Unless they make driver's licenses, state id's, passports, birth certificates, *any* form of identification **FREE**, it's a poll tax & therefore immediately rendered unconstitutional.

In case anyone needed a reminder.

$2000 for a bike is actually a median bicycle. Many go for LOTS more than that. My bicycles were always worth more than my cars. (I had really old cars ๐Ÿ˜‰)

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, 
And all that beauty, all that wealth, e'er gave,
Await alike th' inevitable hour; -
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

So excited! My Valentine's Day gift from Derek arrived. One of my favorite books as a very young child. I had the 1887 version from my great grandparents. I knew it by heart and the other day this verse (below) popped into my head evoked by today's maelstrom.This edition is original, and I love it.

Lawdy! This magic loop two socks at once thing is about as wild as changing your duvet cover or folding a fitted sheet. Don't even ask about the mental contortions and affirmations i had to go thru to get this far ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜‚ geezus! and yes I watched YouTubes, my brain is backwards from ALL of theirs.

underthedesknews on Instagram: "On Presidentโ€™s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged โ€œResistDanceโ€ โ€” a tribute and act of artistic dissent โ€” at the Lincoln Memoriaโ€ฆ" On Presidentโ€™s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged โ€œResistDanceโ€ โ€” a tribute and act of artistic dissent โ€” at the Lincoln Memorial, followed by a guerrilla performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Created by the advocacy arm of hungryman Productions, led by Bryan Buckley, with Tony Award-winning choreographer Mathew Steffens, the piece honored Renรฉe Good and Alex Pretti. Twenty-two dancers performed, representing the 22 days between Good and Prettiโ€™s deaths. The Lincoln Memorial ResistDance was peaceful. The Kennedy Center performance was shut down within seconds by more officers than dancers (23 vs. 22.) The action coincided with the Federal Bureau of Investigation denying access to information in the Pretti investigation, underscoring the campaignโ€™s call for transparency.#FirstAmendmentTroop #ResistDance @firstamendmenttroop Music: We Could Fly and Following the North Star by Rhiannon Giddens.View all 6,101 comments

17/17 Well, itโ€™s not going to work. Letโ€™s make sure Colbertโ€™s interview goes mega-viral, win the Texas Senate seat, and take kick every last Trumper out of office!

17.02.2026 15:40 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

16/? This is a blatant effort by the Trump administration to censor speech, install a state-sanctioned media regime and meddle in our elections by keeping Democrats from being able to engage with mass audiences.

15/? Alarm bells should be ringing in the office of every elected Democrat, television executive, civil rights activist, and concerned citizen in America.

14/? โ€œI can't interview James Talarico. I can't show any pictures of James Talarico. I'm not even sure I can say the words James Talarico.โ€

โ€œBut what I can show you is what we always show when we have to pull material at the last minute. This tasteful nude of Brendan Carr!โ€

13/? โ€œIf Kimmel or Colbert want to continue to do their programming, & don't want to have to comply w/ this requirement, they can go to a cable channel or podcast or a streaming service and that's fine. Great idea, man whose job is to regulate broadcast TV. Suggest everyone just leave broadcast TV.โ€

12/? โ€œHe gets cranky and then drops a load in his diapers. So, it's no surprise, it's no surprise that two of the people most affected by this threat are me and my friend Jimmy Kimmel. When this letter dropped, we both talked about the letter on air, and then later, Carr defended it like this.โ€

11/? Then Colbert REALLY laid into Trump and his authoritarian efforts to police speech:

โ€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 he does is watch TV. He's like a toddler with too much screen time.โ€

17.02.2026 15:35 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

10/? In this letter, Carr said he was thinking about dropping the exception for talk shows because he said some of them were motivated by partisan purposes. Well, sir, you're chairman of the FCC, so FCC you.โ€

9/? โ€œHow else were voters supposed to know back in 92 that Bill Clinton sucked at saxophone? But, on January 21st of this year, a letter was released by FCC Chairman and smug bowling pin Brendan Carr.

8/? โ€œIt's the FCC's most time-honored rule, right after no nipples at the Super Bowl. There's long been an exception for this rule, an exception for news interviews and talk show interviews with politicians. Now, that's crucial.โ€

17.02.2026 15:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

7/? It's an old FCC rule that applies only to radio and broadcast television, not cable or streaming, that says if a show has a candidate on during an election, they have to have all that candidate's opponents on as well.โ€

5/? Then, then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on,โ€ explains Colbert.

4/? โ€œYou know, you know who is not one of my guests tonight? That's Texas State Representative James Talarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast.

3/? Hot off the heels of a viral appearance on The View where he showcased his eloquence and his leadership, Talarico was set to do The Late Show with Colbertโ€ฆbut Trumpโ€™s FCC stepped in to block it, telling the Colbert team that they could only release the interview on YouTube.

2/?
It would appear that Trump and his team are very, very, very worried about losing the critical Senate race in *Texas* of all places, and theyโ€™re trying to put the clamps on the candidate they think can win โ€” Rep. James Talarico.
