Heavy on the pro-democracy and pro-justice posts these days with so much at stake. Also post artwork (collage, assemblage, leaded glass), photos I like, nature, animals, astronomy images, and examples of kindness. No DMs or chats

"The point of fighting fascism isn’t to win every battle. It is to stand courageously against the onslaught, which will encourage others to fight, too. We cannot and will not win every time, but they ultimately cannot defeat us if we stand strong together." ~ Jay Kuo

“This document proves if the FBI had done its job in 1996, Epstein’s decades-long sex trafficking operation could have been stopped at the outset... the FBI’s negligence allowed Epstein to continue abusing hundreds of girls and young women for nearly 25 more years.”

Chief Roberts. The scummiest of scum. A traitor to the Constitution, to the American people, and to the nation.

extremely proud of this. I overcame my own inertia, publishing industry disinterest, and an alarming political climate and made this thing real. If I wait three years to do it again, the next book will be released into a very different world. Hopefully better!

MAGA doesn’t care about pedophiles. Never did. Nothing demonstrates that more clearly than how quickly they are willing to suck on the pacifier of Clinton pics while ignoring the fact that Republican pedos are being protected by Trump, Bondi, Blanche & Patel.

Good thing Kash had the guy’s father turn him in on the Kirk case, and a homeless guy solved the Brown case for him, or nobody would ever get caught anymore.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

We have the signatures needed to bring a vote to extend the ACA tax credits—but MAGA Mike is canceling votes for the rest of the week, turning his back on the American people.
Millions of Americans will soon see their health care premiums skyrocket because Republicans refuse to do their job.

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?
Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?
