Appreciate Sen Chris Van Hollen for his efforts to bring back Kilmar Garcia from a torturous prison in El Salvador.

This moment requires more—Maybe I missed it? Did Minority Leader Chuck Schumer make any such statement or rally other Senators to do the same?

The Department of Justice

You know-the people whose job it is to preserve the rule of law and ensure that our Constitutional rights are protected

Is going to fire any employees who exercised their 1st Amendment rights

And replace them with Trump loyalists

Because that’s how you stage a coup

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Today we remember Alexei Navalnay, leader of the Russian opposition, who was found dead in his prison cell in Siberia one year ago today.

I stand in solidarity with his widow Yulia Navalnay, the first lady of Russian opposition.

The co-occupant of the Oval Office is a sexually abusing, business defrauding, draft dodging, convicted felon who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.
He is a predator.
Not a president.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but President Biden is NOT in the White House any more... the three-ring shit show America is witnessing now is 100 percent the result of putting a fucking convicted felon CLOWN and his cowardly cohorts in the White House.

Musk is going to do everything he can to bring Altman to his knees.

If he does, Musk would control:

Largest EV company in America

Most powerful media platform in the world

And then the top emerging AI in the US with his hands on US nuclear weapon security

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library
