I’m a concerned U.S. citizen who’s trying to find peace of mind through art activism, craftivism, letter writing, and more. I aim to inform and encourage others to make a difference even when anxiety and depression make me feel like I can’t do it myself.
In this article, Rob Davis details a pattern of misconduct by Faux News that paints a false picture of Portland, Oregon, and the protests at their ICE facility. I hope the city of Portland sues them for tricking Taco D into sending troops & making inflammatory statements about the city!

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

I have a lot to say about Megyn Kelly minimizing Epstein’s fetish for girls, but it involves too many cuss words for social media, so I’m going to repost this 14 yr old girl’s response instead to remind everyone just how young 14 is.
A 14 year old has responded to Megyn Kelly’s disgusting comments.

Republicans have ensured that millions will lose access to SNAP & Medicaid in the next few years and certain legal immigrants, including refugees, will rendered ineligible for ACA subsidies.

… but at least billionaires got their tax breaks, right? 🙄
Food stamps are back, but millions will soon lose benefits permanently
Even though the shutdown is over, the GOP’s signature tax and spending law is poised to kick people off the nation’s largest anti-hunger program.

We now know the identity of the person who likely violated the Hatch Act (and definitely violated govt. employees’ First Amendment rights) by changing people’s out-of-office email messages to blame Dems for the shutdown:

It was Chase Forrester, Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Dept. of Ed.

Taco D is now ordering Republicans to eliminate the filibuster to solidify one-party rule. God forbid they just do something sensible like help their own constituents by extending ACA tax credits.

Dear ICE & CBP agents,

People get scared when you box in their cars + wave pepper spray or weapons at them, and scared people make stupid mistakes like putting the car in the wrong gear + hitting the accelerator harder than intended. STOP THREATENING PEOPLE, and everyone will be safer.

The fact that Fox News pushes this kind of unapologetically racist BS is why I seriously contemplated stealthily setting up parental controls to block the station on my brother’s TV to ensure it can’t poison the minds of my niece and nephew. #BanFoxNews
WATCH: “Even if these were real people this is an absurd story to cover — you’re a news organization. You need to confirm that person exists.”

Americans can’t afford healthcare, food, & other necessities thanks to Rubber-stamp Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill and their refusal to end Taco D’s tariffs.

It’s hard to have faith in a govt. run by people whose only work right now is lying to shift the blame for their own actions onto Dems.

Shame on Mike Johnson for protecting pedophiles and lying about what she can do with no budget or oath.
