If Dem politicians want to get anywhere, they're going to have to play the dirty games reich-wingers are: They need to start lying - but for the greater good.

"Sure I'll not vote for the release of the Epstein files. Bring us back in session & swear me in."

Once in:

Vote to release the files.

Men could destroy ICE in a matter of months by joining, pocketing the bonus & paycheck while leaking info, freeing detainees, and sabotaging it from the inside.

Wanna be a hero, fellas? Here's your chance to be an actual freedom rebel.

Flew to France just to see Igorrr in Istres (ok, and for the fish soup). When singing along to Marthe Alexandre's part in ADHD, the tipsy woman next to me turned and looked at me like:

...and I might remember the look on her face more than the concert itself. 🤣

The problem is the people who need to hear this and need to realize this just... won't. They don't have the capacity for self-reflection, irony, or meaningful critical thought.

The Haudenosaunee Great Law of Peace gave this country its model for democracy, but when they borrowed from us, they left out the most important parts: women in leadership, the duty to care for the earth, & the obligation to consider how our choices today would affect the next seven generations.

Demand your politicians vote to become part of the Rome Statute and ICC so the criminals can be tried at The Hauge.

Boy howdy I really miss when politicians used to have a sense of shame.

She calls herself Christian but hospitality was a huge part of the Bible and considered a reflection of God's love. Being unhospitable to a visitor or foreigner was an affront to God, and Jesus very explicit on that.

But then, we know reich-wingers are Christian in name only.

Tell that to the people ICE is putting in concentration camps and deporting to foreign gulags over a *civil* violation, and not a criminal one.

The gov't should remain shut down until:

- ICE is defunded
- All of our Congressionally appropriated funds are returned to the programs DOGE stole from
- All of our federal workers are reinstated
- All citizens are issued a new SSN
- The 25th Amendment is formally invoked

He has been impeached twice. And then he was reelected, maintains a Congressional majority with his own party, and basically owns the SCOTUS.

He will never be impeached by his own party
He will never be removed by his own party

The question is, what are you going to do about it?

Qortni @qortni.bsky.social · 21d

The government should NOT be funded until this is DEFUNDED.

Qortni @qortni.bsky.social · 21d

I think it's time friends and family start making safe houses. And if you don't have a passport already, get one.
