I did my best to resist 8 years ago with my book- Angry Housewife Fights Tyranny. https://a.co/d/7d6xneo

It’s time to get back to work.
Mike Johnson’s advise to Federal workers to stretch meals during his government shutdown:
1. Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil.
2. Add 2 C grass.
3. Stir in 1/2 C dirt.
4. Simmer 3 hours stirring constantly.
5. Remove from the fire grate.
6. Add 3 pine needles & a pinch of air.

Serves 8. Enjoy.

Apparently, today’s news is that trump’s regime is planning to incite war against Venezuela

Casey, co-leader of antifa along with a cat who wishes to remain anonymous, is geared up for October 18th. She knows de-escalation techniques for peaceful protest, quietly exercises her right to free speech, & will be paid a bonus commensurate with the number of people who show. 🦴🦴 #nokings

In 2016, I wondered how we could go from electing an intelligent young Black lawyer as President to getting stuck with an overtly racist misogynist with a flair for ignorance. I wondered how President Obama & his equally intelligent & caring wife would feel about trump’s effect on their legacy.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

The best thing about listening to Under The Desk News is that I’m also making a chocolate stout cake while breathing in the Guinness as it reduces on the stove and drinking what’s left over while I consider the state of the nation. I’m going to need more stout.

A person at a stoplight near our protest: Hey, it was Obama who eliminated due process.

What I said: …Uh…You have a nice day.

What I could have said: Interesting point. Why not join our protest against losing due process?

ICE are Gestapo because they:
• refuse to identify themselves
• abduct people off the streets without due process
• refuse to show warrants signed by judges
• cover their faces
• ignore ID provided to them
• dress in random intimidating clothing
• harass witnesses
• injure people unnecessarily

The passing of the gop budget bill makes me think more deeply about needing to live like a frontier family, spending money only on flour, sugar, fabric, buttons, and coffee. Makers of necessities, local artisans, and farmers markets may benefit. I wish I were a better gardener.

Is the new beef with Iran a smoke screen for the brazen billionaire budget? Call your senators and tell them to vote NO!
Why are Republicans trying to rush through their Big Beautiful Betrayal this week? Could it be they don’t want you to know what’s in it?

Takes health care from 16 million people

Raises grocery costs for millions

Increases debt by $3.4 trillion

Gives the wealthiest $400K tax break

Or we can just turn off the compromised press and listen to those who are honest and transparent.
i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

Data hounds, a question for you: What is the change in our productivity nationwide since trump took office??

• Immigrants afraid to show up to work
• Ten million+ people focused on protesting, writing Congress, & calling daily
• Businesses unable to hire or plan due to tariffs

I’m proud to stand among you in resistance. Stay safe tomorrow, and remember to tell your story.

For those of you who keep telling me, "I don't vote, they're all the same."
What if I took away the colors and party icons?
Which "same" would you prefer?

Are we doing pop-up protesting now? trump’s minions look ridiculous, all dressed up for a party that’s happening somewhere else.

I love Hakeem Jeffries. He’s one more bold leader who gives me hope that trump and his masked ice agents can be held accountable for their illegal approach to immigration.

Musk’s black eye is a metaphor. But Rachel Maddow showed us tonight on her show that the metaphor for DOGE is rats, roaches, & weed. Musk may step back, but he still carries a heavy load of responsibility for the damage he’s caused. Will we hold him accountable?

How are we going to make sure that trump doesn’t think that we’re all out there marching FOR his birthday instead of AGAINST it??
