I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I don’t understand how we got here. I do intellectually, but it is just so surreal that we chose this.

Can we start calling Conservatives β€œRegressives”?
It’s the opposite of Progressive. Seems more accurate.

Just found out the WH press secretary doesn’t respond to reporter who use pronouns in their bios.
Just added pronouns to mine.

Who decided that 5 days working and 2 days off was the proper work/life balance?
I’d like a word.

For the record Jon Stewart, I am in the center of that small Venn diagram that watches your show and pro wrestling.
I was with you last night.

Send one rep as a statement that you respect the process. Everyone else should attend the Slotkin’s rebuttal where she announces a series of town halls all over the country to state your intent and listen to the people.
Then get to work organizing and fighting to preserve our democracy

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at HR@opm.gov.

Trump adviser says he expects Zelenskiy to sign minerals agreement White House national security adviser Mike Waltz said on Friday he expects Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to sign a minerals agreement with the United States as part of efforts to end the Ukraine war.

So it’s extortion.
How utterly unsurprising.

I just want to play in an 80s/90s cover band with Kelly Clarkson. Is that too much to ask?

New York Times, Washington Post et al. Stop putting articles behind paywalls. People are getting right wing nonsense for free and aren’t reading your articles due to having to pay for them.
Hey millionaires! Cover the costs of established news organizations so we can have an informed populace.

I really hoped we wouldn’t have to go back to a place where I see 1984 quotes and info on what to do if ICE shows up at your door on my timelines. But here we are.

Those who have not left Facebook yet, check who you are following. Many have discovered that they are somehow now following a new President Trump page.
Biden POTUS account has was archived. White House page is now controlled by Trump (that’s normal) and the VP page changed from Harris to Vance.
