MAGA’s government shutdown was totally avoidable, and I will keep fighting hard to get government back open. In the meantime, my team and I have put together a dedicated resource page to help your family navigate this rocky time.

Ted Cruz asks for bipartisan agreement on the Senate floor today.

He says they must come together to stop murders. To stop rape.

I agree. We should stop those things.

Then he says we must “stop attacking pedophiles”.

No one corrected him.

His team called it a “blunder”.

Release the files.

We are currently living under a regime that employs over 30 people who used to work for a TV station that was fined $787 million for lying to its viewers.

🍌Trump’s America is a Banana Republic:

📍Democracy is in decline

📍Our government is in disarray

📍Rampant political corruption

📍Widespread propaganda

📍Weaponized federal agencies

📍Defiance of court orders

📍The country is in constant chaos

It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.

That is not how democracy works, Jesse.

Everywhere they are there is pushback. Always.

I remember when this happened.

Amen

Louder, for the ones who still think this doesn't affect them.

This is how it's done. Decent folk who know what ICE does is wrong. It is racism; it is terrorism; it is evil.

Excellent advice.

I've taken my next step in this wild freelancing life. My website is now found at www.galwhowords.com. I'm still adding pages and redesigning, so forgive the dust. Please check it out, and perhaps point anyone who might be looking for an editor that way ;).

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that tells us we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Informing only Republicans before bombing Iran isn’t a “mistake.” It’s a federal violation. 50 U.S.C. § 3093 requires bipartisan notification, and Trump was aware of the law when he broke it.
Congress, do your god damned job.

To The People I Know Who Voted for Him, To the people I know who voted for him,

If you voted for him, I hold you responsible for Iran.
You chose this.
You chose him.
For the third time, you had a chance to reject his vitriol, to condemn his criminality, to prevent his lawlessness, to denounce his bigotry—and you flat-out refused.

I did reach my immediate goal for 6/18, and I thank everyone who helped. I slept better for the first time in weeks. I am still looking for projects and jobs. If anyone has any leads, and I'm thankful for those who could and did help and those who boosted the signal.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much further we still have to go.

It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day. (1/2)

Opal Lee is an American activist who helped make Juneteenth a federally recognized holiday.

She is often described as the "grandmother of Juneteenth.”

On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed Senate Bill S. 475, making Juneteenth the eleventh federal holiday.
