Roberts’ 2024 opinion without textual or historical legitimacy, granted Trump immunity for virtually all crimes ushered in reign of domestic terror, and now an unconstitutional and shameful war for oil. No one has done more to destroy the “rule of law” than Roberts. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Anyone else exhausted? I started the day with sunrise photos. Biking down to the National Mall at dawn usually fills me with hope and optimism. Seems days ago now...

Cycled over to the Tidal Basin for a different view, but it was too windy for a reflection, so returned to the Reflecting Pool! Good decision. (See prior post.) 12/26/25

The orange felon and his MAGA regime infiltrated the White House to obtain the power the engage in the biggest money laundering operation and cover-up in history.
This is what happens when a dangerous criminal is gifted power instead of sent to prison where he belongs.

Reporter: When I opened it, I gasped because I thought we were going to see something. What I saw instead was a 100 page document that says 'Grand Jury of New York' at the top of it, and that's the only text that you can see. It goes on for 119 pages where every single page of it is 100% blacked out

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
