In a way he made you see who people really are. It was enlightening for a huge lot of people. … some are just about to figure it out in worse ways.

Trusting everyone is dangerous.

Only trust people on actions.
Not words.

Human nature sucks.

Don’t swim with hungry sharks.

Senator Grafstein, motioning for Garrett’s speech on gerrymandering to be entered into the senate journal.

The Republican vote, to strike the speech from the record.

This is how fascism works, in the shadows.

Another case bites the dust!

Prosecutors found that James allowed a niece to live in the house rent-free in 2020. She only reported collecting $1,350 in rent money to cover utilities on her tax return.

The small sum undercuts the DOJ theory that she was using it as an investment property.

Prosecutors who investigated the New York attorney general for months warned that the actual evidence undermined the allegations in the indictment.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

🚨 AOC just confirmed what’s been obvious for weeks:

House Republicans are refusing to reconvene because the vote to release the Epstein Files is ready and they’re stalling to stop it.

They won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva.
They shut down the government.
All to keep the truth buried six feet deeper.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

"One detained woman, identified as Marie, said officials did not believe her when she informed them of her pregnancy, and held her in solitary confinement for at least three days."

No one should be treated like this. ICE must release all pregnant people in their custody, immediately.
Pregnant women report medical neglect in ICE detention, rights groups say
Women report miscarriages, delayed care, being shackled and being held in solitary confinement, letter says

And I say « Ladies » because I think we are the ones that have what it takes in strides, i.e. EMPATHY and emotional intelligence, to succeed
