Fanfic writer, costumer, traveler. I love Star Wars, Star Trek, quilting, landscapes, the fabulous Red White and Royal Blue movie, and just exploring the world. I've been to a hell of a lot of it but there's always more to see.

Seljalandsfoss and other waterfalls in Iceland. I thought I was far enough away from the waterfall when I got a little closer and the wind shifted and it hit me full force. I was thoroughly soaked.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Dear media,
1/ ICE consistently lies about its violence toward people in Chicago, with its initial accounts later disproven.
2/ When protesters shout at ICE agents to get out of their neighborhood and ICE tear-gasses them and throws them to the ground, that's not a "clash" – that's ICE violence.

Watching Trump’s highly trained, fully armored and masked ICE goons being totally played by a delivery guy on a bike. They usually require an indoor hallway and an unarmed immigrant leaving a legal hearing to really show their stuff.

Within the legal community, every conceivable alarm bell is ringing.
And all of them are too late.
America has no meaningful federal law enforcement anymore. It has Trump personal lawyers and a Trump political machine that masquerades as rule of law. There *is* no DOJ or FBI now.
Please share.

Both the Lindsey Halligan Nomination and the New James Comey Indictment Confirm That the DOJ and FBI Functionally No Longer Exist As Law Enforcement Agencies
The crisis at the FBI and DOJ is over; rule of law lost. The reality now is that Trump has a domestic army for his paramilitary ops (ICE) and a domestic army for his partisan law enforcement ops.

🧵10 ways MAGA is NOT like the Nazis🧵
The right wing hates it when people compare MAGA to the Nazis, as I’ve done in the past, based on their fascist behavior. But to be fair, I’ve decided to provide the other side. So here’s a thread with my list of 10 ways the MAGA movement is NOT like the Nazis.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Time to stop tiptoeing around it. These people are fanatics pursuing a Holy War. It’s a critical piece of the threat assessment that should inform our strategies. (Psst. They’re not just going to hand back power.)

Presidents have a duty to uphold the law and serve the people and this president just doesn't get it, or more precisely, doesn't care. It was never about the country or its people for him.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
