I'm a swearing, increasingly cynical, polymath. I love politics, animals, history and good friends.

I am so furious right now.

AGs across the country fought to get SNAP benefits.

Federal workers suffered with weeks of no pay.

Millions of people showed up to protest Trump.

Democrats showed up in record numbers at the polls to say 'we've got your back!'

And you caved for literally nothing.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

It's actually the federal troops like ICE and Border Patrol, not the National Guard. Noem and her Commander Bovino are the ones gleefully making Stephen Miller's quota dreams come true.

Last week, the President said they aren't being aggressive enough.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleaguesโ€™ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

I was thinking about the exact same thing! Ronald Reagan stabbed PATCO members in the back. He never cared one bit about the safety of the flying public, only about breaking the union. Air traffic control has never fully recovered.

Thank you for correcting that. Facts matter especially when women have been routinely erased from history.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? ๐Ÿคจ

According to the NBC story, "In her order, Jackson said a temporary stay was required so that the appeals court can consider the government's application in full. Jackson is the justice assigned responsibility for appeals from the Boston-based appeals court."

So basically it was her job.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Shock and saddened for this hardworking woman and her poor woman. She had a 4 month old who will never know her mother.

White lambs with brown spots on their knees, feet and faces resting on a fallen mossy log. The background is a blurry green field with a grey cloudy sky.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.โ€

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Same old sad story; boost profits by slashing human beings from the payroll. Higher profits boost chances for any future mergers.

I once saw a peregrine falcon dead drop from a downtown skyscraper to snatch a pigeon out of mid air!

It was both awesome and a bit gruesome.
