest Alphabet that was in the 1983 PCTA newsletter. “A is for the Acorn that fell on my head. B is for the Bear that chased me from my bed. C is for my Cracked lips that hurt when I smile. D is for the Dirt I trod mile after mile...” #pct

The federal government as ordained and established by the Constitution has ceased to function, and what has replaced it isn't our government under our Constitution. That's not flippant rhetorical hyperbole, I don't say it insensitive to what the consequences are. But it's the grim reality we face.

When the reckoning comes, John Roberts and the SCOTUS 6 need to be held just as responsible as Trump for the crimes and injustices they allow his regime to commit.
Chief Justice John Roberts has teamed up with President Donald Trump to hold nearly $5 billion in foreign aid funding hostage.

5 days, 10 hours, and 20 minutes until the funding at issue expires.
In other news, Chief Justice Roberts's "administrative" stay from 9/9 — allowing the Trump admin hold off spending nearly $5 billion in foreign aid that Congress said is to be spent by 9/30 — remains in effect tonight, one week and one hour from the spending deadline. www.lawdork.com/i/173230405/...

This is an incredibly brave woman. Every one of these ICE goons must be prosecuted and imprisoned when we get through this. bsky.app/profile/grap...
A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

My employer sent instructions early this year about what we should do if ICE shows up at any of our locations. It made me feel safer to know they’ll protect us. This helpful video has advice for private sector employers and HR professionals about what to do when ICE shows up at work.

"Of 14,777 unique articles on the Times’ homepage over the 310 day tracking period, 293 articles–almost one a day–focused on Biden’s age compared with just 27 articles focused on Project 2025, a ratio of 10.9 to one."

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

288 people have been rendered to El Salvador’s mega-prison. We only know 257 of their names—and not because the US or Salvadoran governments shared them.

It shouldn't be up to civil society to compile things like this table. Of course, none of this should be happening at all.

Little Lenny is proving to be quite the student! He watches his mum, Lima Lima, use a tree as a scratching post — and, of course, decides to give it a try himself. Imitation is everything when you’re learning life’s lessons!

7/10. Mumpery. Behavior typical of the Mump regime. Gaslighting, theft, scams, tax avoidance, disinformation, Putinism, dictator worship, threatening U.S. allies, submitting to U.S. enemies, persecuting Americans

Hi! I'm a former Major in the United States Marine Corps! It looks like you're using a war metaphor without really understanding it!

Elon Musk owns and fully controls the territory you're talking about.

It makes no sense to contest that control unless we have a plan to win that contest outright.
