The Border Patrol and ICE have had the power to set up checkpoints within the orange enhanced security zone on this ACLU map since 1953. Knowing our rights is now vital to the 2 of 3 Americans living there due to Trump’s mass deportation schemes. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...
My cousin was stopped near the Texas New Mexico border. He showed his “Real ID” driver’s license and when asked for a second photo ID produced his tribal (Apache) ID. They kept him standing on the roadside with his hands on the roof of an unmarked SUV for nearly an hour before letting him go.

I like my go to leftover turkey recipe much better than the traditional Thanksgiving food. Turkey Tettrazini is my favorite!

Early Thanksgiving luncheon being set up - haven’t taken a bite yet and already eyeing the desserts on the sidebar: chocolate pecan cake, homemade whipped cream, lemon chess pie and pumpkin pie.

That’s exactly what Senator Kelly and the others said. Trump’s dementia and lack of Constitutional knowledge is on full display here.
Oh, that famous 73 IQ is doing a LOT of lifting today

Imagine strutting around, thinking you just owned the libs

A cousin raises exotic deer and antelopes, including reindeer, who are often booked for photos this time of year. Most people are surprised at how small and docile they are, and they are quite curious about new sights and smells. yle.fi/a/74-20194390
Reindeer stroll through downtown Rovaniemi, delighting tourists
Reindeer don't usually venture into Rovaniemi's busiest downtown area, though they are often encountered on the other side of the river.

Saw a truly awful accident on the way home after Quaker Meeting today. Bright red Dodge Ram doolie ran a red light at about 85mph and T-boned a white F150. The Ford was crossing the intersection on a green light. I hope the drivers survived uninjured. #Texas

One of my son’s childhood friends is in prison for murder. There was unidentified DNA on the victim, no murder weapon though he was still trying CPR when the police he called arrived, and the only witness recanted. This petition is seeking a retrial. #Justice #Law #Texas c.org/k8GYkJJnN5

This friend speaks for me.
Trump must be impeached for calling for death by hanging of Democrat congressional members who simply said the military should UPHOLD THE LAW.

Trump wanting Democrats dead for not standing for perversions of the law is a violation of his oath of office.

New EP from #Aerosmith & #Yungblud is out today. Some critics have been harsh, but I like the mix of blues, old school rock, punk & metal. And Steven Tyler is the voice of my generation while Yungblud (Dominic Harrison) is the voice of my granddaughter’s. #Music youtu.be/TbYsqhPUh_0?...

I pray the same thing happens in 2026!
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Today, a Silverado 4500 blocked the handicapped ramp by my car. The driver rushed to move it for me - and backed straight into a passing cybertruck. The cybertruck driver crawled out the passenger door as his truck fell apart. Both trucks had Trump stickers. I did not laugh. Much. #Tesla #Karma

Exactly. I have known Bill Clinton & Bill Gates socially & professionally for 40+ years. I am appalled they were friends with Epstein. If they committed crimes, charge, try, and convict them. Every single person who harmed these brave survivors, regardless of who they are.
CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files?

CHRIS MURPHY: So what?
November 20, 2025 at 1:36 PM
Exactly.
And just like that, the Epstein files are now part of an ongoing investigation. Certainly can’t release them NOW. Nope, too bad.

My 5’0” daughter in law used a shovel to kill two baby copperheads that struck at Darth Vader, her Akita. Since they are babies, there is likely a nest of more nearby. Vader’s explorations will be limited to the dog park until we finally have a hard freeze. It’s 85F here today. #Texas

As predicted.
This idea now being parroted by Johnson in his panic stricken press conference came straight from Donald Trump. Trump is terrified.

9 of the last 15 new followers had no bio or posts. Two had profile photos that looked like OnlyFans ads. One claimed to “support Donald J. Trump”. Blocked that one and the ones with promo pictures, ignored the no bio, and followed the rest back.

Please people: post a simple bio!

As predicted, the bill to release the files allows the withholding of information “about ongoing criminal cases and material that could harm national security.” I expect Bondi to use that to withhold as much as Trump wants, don’t you? #Epstein #TrumpLies

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.
