Yes, #StandWithUkraine and their lovely animals. We cannot forget them, even as our democracy crumbles in the USA whose president lies and defines opposition as "the enemy within". This is bad. But we are not surrendering in advance. ❤ Stay woke!
Ukraine—look into that cat’s eyes and try to tell me that animals don’t have souls. Just try.

Shorter JD Vance: You are not allowed to criticize ICE.
Goes along with shorter Pete Hegseth: You are not allowed to criticize the military's action at Wounded Knee.
And shorter Donald Trump: You are not allowed to criticize me.
It's full-on authoritarianism, all the way down.

JD Vance is now using the term "blood libel" to describe criticism of ICE, saying, "The Democrats and the media — because they so hate the idea of a real border — are engaging in a kind of blood libel against ICE agents."

He didn't criticize Kirk. He criticized Vance, maga and Trump. That's the real offense.
This is all he said?! This is why ABC (in response to threats from Trump's FCC) is taking Kimmel off the air?!

Does it matter to anyone that this guy has completely lost it and is living in a world of delusions and lies?
REPORTER: Have you spoke to Vladimir Putin about the fact that a big US factory was hit in an airstrike in Ukraine?
TRUMP: I'm not happy about anything having to do with that war. I settled 7 wars, and actually if you think about pre-wars, add 3 more so it would be 10.

Sadly, once again @djrothkopf.bsky.social says it all, true. See his threads. And meanwhile, #Trump is now suggesting he can and will eliminate vote by mail. So, how do the housebound or disabled vote? It is happening. #StaySturdy and woke!
Trump Ukraine strategy: Do what Putin wants, amplify Russian talking points, defend Russian crimes and demand concessions of Ukraine. And only Ukraine.

Opera was dying. This could kill it. (Stand by for the Jeffrey Epstein Children's Theater.)
The Kennedy Center’s Opera House could soon be called the “First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.”
A Republican proposal would rename the second-largest theater in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after first lady Melania Trump.

See @mjsdc.bsky.social. Bloody end to a dark #SCOTUS session. It just keeps getting worse. Citizenship varies depending upon the state we are in. And executive power is unrestrained.
Today's Supreme Court decision does not opine on the constitutionality of Trump's assault on birthright citizenship. It is limited to the question of universal injunctions. But its ruling on that front is MASSIVE—a huge blow to plaintiffs and judges trying to block Trump's most lawless policies.

He Was Born in Philly and They Tried to Deport Him to Jamaica
A Florida sheriff ignored proof of Peter Sean Brown’s U.S. citizenship and held him for ICE anyway. A federal court just ruled it was a blatant violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.
