I am in District 7 and I voted early for Aftyn. Fingers crossed she wins! We also rewatched The Wire earlier this year so I got to feel all that pain when each person died again. A bit of redemption would be nice :)

Just thinking about that Obama phone…..

Returned home from a fun visit to N. Alabama to find beautiful blooms in my garden!

Magic hour honeysuckles were intoxicating last night!

This is how it’s done. At least someone understands the assignment.

We need this kind of help in TN (and then some). Marsha hasn’t held a town hall in 8 years so this is just her normal playbook. Why wouldn’t they all just stop holding town halls? It’s been a working strategy for them.

"The Man from Moscow": Trump on the cover of French Le Point

Liesyl Franz, a U.S. cybersecurity official, recently spoke at the UN about global cyber threats. She mentioned China and Iran but not Russia—marking a major shift from previous U.S. positions.

Russia’s cyber threat is real. Dozens of state-sponsored hacker groups target U.S. government, infrastructure, and businesses, aiming to steal data and maintain long-term access to critical systems.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Kremlin Says U.S. Foreign Policy Shift Aligns With Its Own Vision - The Moscow Times The Kremlin said in remarks aired Sunday that the United States' sudden shift in foreign policy "largely aligns" with its own position.

My new article on Trump's treasonous meeting with Zelensky: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

global newspaper headings

Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah.

“Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” "A spectacle to horrify the world"

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war!

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

Zelenskyy and two Russian traitors

This moment is going in the history books as the moment the US became irrelevant as a global power and ushered in the start of world war 3.

Zelenskyy exposed the traitors.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

Honest question: Why are our former #Presidents, Vps and their spouses, and all those #celebrities who took the stage for Harris so silent instead of heading with #courage our, the People's, #resistance and #protests? Where are they??? @hcrichardson.bsky.social @politicsgirl.bsky.social

Hell yeah!

I'm calling and leaving a message on deaf ears and acknowledging that noting will be done in the VM. every day.
