And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.
The January 6th case against Donald Trump is dismissed without prejudice by Judge Chutkan.

It's easy to feel desolate in aftermath of election but it truly is remarkable what we accomplished in LA Co on affordable housing & homelessness. A big shout to my friends & colleagues who put in countless hours getting these solutions in place for a better tomorrow. #OurFutureLA
With the passage of Measure A, LA now has Trump-proof funds for addressing homelessness.

LACAHSA, a new affordable housing agency tasked with ending homelessness in Los Angeles County, will receive about 36% of Measure A’s funds.

For realz...
One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.

We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

Please remember: the reason that Republicans focus on 15 weeks vs 12 weeks vs 6 weeks is because it's a lot easier than talking about raped children and cancer patients being denied care, and women going septic

I'm sure elevating their fundamentalist buffoon Mike Johnson to Speaker was a great idea to help fix this problem...
Influential Republicans are circulating polling and focus groups that show their abortion message is failing badly. And that voters now believe "pro-life" means banning all abortions without exception... which they're pleading with candidates to combat.

GOP strategists urge congressional candidates to campaign against a national abortion ban
Disturbed by tough election losses on Tuesday, Republicans say the party needs to make clear to voters, in speeches and TV ads, that they don't favor banning all abortions.

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me

My politics boil down to people should be free to live their lives without fear and pain. They should be clothed, housed, and allowed to prosper. Their bodies should be nurtured through access to food and medical care. Joy and security should not be the hoarded resources they are.
