Trump said we were going to war to demand that Iran turn over all their enriched uranium to us, and we also demanded regime change where Trump would choose the new leader. Now Trump is apparently declaring victory after accomplishing none of that.
When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.
I can’t remember the last time Bernie and I walked on the #KalHavenTrail It was delightful to be back there today - although, as expected, it was *really* muddy. It was also 55°!!!!

What’s happening in Kansas is appalling. Read Erin’s thread for details.
Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.
This is pure cruelty.

They’ve done this a couple times now - all males are invited, including Primary age - they practice a few weeks, and voila!
Also, a men’s choir sang 319, Ye Elders of Israel.
A new batch? That would be exciting!
Of course Bezos and Amazon and Ring have nefarious plans to expand the “search party” function beyond missing pets. Next, missing kids and elderly adults, then whomever this regime deems a threat or “enemy”
Boycott Amazon, return your Ring cameras. Go with a locally hosted technology; own your data
We would have sung these today, but our meetings were canceled.
BREAKING: It’s -14 degrees outside and thousands of protesters are outside the Minneapolis St Paul airport protesting against ICE and Trump.
This is America!
Question. If Joe Biden called Greenland, “Iceland” four times…. What would the right be saying?
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.
Pretty well! I don’t think we’d sung it before, but it sounded pretty good
We’re at noon church now 😊
This is a great photo - terrific colors!
💔
AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.
Trump just issued threats to attack Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Iran, Venezuela (again), and Greenland (which would be an attack on all of NATO).
What is written on the papers hanging from the branches?
Systematically destroying knowledge, and with it, competitive advantage … over other nations *and* over private industry.
I didn’t know that about 172; I’ll have to look that up.
