I feel like we’re at or nearing a tipping point and it’s going to get worse.

So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters.

Did I get that right?

Powell said the investigation is a result of the Federal Reserve refusing to adhere to the President’s preferences on sharply slashing interest rates.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

A person with 34 felony convictions is not allowed to own a gun 🔫 but he can control nuclear weapons. How does that work?

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

Maybe now is a good time to remind folks that Elissa Slotkin was one of the 7 Senate Democrats who voted to confirm Kristi Noem.

Once you remember that, the fact that she’s making excuses for ICE and equating them with law enforcement makes a lot more sense.

Take pictures of all ICE agents eyes. The retinal scan is just like a fingerprint, put them all in a Central database so that the general public can use it at its disposal. One day we will identify all of them.

A I could do it in a couple of seconds once a program is implemented.

Think about this not only did an ICE agent shot her in cold blood then refused to let a doctor on scene help her and then blocked an ambulance from getting to her ! She was innocent and these thugs are murderers and covering it up ! Meanwhile the shooter calmly walked to his vehicle and drove away😡
"Meanwhile, witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street."

When you care about something deeply, & you see it going horrifically wrong, exhaustion is inevitable. But I've found the best antidote to exhaustion is engagement, participation, standing up, speaking out, staying strong, rallying, marching, protesting ... engaging.

Come on friends, let's roll.

Is it ironic or just hypocritical, that people dictating how we should spend our money, educate and protect our children, demand approval of what we read, and who we love, are flying “Don’t tread on me flags” and carrying guns to make sure nobody tells them how to live?

Found this on a friend‘s Facebook wall.

"I’ve been watching an absolutely heroic amount of pearl-clutching lately from people who insist that J.D. Vance would somehow be “worse” than Trump once Trump’s inevitable political and biological expiration arrives.

Nothing 47 does is coherent, legal or constitutionally correct. He is a felon and he acts like a felon. All of his people in the administration are liars and fools. There is nothing good about what is happening in the federal government follow and begin the good fight.
