Meg’s musings

Walk of Peace
Washington DC

There have been so many horrifying headlines this week that it’s hard not to feel insane.

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Grand jury declines to indict Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to disobey illegal Trump orders | CNN Politics A federal grand jury on Tuesday declined to indict Democratic lawmakers who posted a video urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey any illegal orders from the Trump administration...

DOJ policy provides that prosecutors should seek charges only when “the admissible evidence will probably be sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction.” Not even even a close call here. What an embarrassment.

Good Morning
Super Bowl Sunday

Also #BlackHistoryMonth

My wish today that this clip would be shown during the SuperBowlXL
Meet 92 year fierce Dr Jane Elliott..Teacher/Activist

Her message still true today
Now more than ever
P.S. So very true for our Latino community also

STOP THE HATE

Making the US Olympic Team does not require you to be a cheerleader for the Trump administration.

Everyone should call their local election officials and ask them what they're doing to prepare. Our governors should deploy the Guard to protect polling places from voting machine and ballot seizures.

BREAKING: on this Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein Survivors have just released this PSA:

“Stand with us.  Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH”

Please share everywhere!

It’s no longer up for debate. Trump is a stone-cold racist, and this administration is the vehicle for his policies.

The pattern isn’t subtle.

POLITICO: “As Europe’s political class moves to clean up its mess and address its shame concerning ties with Epstein , it’s inadvertently highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in 🇺🇸- No prominent politicians have taken a fall.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Can't wait until thirty seconds into the deposition when Norm asks whether Elon has taken any medications that could affect his testimony

Michelle Obama, exactly as she is.
Beautiful, graceful, intelligent, and strong woman.

Joy is resistance. Grace is power.

#SheShed

Bitcoin is crashing. Doesn’t help that Epstein was involved with financing bitcoin and laundering trafficking $$.

I am calling for Congress to haul in every person who emailed Epstein about visiting his island.

I will not rest until those who committed these crimes are held accountable.

BREAKING: France Just Raided Elon Musk’s X Offices In Paris — And It’s Not About One Office, One Country, or One Week This is about power. Influence. And what happens when one billionaire decides the rules don’t apply to him anymore.

France just raided Elon Musk’s X office in Paris. Not a drill. Regulators are coming for algorithm abuse, illegal content, and platform accountability. Musk screams “political attack.” Musk is also under criminal investigation in Europe!

Steve Bannon says ICE will ‘surround the polls’ as Trump doubles down on taking over elections Trump doubled down on his comments to nationalize voting Tuesday during an Oval Office press conference. “If you think about it, a state is an agent for the federal government in elections,” Trump sai...

🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon said Tuesday that the federal government is planning to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to patrol polling stations during this year’s midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this.

A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants.

Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are.

Tin soldiers and HOMELAND coming
We’re finally on our own

Respect. 👊

The NYT was out with new reporting today about the high tech, military-grade, wildly expensive gear ICE is using. A reminder that there IS money for healthcare, and nutritional assistance, and education, and housing assistance for Americans.

We're in a time in American history where the president of the United States is sending FBI agents out to help rig the midterms. This is not an administration, it's a mafia doing their dirty work for all to see & I am FURIOUS at everyone who helped normalize this level of crime in our government.

Here we go! I hope both families sue the shit out of Dipshit and his cronies. I hope every Nazi brown shirt is held accountable.

RFK Jr: "Mr President, we're in the process of implementing your great American healthcare bill." (There is no healthcare bill.)

To my colleagues in the Senate: Hold the line.

This isn't isolated rage. From cities to towns to rural communities—America is rising.

Not seeking conflict, but refusing lethal silence.

Not asking permission, but demanding protection. This nationwide movement says: #ICEoffOurStreets

@SenateDems HOLD THE LINE!

🚨‼️The senate FAILED to pass their ICE budget!
Hell yeah 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

THE US 🇺🇸 IS HEADING TOWARDS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN! ‼️

New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever The MEGA Act represents one of the most catastrophic proposals for democracy in the United States.

NEW: Republicans in Congress have unveiled a new bill that would impose the most extreme voting restrictions ever proposed at the federal level. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

These companies slithered out of SILENCE after being SCARED SH!TLE$$ from a ONE DAY strike by Minnesotans.
