I admit I put my head in the sand for the last 48 helpless hours. (I caught up with needed yard work to soothe my worried soul.)
But now, mid-Tuesday, I’m coming out of my bomb shelter and am in shock over what is transpiring. I’m in an active disaster zone like a guy from Palisades or Ukraine: HELP

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

If you want to see the opposite of “obeying in advance,” here it is. Remarkable bravery by Reverend Budde.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

With Trump signing executive orders that violate the Constitution and violate the law, and with him pardoning the January 6 defendants who attacked and injured police officers & committed countless other crimes at the U.S. Capitol, welcome to the age of governmental lawlessness in America.

She is braver than seemingly anyone left in MSM. Now watch him have her audited now. He’s vindictive like that
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Hi, I’m God.

45% of Latino voters voted for the felon. John Leguizamo interviewed some Latino voters on The Daily Show b4 the election who didn’t like the felon’s rhetoric but thought he’d be better for the economy.

This is now the White House’s Spanish language page. Did they not see this coming? #ProudBlue

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.
His Day One crap will raise my blood pressure dangerously high, so I will wait until it’s done and I can see the countermeasures and assess from there. This is like the opposite of the lottery. Like waiting to be guillotined…
