“There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”

Bowie & Ziggy, bffs

A gray blue Russian cat perches on the back of a gray & white cat. Both are curled up on a white, pink, and blue blanket on a couch.

Didn’t see this coming, tbh. I guess they decided one of the best law schools in the country no longer needs to uphold the constitution.

Just. Ask. Them. The. Damn. Question. Again. And. Again.

"You swore an oath to the country & Constitution. The president is breaking the law & violating the Constitution & appears mentally unfit. Why haven't you fulfilled your oath yet by voting for impeachment (implementing the 25th amendment)?"

people seriously underplay the strength of elected leaders, influential people and the like just saying a thing.

just... like... say a thing and repeat it. its the core of politics and communications. you say a thing and say it over and over and it becomes the story. it works.

I will not be surprised if he wants to construct an underground tunnel to the treasury, just for more theft.

I was chatting with a friend for a couple hours in the bedroom and my husband slid a Reese’s Big Cup under the doorway. Excellent husband!

Truth. My kids were 6 and 4 when the pandemic started. Now 11 and 9. Keeping their hope and belief in humanity alive has been the hardest thing.

Man, keep an eye on the middle-aged working parents in your lives. The early 40-somethings who dragged their lives, families, and careers from Trump 1.0 to the other side of the pandemic only to arrive in this chaos. I don’t know a lot of ppl in that cohort keeping it particularly together.

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
