Made, Day of the Dead, signs last week. Don't know how I did it with severe dyslexia and vertigo making every little damn thing I do a chore. Can't keep glass in the house, dropped/broke another monkey dish. Slowly replacing with acrylic. Starting to feel like my paintings. Discombobulated. Lol.

🔥🔥🔥 Today at immigration court 26 Federal Plaza this woman went ballistic to the masked ICE agents who detained her family member. Where are the people standing up to the Gestapo? I never saw this in 4 months I’ve been filming. 👏👏👏👏

The news is full of real (detestable) events. You do not need to use fake images.

He supported the U.S. war in Afghanistan. Now he may be deported to the Taliban.

He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S. Then ICE arrested him. If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

Once you understand how much WEALTH the GOP rakes in from for-profit prisons? Everything they do makes perfect, sinister, sense.

Restrict abortions, longer sentencing, charging children as adults, one year for flag burning, no education.

Everything. Everything. Everything, is to feed the beast.

Apparently yes. Could never imagine how Germany during WW2 managed to recruit the butchers for the filthy work, but now I see it is actually possible. Some folks do everything just because they are told. On a human basis, we are bankrupt.

I think our electoral system lost most of it's credibility when the Supreme court decided to strike down limits on campaign contributions. Doesn't seem like such a good idea when we have rich meddlers like Elon Musk donating hundreds of millions of dollars to basically buy an election.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

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.
