Me, listening to #Sublime because they offer some some refuge from the current world.

I just want you all to know…

When this decade is done. After this horrible eruption of Neo-fascism is put down. When the forces of liberty and hope come to dominate our future horizons, we need to really talk about how much a banger the Tarzan soundtrack is.

Trump managed to turn Republicans against the NFL, beer, cops, and now guns.
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

I gave a copy of #Charlotte’sWeb to a seven year old and was just sent a video of her sobbing because she got to the part where the farmer plans to kill Wilbur. Apparently I’m wrecking bed time as we speak.

😩 that’s my bad. The end of the book is going to be a nuclear meltdown.

Greg #Bovino lecturing people about making choices is wild. Blaming everything on the people responding to the illegal actions of a corrupt administration is also a choice. The choice of an immoral lackey.

Execution for civil resistance. That’s what we all saw. Not another thing to fight over in the culture war. Not something political fights can explain.

Execution.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

It really cannot be overstated at this point enough that literally in some of the whitest suburbs of the city, we have armed Gestapo agents going door-to-door, asking people to turn in their neighbors.
I live in Cottage Grove and they were in my neighborhood last week. It’s ridiculous.

Tragic beyond words. I’m afraid this was always a major possibility.
An ICE agent shot and killed a person in Minneapolis on Wednesday, federal authorities said. The shooting in a residential neighborhood comes days after the Trump administration ramped up the agency’s presence in the city. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4qgGgYU

Trump’s declaration of war on Venezuela is a crisis that’s going to pull us deeper into national decay. Internally there has been no serious resistance to the Trump administration in this country. The Supreme Court has capitulated, the Gang of Eight are impotent or supportive. We’re fucked.

Congress is nonexistent.

Trump's base are nationalist idiots, and the GOP is full of power-hungry fascist psychopaths.

Schumer and the Democrats have no spine.

Welcome to 2026.

Freezing child daycare funds for millions of children across the country because of fraud in one state is absolutely ridiculous. Its is an excuse to pinch lower income people and punish those who need help. Child care is already impossible to afford for many and this just causes a ton of chaos.

On the news tonight I saw a story about a company that screens embryos for non medical traits to “have your best baby” quickly followed by a story on “prediction markets” that lets you make bets on literally everything and anything.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Democrats Call Out Trump Administration Over ‘Terrifying’ New Reports
In a letter shared with HuffPost, the Democratic Women’s Caucus urged DHS to mandate ICE agents to “visibly and clearly identify themselves" when making arrests.

I went to the #ICE facility in #Portland tonight. It was disturbing to see oppression alive and in the flesh. But it was also good to see people from all backgrounds willing to stand against it.

The war zone stuff is completely ludicrous if anyone is wondering.
