A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

The men and women in the American military will be going without pay. Argentina's won't...

Hmmm

Had the unfortunate experience seeing Mike Johnson tell Dana Bash that we should send the military into every blue city. What?

Watched the Hunting Wives: interesting portrayal of a small Texas town.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

I’m honestly shocked it’s not the lead story around the world that the American President said he wants to train the American military on American cities.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

3 ways you can make noise about the shutdown if you have a GOP Member of Congress. 1) Find where they publicly said Dems want healthcare for illegals [sic] and--in the most aggrieved voice possible--berate them for claiming their constituents who rely on ACA are not real Americans.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

Went to Lowe’s to buy a trash can ( yard waste) $83.00. No thanks. The prices are outrageous.

If you need a smile today this is it. Look at her go.

Another way of looking at it

👇. This is approved by the GOP congressmen and Senators that you elected. They represent you and this is what they have to offer. Shameful.

I never realized that the end of American democracy would feel so embarrassing.

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The video ends by calling Dems "woke pieces of shit"

With all the controversy around Bad Bunny you should watch Caught Stealing: a wild ride

This shouldn’t matter. But also - it can’t only matter when it’s not right-wing violence.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

Watching TASK on HBO. So Good.

I’ve soft boycotted them forever, it’s hard core for the last year or so….

👇. I feel sorry for the poor people of S Dakota who have to listen to their Senator say it’s OK for them to lose health care because of waste and then watch him agree to send $20 Billion to Argentina to help the people there. I think Thume doesn’t like his constituents very much. SAD. 🥲

👇. Notice New Hampshire is missing. NH Governor Kelly Ayotte is too busy posting insults about MA to worry about the health of NH children.

👇. On this Sunday Morning watching a video of ICE: The Christian GOP Police, remove Children from Foster Care, to place in detention centers, while the Christian GOP fight in court to deport them to some unknown country. Later I’ll watch some Christian GOP politician claim he goes to church. 🤷‍♀️

👇

👇. And MSM is following along. We are walking into an Authoritarian regime without much resistance. Where are our leaders?

Today at the dog park I said I was in England and its national food is Curry. Interesting. Colonized Cuisine.

I’m betting on the shift. We’ve reached the moment Trump declares war on an American city. Portland. Establishes ANTIFA as a terrorist org. Protesters will be hurt. American people have difficulty with fascism and reject it. ANTIfA. Lives will be lost-so..,resist: no Amazon: that’s doable.

👇. ENOUGH

👇. 5 Corporations control 90% of the media. Billionaires own our media. That’s why there is barely any coverage of Trump stating he will send the Department of War into Portland and authorized them to use full force. Look up Kent State. I think we’ll see our first US Citizen death by the military.

What- Trump just posted he’s sending the army to Portland and they should use full force. Not seeing this covered???

👇. I lived in rural Vermont for a time and the Army was constantly at the high school recruiting. Poverty is a good tool to create an army.

👇 WOW. Tariffs are bitterly going to kill people. A must watch. 💔

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

I’m grateful for the incompetence of Trump and his administration. It’s the only thing that gives this country a chance to retain its democracy. I truly believe Trump will not complete his 4 year term.

“….by the government “

Holy shit!

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown… Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Federal workers have already suffered more than enough… And nota bene this puts Musk at the receiving end as usual of US data which means your data.

Let’s take the bits of wisdom and humility where we find them.
