Hater of all things Trump, MAGA, Musk, Russian and most things Republican. Hoping democracy survives this latest assault. I didn't serve in the Cold War (USAF) to see it all destroyed. Love America and all it used to be.
This speaks for me. Loudly.
Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

Ok, this is awful....
The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics

I'm old enough to remember when they said Obama's health care bill would kick grandma off her healthcare plan.
Guess what.
They were talking about Trumpcare, not Obamacare.
Under Trumpcare, 240K Coloradans are going to lose their healthcare.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents.
If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping.
Why not here?

Media is so in the bag for this. "Trump weighs" is never going to be accurate. "Trump to make a stupid knee-jerk" move is always correct.

I keep thinking someone is going to stop this awful Gestapo stuff going on.
ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.
