Well, I am an artist, dog-lover, and avid reader. I also adore cats. I am a feminist. I'm a wee bit cranky as befits my time in life. Definitely not into living under a dictatorship. Pronouns: she/her.

They had to buy the Post, gut the newsroom, and restaff with reactionary grifters that don't deserve to carry their predecessors' dirty socks; that was the only way to remake the paper, because they were never gonna get through the front door on merit.

Worth noting the video of Rev. Black getting attacked was from mid September. ICE and DHS have only escalated since.

Oregon’s governor says she told Kristi Noem β€˜there is no insurrection in Oregon’ – as it happened Tina Kotek, Oregon’s governor, says in statement she asked to meet homeland security secretary before she visited Ice field office in Portland

Gov. Tina Kotek met DHS Sec. Noem at PDX, saying:
there’s no insurrection in Oregon.
She urged DHS/ICE to follow state law,
vowed to block military policing, and warned federal officers are violating Oregon’s crowd-control rules
β€”e.g., improper tear gas use.

Chicago is watching
the Federal government perpetrate
violence on its people.

The country is watching.
The world is watching.

Stay strong. Stick to your non-violent discipline.
Resist. Ridicule. Refuse.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit buildingβ€”including children and babiesβ€”placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Drumbeats on bridges, the crowd sounds alarms,
Neighbors and veterans linking their arms,
Mutual-aid tables, and chants that we singβ€”
These are a few of our No Kings march things.

Raindrops on banners and whistles on ribbons,
Bright union buttons and warm woolen mittens,
Fun protest puppets tied up with stringsβ€”
These are a few of our No Kings march things.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois is a loyalty test.

They went.
They passed.

Legality doesn't matter.
Need doesn't matter.
Crime doesn't matter.
Humanity doesn't matter.
Logic doesn't matter.

Loyalty to DJT matters.
That is all.

Republicans ARE in disarray.

It's because Americans are realizing Republicans chose to shut down the government rather than work with Democrats to stop your health care premiums from doubling.

Chaos, higher prices, and shutdownsβ€”that's the Republican agenda.

mRNA COVID-19 vaccines don’t cause cancer.

Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t understand immunology, vaccinology, or how to interpret studies.

Hope this helps!

This is ground zero for ICE. Nothing burned. No broken windows. No damaged cars. A few dozen protestors hanging out. This is war ravaged? This is terrorists in control?
