I know stuff that is beyond the pale is happening every day, but we cannot become numb to how utterly wrong this is. I was thinking yesterday, how many impeachable offenses are we up to?

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

This is incredible and on-point

Horrible, criminal treatment. I have been wondering about Abrego Garcia's treatment since he was wrongfully sent to CECOT, and the treatment of the other prisoners the U.S. sent there. This confirms that it was awful and inhumane.

This is what I have been screaming into the void for some time now

Today, I just feel a huge pit in my stomach. Nothing like having a country where the President is a dangerous madman, his circus cabinet is endangering Americans, Congress is hell-bent on this disgusting, destructive bill, and SCOTUS is a corrupt fascism-advancing machine.

The wildest part about us getting banned on instagram and threads and all meta platforms without warning or explanation is not even being able to get in touch with a human being about it. Dystopian, Orwellian shit.

I dunno about you, but I am sick of this authoritarian, anti-Constitution bullshit.

When will the officers face consequences for their criminal brutality? When will guards in these inhumane detention centers be held accountable?

Trump says "two weeks" every time he can't figure out what the hell else to say. It's complete bullshit.

Exactly. And you should yell at them, especially if their names are Cruz or Cornyn, because those corny asses don't give a damn about their constituents.

New York friends, please. Do not rank Cuomo.

Dems, you have had so many opportunities to take a stand. If you can't NOW, you need to step down. Resign. Let younger and fiercer leaders fight back. This cannot continue.

Yep.

This, absolutely. I keep bringing him up in every in-person conversation about Trump.

I approve of this message.

Yo yendo a comprar mi cafecito de la mañana

Remember that sermon by the Rt. Reverend Mariann Budde, on 1/21/25, when she spoke directly to Trump? She spoke of mercy, but we knew he wouldn't listen. Still, what a good reminder that true leaders lead w/ mercy, honor, compassion. And this, this is what the Trump administration decides to do:

This (along with so many other violations of our freedoms) is absolutely unacceptable.

This is pretty much the vibe now. So much for science, so much for the CDC, so much for knowing when natural disasters may occur, and so much for aid, after those disasters hit and devastate our communities. Shameful.

I'm calling this my one win for the week #wordle Wordle 1,438 2/6 🟨🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This is not acceptable. Let them in. Kilmar Abrego Garcia should have already been released by now. This situation has been allowed to go on way too long.

Feeling pretty bummed today, might as well post some sad original music. I wrote this organ piece thinking of the many lives lost to AIDS, but also as a memorial for anyone who gave their life as a sacrifice. Something to think about this Memorial Day weekend. colinfrey.bandcamp.com/track/song-o...

Some good, sensible ideas for the Dems:

WHIRLING SLUGGO WEDNESDAY (Also known as: when you're an elementary and MS teacher and there are three more days left in the school year. Almost there! 🙃)

Thank goodness!

Yikes. This is one to follow. Immediately means immediately -- or at least, it used to.

This is absolutely how to talk to them:

This is my mantra, from now until the end of time 🔥🔥🔥

I don't so much find it odd as I find it really evil and hypocritical 🤷

This right here. Hegseth has got to go, it is way past time. This is why the Senate's job of "advise and consent" is actually, like, necessary. What fools the GOP Senators continue to be 🙄

I absolutely stand with my trans friends and community, I see you, love you, and rulings like this (as awful as it is) cannot diminish your personhood ❤️

Please read this entire thread, not just the top skeet:

What J. Bouie said. Vance truly is a detestable liar, and nobody should be listening to what he is tweeting save to dissect the manifold lies that he presents as truths, while attempting to egregiously deny the Constitution.

Absolutely.

Yep. Even kidnapping folks off the streets and holding them in prisons HERE without due process is fascism. Claiming you can deport them because of their suspected beliefs is fascism. (1/2)

Maxwell Frost is a drummer, too!? My MAGA Rep could never.

Pink Full Moon today. . .

Prices at my local HEB are already up $1-2 from last month. And we haven't begun to feel the impact of the tariffs yet.

What

This is f'ing insanity

Please re-read That Man's words from Nov. 3, 2024:

Yes! Call your Dem Senators and say, hey, we'd love to see some of that Corey Booker energy from you!

This is madness. And cruelty. This man is a menace.

Truth

I need us all to understand this
