We have a lawless president in the White House — and California refuses to back down.
Trump: "San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles...That's a war too. It's a war from within...I told Pete, we should use some of these cities as training grounds for our military — national guard, but military. We're going into Chicago very soon."

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

In the last two months, the Department of Fish and Wildlife removed 21,000 illegal cannabis plants and a number of illicit pesticides that were hidden in sensitive habitats and watersheds across our state.
We'll do everything we can to stop the contamination of the water and soil we all depend on.

Tom Homan allegedly accepted $50,000 in cash from undercover agents posing as business executives.
He indicated he’d help them win government contracts to detain immigrants if Trump won.
Blatant corruption.

Justice Sotomayer appeared on Stephen Colbert last night. I'd like to see ALL the liberal Justices make appearances on talk shows to remind us that we do have some highly intelligent & rational Justices serving on the highest Court in the land albeit not the majority.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Just cops in riot armor playing soldier. Martial law isn’t a conspiracy anymore, it’s a countdown.

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, nations are still falling short of their commitments to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change.
More than that, they haven’t shown enough follow-through on the goals they set. Instead, it’s been cities and local governments that have taken the lead.

Republicans just pigheadedly passed a bill that is wildly unpopular with the American people--and will only become more so as its many draconian features take effect.
May those who voted "yes" reap the whirlwind. And soon.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
