So worth the follow. It's tough out there, but God's got your back.

SNAP helped us when we were out of work after I got laid off in 2019 and work was extremely difficult to find AND we had a newborn (laid off while pregnant, that was fun). We ran out of savings, had family help, but still needed SNAP. Thank you for fighting.

Be proud of who you are. 🏔️

Happy Pride, everyone!!!

Happy Pride everyone! I painted up this Trebuchet for my RotS Knights Errants this week. He's out righting wrongs and defending the rights of others. #pridemechparade #battletech #minipainting #mechwarrior @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social

Not recommended. I'm guessing this is going to be like weight loss drugs where only the super rich can afford to pay for the vaccines because insurance companies are monsters.

Simple request:

Out of respect for the true meaning of today, which is to honor the ultimate sacrifice made by our men and women in uniform, please PLEASE don't amplify the dishonorable remarks made by the POS currently occupying the White House.

TY,

🙏 🦌

If we do not advocate for Kilmar Abrego Garcia then we are collaborators. We must fight for due process of all people, respect the law & constitution.

We must fight against the lawless crime spree of the trump regime.

I am advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

You should too.

Hubs said he was scared but hopeful today. I said I was scared and cried as I said I wished I could be hopeful.

Market researcher here: on a scale of 1-5, where 1 is F-U-C-K-E-D and 5 is we're great, we're at about a 0. The congressional phones better be ringing off the hook tomorrow!

/5 An incredibly enlightening look into the work this takes that gave me hope: youtu.be/EKnoUbDIpjo?...

/4 People are protesting. 5M protested across the US on Apr 5. People are still sending emails and clogging DC's phone lines. Groups are standing their ground. Work is ongoing. Just because it isn't loud doesn't mean it isn't there.

/3 Just as removing the threat of a virus like measles requires herd immunity with enough people vaccinated against it, enough people need to be inoculated against this type of power to avoid it returning. If only there was an ideology vaccine.

/2 To remove the regime takes more than removing a few people currently in power. It takes removing what allowed them to get there so it reduces chances we go right back to fascism. It takes people waking up who don't even realize what's happening.

/1 To those saying, "Obviously, nobody in the US cares because nothing is happening against the regime, they're still in power."

It took time for them to amass their power. Pinochet ruled for 17 yrs. Milosevic, 8 yrs. Dismantling regimes for good takes dedication and time.

Milosevic was in power 8 years.
Pinochet was in power for 17 years.
5M across the US protested Apr 5. People have flooded emails and phone lines.

Folks aren't idle. This regime won't be toppled overnight. Dismantling takes time. youtu.be/EKnoUbDIpjo?...

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'” That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

Trump: “Home-growns are next—you gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough.”

If Trump and Rubio get away with ignoring the SCOTUS and allowing Bukele to kidnap Kilmar Abrego Garcia, U.S. citizens will be next.

This is a five-alarm fire for the constitutional rights of all in the U.S.

Taxes pay for nothing. The idea of paying "your fair share" is a lie, and the sooner we stop telling ourselves it, the faster we can actually get to a tax policy that makes sense for everyone.

This is a MUST read.

HARVARD FOR THE WIN!!!!!

Keeping my Harvard Business Review subscription. They are holding the line. I needed this kind of news today.

Proud of leadership at Harvard!

President Trump says CBS and '60 Minutes' should 'pay a big price' for going after him Despite the legal battle, “60 Minutes” has been unstinting in its coverage of Trump's administration since he took office for a second term, particularly correspondent Scott Pelley.

Shorter: The criminal in the Oval Office wants 60 Minutes shut down for telling the truth about him. #Resist

The Russian propaganda mill is working overtime today in churning out nonsense for western audiences, today focused on President Zelensky's "60 Minutes" interview.

So grateful your family is physically unharmed, and so sorry for the emotional trauma you are dealing with now. May your family find light and peace through this.
