One husband, 2 cats, 3 kids, not necessarily in order of importance. Always "busy" with something I can't explain. I paint. I sarcasm. Married because even cynics need a partner in crime.

I just tried to post the substack article at this link twice on FB. Both times it was removed, so I am posting it here & on every other social platform I am on. Please share to show Zuck and his ilk that censorship and fascism is not yet the law of the land. vajenda.substack.com/p/oz-the-cru...

You will rot in hell for what you are doing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If you wanted to get him back, with the power of the United States, you could. You accidentally sent him there. Accidentally get him back! You reap what you sow. @agpambondi.govpeeps.com #trump #elsalvador #potus

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.

I see multiple protests against Rep Gave Evans, but nothing against Colorado Springs Rep Jeff Crank - a by-the-book Maga supporter.

Support for Trump among Colorado Republicans remains overwhelming, even if they’re uneasy about economy A recent poll revealed that 87% of registered GOP voters in Colorado had a favorable opinion of Trump at the end of March, though 61% felt the current state of the economy was fair or poor

Who ARE these people! Or perhaps more to the point, what is wrong with them? I will never ever understand how anyone can support this mentally unhinged unintelligible conveyor of destruction. coloradosun.com/2025/04/10/c...

DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS.

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.

We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Time to start posting pictures like this over and over. Everyone. Every day On all social media including Twitter. Especially Twitter where Magaotts are rampant. We need to flood twitter as much as calls to Congress as Congress is all over Twitter. Use an alias if you need to #twitter #protest.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

White House takes control of press pool that covers Trump - BBC News It will determine which outlets participate in the rotating pool that reports from the Oval Office and Air Force One.

Trump and trolls kick AP out of the White House press pool and decides who has access? Lets see who else controls what the press says? China. Russia. Middle eastern countries run by terrorisrs. Welcome to the new America. Democracy is over. www.bbc.com/news/article...
