I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.
When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.
And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

Trump may chicken out from following through on his most extreme threats, but his insistence on pushing self-imposed crises to the brink not only makes us less safe, but alienates us from the world. And thanks to Trump, we're probably past the point of no return.
Trump Chickened Out On Greenland, But The Threat He Poses Keeps Rising
The costs this time may prove far greater than a volatile stock market and higher consumer prices

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

When republican legislators in Utah ordered a comprehensive review of gender-affirming care for trans kids, they got back a 1000-word tome that concluded: yes, gender-affirming care is good and safe. Then? They banned care anyway.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

I first saw the Cure live on July 4th, 1992, during the Wish tour. I distinctly remember watching Perry playing with feedback during Open—being in awe of a new (to me) kind of musical noise. It was beautiful!

The CR to open the government included no guarantees around extending ACA subsidies.
Will a vote on extending them actually happen? Who knows!
In any case, Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.
Capitulation is not a strategy.
