One thing I never hear in relation to the Epstein files is that folks who were involved may still be out there right now-actively trafficking, raping, abusing children, or know people who are. It’s not simply an historic investigation, but something that may well be ongoing.

I woke up with this image of a counter ICE brigade called the "Hush Puppies" - that wear masks and simply show up anywhere that ICE does in silent witness - OR that shows up in neighborhoods to bring support and aide to those who might be targeted. Any other ideas?

So, Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, meaning that all of his victims will no longer get repaid the money he stole from them. Can they now sue Trump for the harm he is causing them through this pardon? Serious question.

Show up. Speak up. There is definitely a March near you - find one and find a whole community of people who share your concern for our democracy. Please spread the word.

Posted this in a few places. Huge response already. Is there interest here?

Yes. Keep calling, everyone!

The disrespectful, smug, uninformed shouting match that just took place in the Oval Office makes me want to explode. I’m so sorry to President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine for this ugly display. I just hate this administration. They are awful, awful human beings.

My least favorite word of this past decade is - “concerning.” Whenever someone characterizes something as “concerning,” I know that we are WAY past the concerned phase and already deeply into freaked out.

I can be plotting the downthrow of the Broligarchy while enjoying these tiny snowmen left on the ledges overlooking the falls at Letchworth…

Just last week, I started rewatching the series. Just as good these many years later.

Tonight, I’m just feeling so sad for the people who are being fired from their jobs for no reason - losing their financial security, their social/work relationships, and the context for using their skills and knowledge in the way they had chosen. It’s awful.

I can tell I’m in an information bubble. I follow a LOT of people, and every one of them posts about the horrible thing of the day and then says - Why is no one talking about this? - when, on my feed - EVERYONE is talking about this.

Freezing cold temps - blazing hot spirits. Over 100 gathered in small town (Lima) NY today.

What are some good protest signs?

“People need to wake up and pay attention to what’s happening” - unless you’re so attentive, SO Awake, SOO aWare that you may never sleep again.

A reality that I’ve not heard anyone discuss yet is how we address a coup that is happening on a cyber level. While traditional forms of protest still have value, this is a takeover happening via hacking and coding and stealing/shuffling data. Most of us can’t even remember our passwords…

Democracy is Crumbling. Is Anybody Doing Anything? Yes. And You Can Too.

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.”

Lots of information and resources in this one.

Is there any way to lean on/pressure “mainstream” media into actually doing their job and reporting the reality of what’s happening? Or is ditching them the only option (which is what most of us here have done.)

Wouldn’t it be something to live in a country where, after a truly tragic event, our leader gathered us in with words of shared grief and healing comfort…

Can we please pass a law that disallows any government decisions being put into effect via tweet?

This is a guy who is also hanging out on the golf course already. There’s no way that all these Executive Orders are being created and understood by him. Will it make me look tough? Will it make me money? Will it make libs cry? Cool. I’ll sign it. Puppet.

Once in a while I just have to say this out loud. It’s not all the men, but it’s the men. There. I said it.

Has the drafting of articles of impeachment begun yet?

Unpopular take - I follow a lot of internet journalists and commentators, but I’m really tired of folks talking while holding a mug of coffee, putting on makeup, lying in bed, or leaning onto a counter. Just sit/stand still and tell me what’s on your mind.

I keep asking myself whether it is really possible to stuff educated, independent, deeply connected women back into some subservient breeder box just because a bunch of dudes say so? How does that happen?
