The amazing thing about the SNL sketch last night was not that Ashley Padilla wore a scarf nearly identical to mine. It’s that I trust Amy Poehler as AG more than Pam Bondi.

Green Frogs & Other Inflatables UNITE

A quote from John Lennon that says “ when it gets down to having to use then you are playing the system’s game The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you the only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.

Trump is having Barron Trump appointed to TikTok's board after a US purchase of TikToks American branch.
Brazenly, openly without fear of any opposition to this blatant corruption.

It's racism. It's fascism. Senator, fight with all you have!

Senator Dick Durbin @durbin.senate.gov · 2d

We just heard from a Chicagoan who called it like it is.

ICE is profiling and arresting Americans, just because of how they look and the language they speak.

It’s totally inappropriate.
