When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth & love has always won. There have been tyrants & murderers & for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall – think of it – always.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

He’s a pedophile. He should be in jail. Giving up titles just doesn’t cut it!

“Prince Andrew said on Friday he would give up using his title of Duke of York following years of criticism about his behavior and connections to the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.”

These White Nationalists are all about people speaking English in America.

But every time they say Democrat Party instead of Democratic Party they display their ignorance of the English language.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Swearing her in would take, what, less than 5 minutes.

As long as I live, I will never forgive Mitch McConnell for both causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump.

I’m watching Gaslight (for maybe the 20th time) - when even an abusive, sociopathic gaslighter was at least debonair and cultured.

Ingrid Bergman’s performance is stunning btw. And Angela Lansbury (17 years old) as the insolent housemaid….. just superb.
