autumn carries undertones

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

i opened the bathroom door after my shower and saw this

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers. n.pr/4obhR5w

You gotta give ‘em hop.

Would like to speak to the manager.

A very happy birthday to AOC ....we all appreciate you so much....

I held it too long
the shape of us
hollowed
by too much
remembering
now I carry nothing
and in this nothing
I am whole

The text states…
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors….

GOP hypocrisy: “bring down the temperature” when it comes to Dems calling out Trump.

Meanwhile, he’s cranking up the heat, falsely painting Democrats as violent radicals with zero evidence in order to justify sending troops into LA, Chicago, DC, and Portland. It’s all part of the Project 2025 plan.

On it

Not recognizing places
Freedom no longer valued
Struggling in life
Where morals are broken
Moronic thugs of greed

Dog got me up at 4:30 am to go pee but at least I got this nice shot of Orion out of it

You say love,
but in the undertone
in the unheard
is control-
you say love,
but mean possession
like I’m an antique you
must own-
you say love,
but mean manipulation
like I’m playdo in your
hands;

You say love
but you can’t love me,
not the way
I need

Happy Birthday to Christopher Judge!

Here’s 5 of the Most Underrated Roles From Christopher Judge That Makes Us Forget He’s Kratos

hours: quiet—
 time: coils around;
undertones of longing
 pulse through
murmurings of a
heart,
   drifting
like heat,
never touching skin;
imagination
ignites—

and she wanders,
  lost,
   lost
in their soul.

A president who can suspend the First Amendment rights of immigrants can just as easily suspend the Second Amendment rights of citizens.

If you cheer the loss of inalienable rights for those you dislike, you’re only laying the groundwork for your own demise.
