TRUMP: "I'm going to run Venezuela." Oh, honey . . . you can't even run the Kennedy Center.

We can't give in!. We can't afford to be tired. We have to stay strong. Rise up! Speak up!

They don’t listen to what Trump says because if they ever did, they would have to admit to what they are, and always were. Better to just pretend they can’t hear, forever.

Yesterday, we focused on Miller’s wife’s post about Greenland (myself included), instead of sharing this ⬇️

If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….

Ha! 🤣🤣 I’m STILL not going to see anyone perform at the Kennedy Center as long as the asshole’s name is on the building.

A court demanded restoration of >2,000 NIH grants Bhattacharya had terminated for arbitrary, capricious & discriminatory reasons, so he said he just won't renew them this year.

No way Drumpf would EVER understand this.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.
