Nobody on earth wants to be β€œliberated” by the US right now, especially by this administration which will happily build resorts on the graves of the liberated and mine their bones for oil and minerals.

We leave everything worse off than we found it.

So much for making Americans safer. Seems to me that all this has done is create millions more people who hate us. Especially when we drop bombs on school children.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

I’m boycotting the #SOTU.

Because I refuse to sit and listen to that man spew lies and hate while the State of our Union is traumatizing our children & families.

Instead, I’ll be joining @moveon.org for some truth telling. Tune in to their livestream starting at 8PM.

Yeah sure Storm the Capital, Change Laws of the Constitution, force Americans to get and pay for unobtainable requirements to vote..to weed out the (avg) of 4 illegal immigrant votes per Election

This is a great explanation of the numerous problems with the SAVE Act.

CBS didn't want Colbert to talk to this candidate. He did it anyway. "This is the party that ran against cancel culture," Texas State Representative James Talarico said about the Trump administration

β€œLet’s just call this what it is. Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV.”

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

This is not a real problem. β€œThe SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

It’s #Caturday, so I want to share this lovely lino print my son made of Zelda. It’s based on the accompanying photo. One of the best gifts I’ve ever received.

Joshua Tree is such a magical place. I feel so lucky to spend the next two weeks here.

How out of touch is it to believe β€œsmug white women” don’t know how to tell if a situation is escalating and may turn violent? That only guys can do this. EVERY woman in this country learned this skill at a young age. We constantly need to monitor the anger and threat levels of the men around us.

I’ve been saying this for weeks. He will block the Nov elections. My friends and family tell me I’m overreacting.

My cat does this too. And she loves to bring us socks.

With everything going on in this country, it’s easy for me to become overwhelmed. I’m so thankful for Zelda, my β€œemotional support cat.” She senses when I’m upset, jumps into my lap, and touches her nose to mine. Then she purrs and waits for pets. We don’t deserve them. #HappyCaturday
