Used to work, basically retired now. Used to travel a lot, now less so. Used to think politics mattered. Mostly reading, writing, cleaning the house, & doing crosswords these days. Not a fascist.
@mjmckean.bsky.social : I'm reading some of this RFK "poetry." Are there some rejected Spinal Tap lyrics out there?

I have an incandescent rage that will carry me to Tuesday when my registrar of voters office opens. I'm no longer a Democrat. My senators did not vote for this, but they caucus with cowards. I've lost relationships over MAGA. I can't be in a party with collaborationists holding sway.

@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov I'm reading that democrats are preparing to fold on the shut down. If that happens I change my registration on Tuesday. No more canvassing, phone calls, or donations ever again. I will find a political home that is unafraid of new voters. Message received.

@schumer.senate.gov if you guys cave in now, CA will have 1 fewer registered democrat. I will be completely done with you. No more canvassing, no donations, no phone work. Nothing. Do not make the hard fought votes Tuesday wasted. Do you really fear new voters more than the regime?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I'm changing my registration Tuesday if you inept hacks cave in now.

If the leader of your church is wealthy, you do not go to a Christian church. You go to a capitalist church that performs Christinan drag.

ICE is thug trash.
NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

New in PN: @gelliottmorris.com on Trump's dire polling

"Trump has the unique problem that he started off a lot lower than other presidents. So as he loses ground — and he has lost ground at about the normal clip — he just continues to be worse and worse than every other president before him."
G. Elliot Morris on Trump's dire polling

$40 billion could provide more than a year of affordable health care for millions of Americans.

Instead, Trump uses your taxpayer dollars to bail out his “favorite president” in Argentina.
U.S. support for Argentina could hit $40 billion
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said an additional $20 billion in private-sector loans for Argentina could effectively double the value of a U.S. rescue plan.

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Glad the clarinet player is out....listen to her. We should all be as committed to social justice! See you Saturday #NoKings
Oriana Korol, a clarinetist with the Unpresidented Brass Band, was arrested after a man and federal agents barreled into band members who were standing across the street from the ICE office and playing the theme from “Ghostbusters.”

Thin-skinned ICE-holes corruptly abusing whatever authority they pretend to have.
ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.
