If that Arch goes up in DC, I will never visit that city. Never.

John Roberts always wanted to hand more power to the executive branch. He did it by using the emergency docket, starting in 2016. Much of Trump's impunity comes from the 20 cases pulled from this docket & decided in favor of Trump. John Roberts is a brilliant enabler of authoritarianism. He gotta go

They are Escaping! On 20 June, the foolish King finally agreed to flee with his wife. They went up to bed just before eleven. Here Antonia Fraser chooses to describe the discovery of the escape through the eyes of two minor characters, the King's valets. The King was last seen by his two valets,…

A new poll of Mississippi's U.S. Senate race from Impact Research has Democrat Scott Colom trailing incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by just 3 points. With leaners added, she's ahead 47%-44%. Trump won Mississippi by 61%-38% in 2024. www.splcactionfund.org/wp-content/u...

#marieantoinette #biography #marieantoinettethejourney #booksky #sentenceoftheday Louis XVI is finally persuaded 2 flee! But it's too late. "The King was last seen by his 2 valets, the senior Lemoine & the boy Pierre Hubert, at 20 past, when the heavy curtains of his great bed were formally drawn."

Accdg to this article, John Roberts pushed for the creation of a shadow docket in 2016. Cases pulled from shadow docket: ICE can target by race. Trump is within his rights to fire as many federal employees as he wants. messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/dynamic/rend...

Greetings from Kyiv! The night brought drones here. But a new day arrived, full of spring’s juicy colors. Those who look for beauty will find it. Have a gentle new week.

Both the Sec of Defense & the Dir. of the FBI are alcoholics.While Trump, though not an alcoholic, "has an alcoholic's personality", accdg to his chief of staff. So, if he's exhibiting an "alcoholic's personality" even though not drunk, he's no better than the other two.

Trump's foreign policy: Accept our terms or we will bomb you. Sound familiar? Here's a receipt: Putin to Ukraine: Accept our terms or we will bomb you.

The military held a press briefing today. I skipped it. Normally, I would want to follow the war's progress. But, as Trump said, this is "not a war, just a military exercise", so why should I watch? He's turned the US Army into nothing more than a jingoistic display of firepower. To what end?

Ugh, I cannot stand the fact that Marie Antoinette was told she could leave w her son, but she refused to leave her husband behind, so instead they arranged to escape. We all know how that ended. THEY SHOULD HAVE LET THE KING FEND 4 HIMSELF. #amreadingbiography #marieantoinettethejourney #booksky

#MarieAntoinettethejourney #booksky #sentenceoftheday #MarieAntoinette #amreadingbiography "The next day, Maundy Thursday, both King & Queen washed the feet of the poor in an ancient ceremony to commemmorate Easter Week." (The Bastille had already fallen and they were practically prisoners)

Trump is operating on a false premise. He thinks that if he threatens "wiping out a civilization," & they don't surrender to the threat, that he is then justified in bombing them into oblivion. The threat alone is a war crime. There is NO JUSTIFICATION for executing the threat. Boxing himself in.

I bought #delphiniums last month and they've just started blooming. #bloomingnow #springflowers #blueflowers

The Fall of the Bastille The Bastille fell on 14 July 1789. Fraser describes the event this way: "So the ancient stones of the Bastille, that symbol of oppression, were beaten down." The next day, the Queen ordered her closest friends to leave France. The Queen herself bravely insisted she would…

When you have lost the Pope, you are on extremely shaky ground, just sayin'

Sometimes I am confused about who the biggest traitors are out of the three branches of government. Today I believe it’s Congress since they are “elected” rather than appointed. I mean, of course the “president” to.. that one goes without saying.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice is demanding that Wayne County, Michigan turn over its ballots from the 2024 election to investigate voter fraud claims. Michigan’s attorney general and secretary of state have responded saying that’s not going to happen. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm going to have pancakes. With strawberries. Because no one knows anything, but at least I'll always have Krusteaz and maple syrup.

Rewatching #ThePitt S2 finale. Yes, it is THAT good. I'll give this episode to #PatrickBall. #amwatching

'European allies fear an inexperienced U.S. negotiating team is pushing for a swift, headline‑grabbing framework deal with Iran that could entrench rather than resolve deeper problems, diplomats with past experience dealing with Tehran said.' www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Trump says the deal he is offering Iran is "very fair and reasonable."

Enshrining racism as ideology? I don't think so, Palantir.

Six member of the Roberts Court, including Roberts himself, are members of the Federalist Society. Which is the reason we're here. Thanks, Mitch!

Shouldn't have dismantled the Dept. of Education. I vote for $200 billion to be allocated to teachers who teach about slavery, Jan. 6, and the oligarchy.

Tim Scott brought up Biden's name how many times? LOL

Has Jonathan Ross fled the country? Because where is he? #reneegood

"Bring back LSD!" said no one, ever.

She's neglecting the single most harmful substance flooding our country: intentionally divisive, factually inacurrate, emotionally laden right-wing propaganda and cult-level cheerleading.

And now his brother Joshua got a suspect $20B contract for the government

Bring them to account in state courts. Not sure under what grounds, but I bet grounds can be found. Also we need to do a civil class action suit--largest class suit in history. Trump can't pardon state suits or civil suits. Hit them in the wallet, which is located where the ♥️ is in normal folks.

He thinks he's smart. Kushner or Ivanka is not employed by the WH, but he goes wherever Witkoff goes. HOW DOES HE TRAVEL? Who pays? He's not employed by the WH, so why do they let him go to important meetings?

This needs more scrutiny.

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Kash Patel drinks until he can see straight.

I resisted for a long time, but I finally ended up dipping my toe into #YoungSherlock. And, wow. It is GREAT. I am completely rapt. Streamed 4 episodes so far. I love the music, also. #Greatfun #GuyRitchie #Highlyrecommend

One Word Sunday: BLACK I'm just back from Portland (son's new home). I stayed on the top floor of the Isam White House in. The house was on a lovely street, lined with historic homes. I occupied a space on the top floor, a pristine white room bathed in light. The bathroom's walls were painted…

Because patriarchal theocracy is their end game.

Woo hoo, sanctions on Russian oil lifted for a second month because, according to the Trump administration, "it is necessary to ease the global demand."

#sentenceoftheday #marieantoinettethejourney #amreadingbiography #booksky #marieantoinette #beforetherevolution "When the guest of honour arrived, he discovered the whole party singing Gluck."

Remember when this happened, and afterwards the right only increased their grip? Feels like a different America.

We are way beyond subtlety, at this point. You know it, I know it, even the Pope knows it.

Pope Leo is the Pope the world needs THIS moment. The College of Cardinals has more empathy for the world and world problems than the US Congress.

The only way the current regime can survive is if it remains a monolith. I can see the cracks appearing here. If anyone is paying attention, this is how you do Russia.

Listen, did you really think CONFIRMING an FBI Director with eyes like THAT would be a good idea, huh, GOP? Come on, let's hear it. Let's see what kind of LAUGH-OUT-LOUD excuses you can come up with. Meanwhile, I'm avidly letting my fingers do the walking to whoever voted to confirm Dear Kash.

This guy cannot commit the crimes neessary to cover up the crimes fast enough.
