A group of Indigenous women holding signs to raise awareness for MMIWG. There are large poster boards of pictures of the missing women. They are on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, the location of Canada's federal government.

Every day I am going to post this (permission from Del Schilling).

Will you join me?

Over 5700+ Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls

YouTube video by Democracy Docket Stop Ignoring These Warning Signs | Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump’s “revenge prosecutions” are threatening the rule of law — and former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance says our democracy may not survive unless Americans act now. We discuss how Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice to target his political enemies and much more.

~20% of big retailers’ sales happen between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That’s why we’re hitting pause on purchases from Home Depot, Target, and Amazon — make your dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com?utm_source=b...

#GVerse The man who shoot those two West Virginia National Guard in DC was working with the CIA. He was vetted by #Shit4Brain's administration. #Shitface is lying about everything.

Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

YIKES! So disturbing! Trump, Witkoff and Kushner tried to sell out Ukraine, Europe and the US for their own enrichment. There is no bottom. Disgusting!

happy bday writer Louisa May Alcott, b.1832, Germantown, PA.

"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship."

“I like good strong words that mean something…”

“I ask not for any crown
But that which all may win;
Nor try to conquer any world
Except the one within.”

A note on SaneWashing: I read part of this post to family (all liberal Democrats who consume a lot of news, but not social media), and it blew their mind. They all thought it was parody: if Corporate Media did not SaneWash, it would shock US, his approval would plummet from low (30s) to lower(20s).

Trump is enjoying any distractions away from Epstein. Don’t let up on it. The fact that people require the files from a deceased person to believe what happened to a thousand living women reveals everything about whose voices they value and whose they don’t. 🔄

Women power!

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

(next to a crossed out Home Depot logo) “Home Depot has allowed its parking lots to become ground zero for ICE raids on immigrant day laborers, and its billionaire co-founder Bernie Marcus has funneled millions into Trump's campaigns.” (next to a crossed out Target logo) “Target, which once branded itself as the friendly, inclusive big-box store, has now scrapped its DEl goals and scaled back LGBTQ+ offerings to avoid angering the regime.” (next to a crossed out Amazon logo) “Amazon didn't just shower Trump's inauguration with cash -- Jeff Bezos' company pitched facial-recognition tools to ICE and powers the Palantir systems ICE uses to track and deport immigrants, making Amazon a core contractor for the regime's deportation machine.”

Friends don’t let friends buy from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together. -Eugene Ionesco, playwright (26 Nov 1909-1994) from Anu Garg’s Wordsmith

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
How anyone can profess to find animal life interesting and yet take delight in reducing the wonder of any animal to a bloody mass of fur or feathers? -Joseph Wood Krutch, writer and naturalist (25 Nov 1893-1970) from Anu Garg’s Wordsmith

What, no Obama?

Chaco Canyon is sacred ground. That is why we are fighting to protect this place and ask the American people for their help!

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
To learn who rules over you, simply find out whom you are not allowed to criticize. -Voltaire, philosopher (21 Nov 1694-1778) from Anu Garg’s Wordsmith

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."
