“Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity ... and do not let the ‘tragic spirit of despair’ overcome us when our country needs us the most.”

(Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker 2/20/2025)

LA, 24 hours ago, the fire is far larger now. 0% containment. Major news networks cover the disaster with dazzling photos and interviews with people expressing their sadness. No mention of global climate change as one of the major contributing factors. Nothing to see here.

Hi Judy!

On ABC news tonight regarding Gaetz: One of Trump's senior advisers said they will end the political careers of any Republican who votes against Trump's nominees (and said Elon Musk's money will be available to do it.) We are now in blatant fascist territory. (Thanks to FB post friend.)

First post...any FB migrant friends nearby?
