Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?
MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Chicago isn’t a “warzone”… but the Broadview ICE facility is. That’s why it’s time to say enough is enough.
But to do that, we need our leaders. And your help:

We are in the #MinCup25 semifinals, and now I’m going to have to choose in the #Hematite v #Kyanite and #Tugtupite v #Dioptase matches somehow? This a four-way battle among the great and the great! One good thing, no matter who I vote for from here on out, I’m going to love the eventual winner.

And the more you convince yourself that you live under fascism, the more you will imbue yourself with a learned helplessness, because fascism cannot be fought in courts or at the ballot box. They die in war or by internal overthrow from their own military or inner circle. /5

Moving, depressing words from Justice Sotomayor this morning: “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, & appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

This is where I’m trying to remember how to post here. I come around mostly for #MinCup25 and mutuals I’ve known online for years. But I am happy to see new-to-me people when recommended by Mutuals. This is a selfie of sorts, taken early morning in Phoenix. That first cup is so important to get!

Two things can be true:
1) this administration is causing & will cause incalculable damage & death to vulnerable people, and eventually to everyone except maybe the oligarchs. It is a horror show beyond many of our wildest previous imaginings
2) they are bungling fools and they have already failed

Fans of embezzlement will get quite a show with known corruption clown Dr. Oz sitting atop a trillion dollars.
The only actual experience Dr. Oz has in federal gov was being called before the Senate in 2014 and admitting he used false claims (aka lied) to personally enrich himself.
"The scientific community is almost monolithically against you in terms of the efficacy of the products you called 'miracles.’”
"The scientific community is almost monolithically against you in terms of the efficacy of the products you called 'miracles.’”
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz to serve as the administrator for the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Oz ran and lost to Sen. John Fetterman in Pennsylvania in 2022.
