Puppies Resisting a Red State 🚫👑🏳️‍🌈🐶👮‍♀️☮️📎
@gaj724.bsky.social
Resisting for 57 years since I was tear gassed peacefully protesting police brutality, Vietnam & Nixon at 14. A retired 🏳️‍🌈 cop now living in Florida enjoying gardening 🌸 Puppies 🐶 and Good Trouble. Vegetarian. I vet all, no posts. No follow. No DM’s. 🚫ICE.

And what is destroyed & what is lost with each day of this debacle? Trump and his administration are human lawnmowers. Everything is mowed down in it's path. The only thing left are weeds.

For President's Day, Donald posted a picture of himself trying to look tough (he looked like my grandmother, but she never wore that much makeup), and this quote:

"I was the hunted. Now I’m the hunter."

Another reason to stop celebrating this holiday.

There really wasn’t much News about this walk at all. I sometimes think that if it wasn’t for some of us promoting this on social media, it would have been missed.
Thank you PBS

A concentration camp without even the pretense of for-show pretend medical care is a death camp.
A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend

The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting

Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor

ABOLISH

It turns out the government is keeping public lists of those fiercely defending President Trump and his cabal of pedophiles.

They’re called sex offender registries.

This, my friends, is how it is done: Lean in. Expose. Defy.

The phrase “Speaking truth to power,” has become something of a cliche. Maybe that’s because we see it so seldom in practice. But we saw it last night, and it was spectacular.

NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr.

Colbert went on air and revealed it anyway.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

My podcast today travels back to the summer of 2000, when 16-year-old Molly Bish arrived at a quiet pond in rural Massachusetts, ready to begin another day as a lifeguard. Within minutes, she had vanished without a trace. Only her whistle, her sandals and her towel were left behind.

Truly haunting!

Naturally, Trump is going to try to cash in on this. Every t-shirt, coffee cup, everything with the airport’s name on it means Trump will make money off it.

That's one way to characterize leaving a dictatorship in place with US backing in order to profit from it with no oversight or accountability from Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Chris Wright on seized Venezuelan oil: "We've sold about $1 billion of oil so far. We've recently signed agreements to sell about another $5 billion in the next several months. So you're talking well north of $10 billion a year ... this is way out of the box, groundbreaking Trump diplomacy."

📌 Folks, you’re on social media, here is something everyone can do. Google “ICE facility being built in” and insert your state or county. If you find one, put it on blast and contact your local officials to say you oppose it. We need to protest these facilities before they open.

Thank you, @maddow.bsky.social , for spotlighting the opposition to Trump’s concentration camps being built around the country.

Many of these are for profit, profiting from cruelty and human suffering with our tax dollars.

DONALD TRUMP: “I’ve been totally exonerated…”

REALITY:

• The DOJ has been shielding him.

• Multiple lawsuits, court documents, and allegations in the files name Trump.

• Not charged is not the same thing as exonerated.

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

Of course this will mostly affect women, drag queens, and MAGA women who wear heavily applied make up—looking at you Kristi Noem. The trump regime doesn’t give 2 💩 💩 about us and will remove rules that keep us safe.
The Trump administration withdrew a rule to make sure the products YOU use every day—like makeup and skincare—are tested for cancer-causing asbestos. Is this Making America Healthy Again??
