Tired of the bs. Feminist, still. Do not obey in advance. Joe Biden was not the President in 2020.

This past weekend, the Proud Boys held Patriot Weekend outside the Portland ICE facility. Portland protestors were peacefully protesting when they attempted to incite multiple fights during the night. Please stay safe and avoid getting drawn into the conflict.

Ask your friends & family if they still think that this is the land of the free after watching this video.
If they think everyone should be vulnerable to raging lunatics asking the Nazi question, "Show me your papers."
#ICELawlessness is tyranny. Spell it out for them if they don't get it.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.
BREAKING: Deputy White House Chief of Staff James Blair said the administration is eyeing ways to give millions of Americans $2,000 dividend checks from tariff revenue without congressional approval, per Bloomberg.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Kavanaugh stop. Blessed by the Supreme Court.
In the Oak Park neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan, on November 17, 2025, an ICE goon tased a non-resisting woman and then threw her non-responsive body into his truck like a rag doll.

Remember when the right would get pissed off over “Happy Holidays”? So nothing says Merry Christmas like terrorizing and kidnapping people while they are worshipping. Evil pricks.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

I had a horrifying realization a few years back that there are cliques in nursing homes. It never ends, and I sure as hell don’t want to end up there.
I was an awkward child. Never popular in school. As an adult I always tried to be kind to those who were excluded. Today my office had a get together and excluded me and a few others. I want to say it didn't hurt but it did. It made me sad. I don't understand or comprehend cruelty. I never will.
