Every time America says land of the free, a woman somewhere has to Google her state’s abortion laws.

When the Supreme Court blesses the Trump administration’s disregard for the law while maintaining the appearance that the law still applies, it enables a "dual state." As @pemalevy.bsky.social writes, the "dual state" framework is how dictators exercise power while life appears mostly ordinary.

DoorDash driver came to my door and I said “Omg I love your rainbow socks” and she said “You part of the family?” And I said “I am!” And then she went AAYYYYY and did a little dance and anyway I love Memphis and I love gays

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Israel has freed Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and is expelling her from the country. She was among hundreds of activists detained by Israeli forces at sea while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. Freed activists have alleged abuse while in detention, with Thunberg singled out for humiliation.

Portland isn’t on fire but Judge Goodstein’s home is. A child rapist has the nuke codes while children are zip-tied in Chicago. The we need guns to fight tyranny guys are doing the tyranny. The freedom of speech guys are stomping on free speech. The pro-life party is only aroused by death. #GOP

If a governor wants to activate their state's national guard using their state's payroll to conduct law enforcement in their own state -- that's one thing. If those troops are however federalized, paid from US Treasury or sent to another state without that gov's permission, it violates federal law.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Mike Johnson hasn’t sworn in this new Democrat. Is it because she wants to release the Epstein files? Adelita Grijalva of Arizona came to Washington DC this week, but returned two days later, a little confused. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Halloween is going to be weird now that there are scary masked people on the streets all year long.

I keep a stash of banned books that I use to restock every Little Free Library I come across.

SAY THEIR NAMES People who have lost their lives because of hate-fueled rhetoric- Reyna Hernandez was a 54 yr old Latina transwoman who came to the US from Mexico at 19. Described as a happy, loving & kind dreamer who worked hard, she owned a hair salon. She was murdered Feb 26, 2024 in Renton, WA.

Vermont Good Morning. The fog lifts. The leaves blaze. And somewhere between the coffee steam and the cat’s chaos, a truth rises with the sun: #LGBTQ+

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

All Of This Must Stop! BREAKING: Kristi Noem posted video of the Chicago building raid – the night her henchmen ripped little Black and Brown kids out of bed, then put them into zip ties. Thank you, you sick person, for making evidence easy to find for your trial at The Hague.

Judge Goodstein issued a ruling last month temporarily blocking South Carolina from handing over millions of voters’ personal data to the current regime. Coincidence? I think not...

The Flatulent Felon wants to kill public transportation in order to further isolate us. Fortunately, a lot of transportation decisions are made on a local level, so get involved locally. www.youtube.com/shorts/IVefl...

A Chicago citizen confronts the hypocrisy of a fellow Hispanic man working for ICE, shaming him and making a powerful point by asking how his family ended up in the United States.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

This is a fierce ruling against Trump from a judge he appointed.

A Win! A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from federalizing and deploying Oregon National Guard troops to Portland. Ruling that the proposed deployment oversteps constitutional limits and threatens state sovereignty.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

And he even said as much in his book.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

37 years after its initial release & this song is still 🔥 & the lyrics are now more relevant than ever! #SoundtrackOfMyYouth www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfY7...

Medical decisions belong to individuals and their doctors, not politicians and special interest groups. This ruling is a reminder that our Constitution and the will of Michigan voters cannot be struck down because anti-abortion individuals don’t like the outcome. www.freep.com/story/news/p...
