Perhaps it's oversimplified, but... 😉

How did we get here?

1. Racists never got over the fact that slaves were freed and the Civil Rights Act was passed.
2. Some men can't accept women have rights.
3. The rich don't wanna pay their FAIR share of taxes.

1 + 2 + 3 = Destroy 160 yrs of progress.

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

The GOP spent years screaming about a manufactured Biden bribe but says nothing about this. Tells you all you need to know.

Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo stating: “The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips. Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons. Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection. This is how bribes work.” Below is an image of Donald Trump sitting across from the Emir of Qatar in a formal meeting room. Text overlay: “Quid Pro Presidency.”

…or horrified by the blatant capitulation of mainstream media, law firms, corporations & academic institutions

…or simply fed up with the constant gaslighting, the daily assault on rule of law, the revision of our values & history

This is your fight.

Everyone, start carrying whistles. It's a fantastic way to alert your community when ICE is active in your area. Best of all it works! It brings folks out and scares ICE away!

Check out the WHISTLE PROTOCOLS 🚨 CODE 1 (ICE nearby) and 🚨CODE RED 2 (ICE detaining someone)

Stay vigilant. Not Silent.

Texas Paul is speaking the truth. There is no common ground.

Republicans are racist, xenophobic & misogynistic and have no redeeming qualities.

Trump: "Somebody said, 'would we think about taking the World Cup away from Boston if they don't straighten it out?' The answer is yes. We have the right to do that with FIFA. So if we think that LA is gonna be bad, or that applies a little bit to the Olympics too."

As SCOTUS weighs further gutting the Voting Rights Act, we filed a brief on behalf of Republican members of Congress who last voted to reauthorize it, warning the Court not to disregard decades of bipartisan congressional fact-finding and Congress' role. protectdemocracy.org/work/former-...

Former Republican members of Congress file amicus brief supporting the Voting Rights Act in the U.S. Supreme Court

The brief emphasizes that Section 2 represents a durable, bipartisan legislative achievement that reflects Congress's constitutional responsibility to protect voting rights.

We got home after playing pinball for four hours. It was fun, but I'm not really keen on cooking afterwards. I made a Bolognese type of sauce and let it simmer while I put my feet up. Pasta dishes are comfortingly delicious. I served the sauce with tagliatelle. 🍜
