One wonders - and of course it's too late - but one wonders, nonetheless, if there's a class action lawsuit to be filed against the destruction of the White House. I mean, it is the PEOPLE's house, no? So all of us would be part of the class? Futile wondering from a non-lawyer, but still.

When a semi-toothless, bearded old white dude from Missouri, driving a big-ass pickup truck, says he likes my "RESIST" and "NO KINGS" car magnets... ... there's hope.

According to the Financial Times, Trump "swore repeatedly" and threw maps during his last meeting with President Zelenskyy. Along with the vile AI video of himself in a fighter jet dropping excrement on the American people and the American flag, I'd say this is another sign of increasing dementia.

Yes! The Supreme Court gets something RIGHT! apnews.com/article/supr...

This is astounding… ❤️

“If we choose to fight one another instead of the problem of political violence itself, we will have failed. Let this be the moment when we refuse to be divided, when we prove that our disagreements will be fought with ballots and arguments, never with bullets.” open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

How do we honor our own principles without giving people who only condemn political violence when it affects their tribe a pass? I tried to explain my views here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

My Thursday post is out!

This came across my Facebook feed... in two parts because character count. **Patria** You do not love her less when her skirts are torn, Her standard bloody, dragging in the mud, Her ankles fettered, chafed, her eyes cast down, Her ghoulish captors dancing her defeat; 1/

So here's an interesting thing. My husband played golf this morning. (That's not the interesting thing.) One of the people he played with stopped as they left the course to talk with a couple who are long-time friends. Turns out, they're West Point parents of a recent graduate. 🧵1 of 2

Just learned that the SBA - Small Business Administration - is now requiring lenders to report on the citizenship status of borrowers and guarantors. I can't even.

That's my alma mater. SO proud of Bard College and its president Leon Botstein. Article from the NY Times (posted on the Bard site, so viewable even without a subscription) entitled "This Is How Universities Can Escape Trump’s Trap, If They Dare". bardian.bard.edu/www/document...

The Lithuanian people *and* their President came together to honor the four U.S. soldiers who died in a training accident in Lithuania. Their President gave a speech. But the President of the U.S. couldn't be bothered, didn't know what had happened, and went golfing. Thank you, Lithuania. 🇱🇹 ❤️

I scrolled top-to-very-bottom on the @nytimes.com's website this morning. NOT ONE - NOT **ONE** - mention of the protests. 😶

Fayetteville, AR - *dreadful* weather (rain mostly stopped, but wind, COLD). Decent turnout nonetheless, and some great signs!

When the Washington Post (!) puts out an article on how to lock down one's phone if travelling to the U.S., and said article mentions how refusing to let border patrol look at your phone - which they're not supposed to do without a warrant - could lead to confiscation and delay ... yeah.

But, you know, we're making America great again. Right? Right?! www.fastcompany.com/91299801/ame...

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Is this the perfect clap-back, or what? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
