The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

This government is OURS.

It is funded by US.

That is OUR White House.

WE pay for EVERYTHING.

ALL OF IT.

WE THE PEOPLE are the rightful owners of this nation.

Don’t EVER forget it.

FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR IT.

NEVER give up.

This seems obvious now, but I really wasn’t prepared for the mental whiplash of hearing ICE ICE ICE every other minute of the Winter Olympics

Exclusive: β€˜Pink coat lady’ who recorded fatal encounter between federal officers and Alex Pretti speaks to Anderson Cooper | CNN Anderson speaks with Stella Carlson, the witness who captured crucial video showing exactly what happened when Alex Pretti was shot and killed by DHS officers.

Speaking out is essential. Especially when so many institutional leaders are failing us. www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

β€œBorn from Pain”
Some days, there are no words, only grief, shock & a heaviness that sits in the body. Yesterday’s violence in Minneapolis has left many of us reeling. I’m holding space for that sorrow. This piece was created understanding that pain doesn’t disappear simply because we wish it away.

Last week, I visited the ICE detention center in Tacoma to ensure ICE is treating detainees humanely and honoring due process.

From my visit, it was clear ICE is trying to hide the truth about its facilities.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

You’re kidding! I didn’t know it was in peril. I live in Parkrose Heights and rely on that store. We have so few options.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joyβ€”they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

I told my bestie I felt guilty that I couldn't commit to growing vegetables in my garden because it's too hard, and instead I'm growing flowers this year. And she told me "flowers are important because we need more bees and bugs and butterflies!" πŸ₯Ή This perspective is needed rn, we all play a part 🫢🏾
