Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

National Day of Solidarity with Minnesota.

Here’s your weekend weather forecast, Texas. Take action now.

There is absolutely no reason for Dems to vote for GOP nominees, to facilitate the smooth operation of Congress, nor to withhold impeachment of the President and his appointees. Do it all.

Collected some videos of the Vigil for Renee Good on the street she was murdered.

No song better than Earth To Eve's haunting lyrics.

I'm so touched & impressed with how Minnesota feels protective & connected with their community. ❤️‍🩹🙌🏻

ICE is the worst of us. MN is the best of us.

This year, my partner let me share in sacred family Christmas rituals. First, I got to help decorate the tree. Big step! But just now, I got to watch him read “The Night Before Christmas” to his two 20-something boys and it was the sweetest damn thing I’ve ever seen.

Some are mad because people are on SNAP and not working.

I’m mad because people are on SNAP even though they are working.

Yes! Thank you 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 💕

Yes! That’s a beauty!

I work in local government to help my community fight/prepare for/ adapt to climate change.

And I recently started hand building in clay again. Look, I made a turtle!

There is no place for violence in our democracy — against anyone.

If Joe Biden had written that birthday letter to Epstein, he would have been impeached and removed in 5 minutes.

Supreme Court upholds masked ‘roving patrols’ abducting people off the streets is… wow. We’re in deep trouble.

Texas AG Partizan Attack On Beto

Ken Paxton threatens to arrest Beto O'Rourke for fighting the illegal gerrymander of five congressional seats.

Speech is no longer Free in Texas!

Thank you to the Texas Dems for helping to kickstart a coordinated national movement against the unbridled Republican gerrymandering power grab! Heroes. @texasdemocrats.bsky.social

Just so we’re keeping score & everyone understands where we are now: you live in a country where there are two tiers of citizenship, the government is sending people to concentration camps, the president sets the policies of elite universities, & there are security checkpoints in the capital city.

Because the point is to terrorize black people.

Those murders rocked Austin back in the day.

Actually… akinsechs.austinschools.org/cte-programs...

Texas is a war zone. GOP’s jamming through a mid‑decade map to grab 5 more U.S. House seats. Dems fled the state, Abbott’s threatening arrests. This isn’t politics...it’s raw power. The side that blinks first loses America’s future.

This is what is happening right now.

I am a woman of mystery.

I had the same experience.

Sheriff of Nottingham steals coins from a cast, in his rounds of collecting oppressive taxes from the poor.

Hey, it's not the first time a tyrannical government has tried to steal every last penny from the sick & poor in order to let the rich hoard it.

But it may be the first time they shamelessly did it the day before we were supposed to celebrate our independence from that kind of tyranny.
