The man appears to be the same officer who was caught last month on NPR audio aggressively arresting a court observer.

Repression of free speech is no laughing matter. Comedians performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, which falls during the seventh anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s brutal murder, should use their platform to defend free speech in Saudi Arabia.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Just a reminder: democrats can’t shut down the government. Republicans hold the majority.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

OUR BATHROOM MIRRORS ARE VITAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

A political party that controls all 3 branches of government is blaming a looming federal shutdown on a party that doesn't control any branches of government.

INSURANCE ACTUALLY APPROVED MY SURGERY!!!! I’m so excited! I’ve dealt with macromastia for over 2 decades. I’m ready to finally get this taken care of 💚

In the dead of night, federal agents toppled and hauled away a 12-foot bronze statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands—a legally permitted art installation near the U.S. Capitol—igniting a storm over censorship, secrecy, and the still-buried “Epstein files.”

No more Chobani yogurt for me!!! 😡 #BoycottChobani www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Please join us tonight, rain or shine, for a mass mobilization to make clear: We want ICE out of New York City. We won’t stop showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors.

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract. This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers! NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.

My youngest made #HomemadeApplePie for dessert with the #apples brought home directly from the orchard 💚 I’m not a pie baker. It was delicious, but the filling was soupy, even after it cooled. Any #BakingAdvice?

Anyone have Sinclair or Nexstar in your area? Do contact them and let them know how offensive you find their efforts to suppress free speech.

Wanted to try something different, so I made myself a Pineapple Ginger Beer mocktail. Not too bad 💚 Recipe: mybartender.com/recipe/pinea...

Jeffries: The government is scheduled to shut down on October 1st. The House was scheduled to vote and be present in Washington, D.C. on Monday, September 29th, and Tuesday, September 30th, in advance of the possible shutdown. And Mike Johnson has said, stay at home. That’s ridiculous.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Writing postcards for an @activateamerica.bsky.social campaign today! Postcards purchased from CreateProtest.com #Resist in whatever way you are able. Every little bit helps.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I recommend watching Ways of Seeing by John Berger. It’s about viewing art, however it can be applied to the bias we experience daily in everything we view, including politics. Be aware of your own bias, it can close off large portions of the world if you’re not careful archive.org/details/Ways...

I guarantee he wants a shutdown. More chance for his propaganda and to sow chaos. Our single income family will be affected. Still I’m ok with a shutdown as long as the dems don’t back down!

Bring the ❤️‍🔥 to standing with our 🏳️‍⚧️ fam, yes?

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

If you’re not familiar with why autistic individuals may request no phone calls, text only, or stress about adulting calls, this thread will explain.

I don’t take Tylenol. Never have. It’s been Ibuprofen for me. Yet I’m autistic and so are my kids. 🤷‍♀️ It’s like, maybe autism is genetic and Tylenol doesn’t have anything to do with it. But what do I know… other than science, psychology, and how to read peer reviewed journals

Today I was feeling great! One of those rare times my mental health was in check, my allergies were in check, and my body didn’t hate me! I got a lot done… then the allergies hit me like the giant boulder in Indiana Jones. Early to bed. Even the meds didn’t help 😵‍💫

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

How ‘bout them apples! Tomato canning is complete (for now), so it’s time to start in on the apple harvest 💚

If you are also stressed out and filled with rage, please remember to eat a high protein meal to avoid stomach pains and headaches due to hunger and dehydration. And there is no shame in heating up canned soup or microwave meals when your executive function is low.

Today’s small #Resist with impact within my personal microcosm: I’ll be watching the documentary series Ways of Seeing by John Berger from the 70s as I build the art history curriculum for my oldest who wants to go to art school. #Homeschool #ArtEducation

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

Do what you can to #Resist even if it is inconvenient or uncomfortable for you. Remember there are many others in our country who can’t do those things for various reasons. We have to work together to get through this. #StrengthInCommunity

Red states always find the budget when it’s to silence voices…

If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.

Yesterday I met a fantastic person working the counter at a take out food place. While waiting for our order my oldest went to the bathroom. While gone the person asked me if “they wanted extra sauce.” I answered & immediately thanked them for using gender neutral pronouns. We talked about how easy

Back to the grind planning college visits/events for the oldest and booking hotels due to the travel. Now it’s time to start prepping everything for dinner and game night with some friends. Tomorrow begins my decisions for canning the 40# of apples bought yesterday

Spent an hour or so at the orchard today. We moved several years ago and I finally timed a visit with harvest time. Came home with 40# of apples 🍎 🍏 Took some time walking around the pollenator garden and found this beauty munching on milkweed 💚
