Alligator Alcatraz = internment camp. This broke me… “32 individuals inside a cage. It was 81° where we were standing…inside it was probably even hotter. How do I know? Because there was individuals sweating with their shirt off, while they chanted libertad, libertad, libertad.” - State Sen Jones

I am grateful every day to be living in Scotland. For political reasons, definitely. And then there’s this. Loch Lomond is half an hour away from us, but it feels like the edge of the world. And I love a getaway that doubles as a research trip! #Scotland #adventuretravel #writingcommunity

The SAVE Act is a SHAMEFUL ATTACK ON OUR DEMOCRACY! Call your senator &demand they vote NO on this disastrous bill. #HandsOffHerVote #resist S128 would disproportionately impact: • Married women who've changed their last names, many of whom don’t have birth certificates matching their legal name

THE WIZARD OF OZ is one of the greatest film examples of: 1) The Heroine’s Journey story structure. 2) Jungian archetypes. 3: Anti-totalitarian movies from the last fascist swell of history AND - a great textbook for us writers to look at for how to fight the current one. #classicmovies #filmsky

"The apex of Republicans’ plan to turn over our government to their wealthy cronies is a giant tax cut for billionaires & corporations. And they plan to pay for it with cuts to programs that working people rely on. Popular & necessary programs like Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP - are all being targeted."

📡 On BBC Scotland discussing the shameless misinformation Vice President Vance is spreading about Safe Access Zones in Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Today and every day I will stand with the millions of people across the US who oppose the misogynistic and anti-choice agenda of Donald Trump and JD Vance. 🇺🇸

I'm in— California, Oregon, and Washington state have been invited to join Canada. In a tongue-in-cheek proclamation, Canadian Member of Parliament Elizabeth May suggested the three states could get “free healthcare” & “safe streets” by abandoning the US and joining Canada as their newest province.

Way to #resist! Get the word out on how badly this moron is failing.

This is a good photo to amplify. The felon doesn't like being upstaged. #resist #antitrump

Wow. Thank you Governor!

The people raging at Kendrick Lamar's halftime show 'cause "they didn't understand it?" They understood it.

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

Women who try to sidestep or excuse the fact that this man is a vicious sexual predator are enemies to ALL humanity. #antitrump

BRAVO, TIME magazine!!! That's the way to troll a malignant narcissist. Let's amplify until "President Musk" is as gone as "President Bannon." #antiTrump

This is what I want to see from EVERY Governor. Thanks, Go. Pritzker. ❤️

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

The U.S. govt. under the felon has just revoked the 60 yr-old executive order that protects equal opportunity in employment & called for an end to all DEI programs. The Pentagon & State Department will not be recognizing #BlackHistoryMonth. I plan to post essential US history every day.

Something to celebrate!

This is handy for reposting. Anyone with a functioning brain should be able to follow the cause and effect, right? Now if only we were dealing with people who have functioning brains.

One of America's two major political parties seems to have embraced the position that the founders of this country really secretly intended to create a monarchy just like the one they fought to overthrow and that all this democracy talk these past 250 years was just woke political propaganda.

The rapists and criminals are the Trump administration.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

Bishop Marianne Budde directly addressed the least Christian president the US has ever had in her sermon at the National Cathedral, Inaugural prayer service with this powerful plea: "In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now..."
