We love you
@libradunn1.bsky.social

You lift our spirits. We know that one day we will prevail. The deplorables continue to show themselves for who they are. And so do we. It’s on, no doubt. Chin up, lead with love, dig deep and, ultimately, we will overcome the ugly forces of hate. Rest up.

“a little busy”?

Mikey: You are not busy. You shut the government down September 30. Your pathetic MAGA House is in “recess,” cowardly running from responsibilities to negotiate a budget and oh, I don’t know, swear in Adelita Grijalva.

Do your job. And also, release the Epstein files.

The words on the plaque that Weasel Mike Johnson refuses to hang:

“On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten.”

Mike Johnson is a weasel, a liar, and a disgusting tool.

Hang the plaque. Re-open the government. Release the Epstein files.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids

The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Unconstitutional, damaging to our democracy and--last time I checked--murder is a crime. Let's not gussy it up and call it acts of war. This is murder.

This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean.

Using the military to execute alleged criminals with no due process or input from Congress is brazenly unconstitutional and damaging to our democracy.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Yes. Californian here. Have a look at our stats: we produce large percentages of US food supply -- fruits, vegetables, nuts, dairy, grains... grapes (in vino veritas!), while also exporting meaningful amounts of overall US ag exports. C'mon folks. Let's do this!

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.
