You’d think after their cult leader tried to hang his own VP for not helping him steal an election, they’d be familiar with the notion of right on right crime.

Yet it befuddles them to this day.

It's just a sports ban.
It's just a bathroom ban.
It's just a healthcare for kids ban.
It's just a military service ban.
It's just a federal jobs ban.
It's just a university housing ban.
It's just a passport & visa ban.
It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.

Absolutely repulsive.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Photo of my kitchen windowsill. Several potted plants fill the space, included a spider plant in a bust I made from a discarded makeup doll head, and an elephant Chia Pet.

When it’s all too much
May the green growth sooth your soul

This is a woman speaking before the DISD (Dallas, TX). She is asking the school board to prohibit ICE from going on to school campuses. THIS is a perfect example of how we can be fighting back against this hate filled regime. Our neighbors are NOT our enemies.

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”

—George Orwell

Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom, decency and justice. Robert F. Kennedy

Good night my friends and fighters for freedom. Thank you.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

All roads lead back to Project 2025. All anybody had to do before the election was to read the damn thing.

Page from Lisa Aisato's phenomenal work, All the Colors of Life. Depiction of a young child sleeping in a bed of dandelions while other children explore and play in the background. Text reads, "Remember bright summer evenings and the scent of dandelions on your fingertips?

When I just can’t anymore with this stupid country, I turn to things of beauty to remind myself that there is a world worth fighting for. (Creative credit in alt)

Pause.
Reflect.
Keep going.

Thank you for including me 🧡

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

AFSCME is rallying in solidarity with our @seiu.org siblings to demand the immediate release of David Huerta, Vice President of the California Federation of Labor, and President of SEIU California and SEIU-USWW.

ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.

Any political reporters had the balls to follow up with Trump about the Epstein tapes? Are they just going to let this drift away again? I know that Biden has gotten several days older while all this has unfolded, but ... still.

Dawn of a new day
The sun rises for us all
We grow or we wilt
