The Border Patrol and ICE have had the power to set up checkpoints within the orange enhanced security zone on this ACLU map since 1953. Knowing our rights is now vital to the 2 of 3 Americans living there due to Trump’s mass deportation schemes. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...
I live in rural Texas where Trump flags fly and Christian Nationalist billboards dot the highways. Many of my neighbors get news from Fox and their church. I volunteer at a food bank where we have clients earning <$1K a month still proudly wear their “Christian Nations” or Trump T-shirts. Very sad.

Stopped by the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library, and noticed the Anne Frank Memorial. I was profoundly touched by The Diary of Anne Frank and remember being grateful I’d never live in a time when people are rounded up and sent to foreign camps. But here we are. Tragic & unforgivable.

Chat GPT (unsurprisingly) ranks 21st century presidents from best to worst. 1. Obama 2. Biden 3. Bush 4. Trump. Nice to know AI occasionally reports things accurately, isn’t it? #Obama #Biden #Bush #Trump youtu.be/KiFfTdPvHSM?...

Another example of Trump’s wasteful spending. I urge Congress not to approve the unnecessary change. #Trump #Congress www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
Trump's Pentagon name change could cost up to $2 billion
Officially changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War can only be done by Congress and would require updating thousands of signs, rewriting digital code and creating new letterheads,...

I miss having a real president, don’t you?
A real president does this.

Picked up a brand new iPhone today. Set it up. Put it on a side table in my carpeted family room. It fell 18” onto a thick carpet. When I picked it up, I got a glass splinter from the chipped edge. My older iPhone made that drop regularly without a scratch. Definitely not a happy customer.

I don’t know who gave ragweed the scientific name Ambrosia artemisiifolia, but I feel sure they didn’t have seasonal allergies. It’s November and the weather forecast doesn’t call for a hard freeze until after Thanksgiving, so we still have huge patches of this stuff everywhere. #Allergies #Texas

Cattle prices are down because people aren’t able to buy beef at the higher price. Maybe the “businessman” needs a lesson in supply and demand.

A number of other countries already deny reaidency (but not visas) to those who are overweight. New Zealand sets the entry barrier at 15% over the ideal weight. (150 pounds for a 5’7” woman whose ideal weight is 130).https://newrepublic.com/post/202898/trump-us-visas-deny-fat-people-obesity
Trump Says U.S. Visas Can Be Denied to Fat People From Now On

Monumental but essential.
"After Trump is gone, restoring integrity to the U.S. government, and curbing the sort of flagrant corruption that has suddenly become commonplace here, will be a monumental task."

Walmart sells a Thanksgiving Dinner Box each year. Last year’s box contained 21 items, all brand name products. This year’s box contains 15 items, all Walmart’s own generic brand. 15 items is 71% of 21 items - so the cost is 4% higher. #Shrinkflation #TrumpLies
Like shoppers aren't going to notice that this is a blatant lie. He must think we're as stupid as he is.

Just a reminder: Ms. Boebert is a US Congresswoman representing Colorado, a state where 22% of the residents are Hispanic. #Racism #MAGA
This is the Lauren Boebert that Colorado has come to know: a vile racist with no humanity. Someone who celebrates discrimination, dehumanization, and violence unleashed by the federal government against her own constituents.
