Frey: I have a message for ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis

Screenshot it then share it

“I won’t forget” ?

Fuck you, Donald Trump.
Fuck you.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Let this sink in.

Don’t tell me democracy is at risk and a constitutional crisis is unfolding and the best you got is a modified ping pong paddle.

There were certainly signs

It was so good to turn off the news for a couple days and enjoy the ocean and birds that live there.

Some sound advice:

Um, not sure it was his toes Trump was sucking. 😂

We are so screwed.

Impeach!

An unelected broligarch and his merry band of unripened incels have hacked our bank accounts, Bird flu is raging, TB is is spreading, planes are falling out of the sky, Trump’s planning Gaz-a-Largo and eggs are more expensive than ever, but at least we’re getting plastic straws back.

A Wired sub is very reasonably priced if this seemingly unending scoop train is something you value* (as I do)

*revised from “enjoy” because I am not “enjoying” much of any of this

I’m sorry, but if you still drive a Tesla, I will look at you w/scorn.

If you’re not MAGA, turn it in. There are too many other options that don’t include tacitly supporting a self-purported Nazi who is involved in a coup against the US govt, including having access to your SSN. #Swasticar

If Elon can do for America what he did for Twitter, we should be an illiterate Nazi chatroom by the end of the month.

I bought a new car at the end of the year because I knew this shit was going to happen.

THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

White squirrel didn't post so here he is. They're just so damn cute.

Every day my blood pressure keeps going up. I have to find ways to keep it down. Going on bird walks with my camera helps a lot. Here's a few from today with a white squirrel thrown in just because they're so damn cute.

The surest way to protect our Constitution is to act and talk like we still have one.

The surest way to lose it is to act like we don't.

It's in the 60's here today but I much prefer the icy weather we had last week. This is Looking Glass Falls in Pisgah National Forest after a few days in the teens.

One more bird for your enjoyment. The red bellied woodpecker is a frequent visitor and he's just super cool looking. I managed to follow him to some nearby trees. His arrival daily makes me happy in these dark times.

Time for a bird photo for a break from nonstop depressing politics and destruction. Pileated woodpeckers are not uncommon in these parts but I've never seen one at a bird feeder that didn't include suet. After he showed up, I bought a suet feeder, put it up and he's not been back. 🤷

It's also may be a nod to the red pilled New Agers who used to lean left. There's a lot of them.

More like "racing to destroy America".

Hassan: "You have clearly stated in the past that bodily autonomy is one of your core values ... when was it that you decided to sell out the values you've had your whole life in order to be given power by President Trump?"

All he knows are conspiracy theories. He's highly unqualified.
