“Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, struggle for a new world,” Martin Luther King Jr. once said. “This is the calling of the sons of God, and our brothers wait eagerly for our response.” May we reply by doing the most good we can for all the people we can.

I call for social media use to be forbidden for all presidents.

SCOOP: The Trump DOJ is preparing to eliminate the ability of U.S. Attorneys to recuse themselves from cases due to conflicts of interest. A new rule expected to be filed this week will put that power in the hands of Pam Bondi.

Good morning members of the GOP in Congress. Today would be a good day for you to wake up.

Time to put grandpa in a home I’m sorry GOP

Another embarrassing appearance from the always humiliating “Pinocchiogles” Rep Andy Ogles, the biggest liar in Congress who lied and deceived to get elected, who parrots the lie that 70% have violent records — the numbers show 70% have no record at all. (From @atrupar.com )

I'm old enough to remember when something like this would be an SNL skit or in The Onion. Trump declares that because he was not given the Nobel Peace Prize, he's going to start World War 3. It's an Orwellian world we live in now.

Okay, Congress, what now?

What a fucking embarrassment. Trump says part of the reason he’s pushing for Greenland is that he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize, so now he doesn’t think “purely of peace” Looking forward to Mike Johnson not seeing this letter until 2050.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Happy birthday, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social! 🥳🥳🥳 You continue to be our true north. We couldn't be more grateful for you! #TeamPete ❤️

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

Well, he was originally foreign and not white. ICE goes on hearsay and no science intheir method. Wait, ICE operates on bigotry

Criminals arresting a elderly veteran.

We need an Abolish Ice rally that’s nationwide and attended by more millions than has ever been recorded. This is not a party line issue it’s an American issue.

ICE are the “Molon Labe”, “Don’t Step On Me” boys who now get paid to dress up and cosplay as ‘real’ soldiers. They don’t need their Meal Team 6 militia anymore… He’s got a silencer on his gun because he got it for Christmas and thinks it looks cool.

Had they spent 10 more minutes with the man to give him time to prove his identity they would not have spent thousand$ of our tax dollar for creating all the drama. What are they trying to prove?

Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles? Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

Trump doesn’t want you to see or share this: phreddi.com/2026/01/17/f...

When the trump birthday card to Epstein was revealed, Cohen was quick to say he didn’t think Trump wrote the card and Cohen even said he never saw Trump doodle. I knew as soon as I heard this that Cohen was trying to cover-up something.

I can tell I have been stressed out from the news this week. Oil painting has become my oasis and at the moment, I have way too many paintings started. In progress, waiting for final glazing, etc all over my apartment - more paintings than I have room for.

So sick of Democrats blithering about how there's nothing they can do to stop this hell. Here's an idea... Introduce legislation to REPEAL THE INSURRECTION ACT! This will make it COMPLETELY clear to the military that any order deploying them against Americans is UNLAWFUL... no excuses!
