I’ve made it through customs and am back in the U.S.!! Here’s one of my favorite photos of my trip. This is above Bergen.

I will be leaving the country on vacation. I’m going to follow advice of lawyers and delete me social media apps from my phone. So going dark until Sept. 15 at least. If I’m not back by then, please start asking my husband, Sam @sam-is-me.bsky.social if I’m being detained.

Sunday Surprise date!!

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

This man is brilliant!!

Just saw a Let’s Texas ad. No, thanks. I’m good. I believe that if you pass bad policy, you should be voted out. Maybe the citizens of Texas will make me rethink that by rising up within their gerrymandered districts and still vote them out.

Democratic Governors, what more do you need to see? WAKE UP. FIGHT. www.axios.com/2025/08/20/n...

Art of the deal.

The last US Civil War was between people who believed some people were not human, and could therefore be treated inhumanely, and those that believe all are created equal. This US Cold Civil War we are in now, is the similar. It's about inhumanity vs humanity.

We live under authoritarianism now. I don’t know anymore if it’s too late to change course, but we have to keep going on toward freedom because the alternative will be even worse. Send your representatives your thoughts about it all. They are there to represent you.

I’ll be in Denmark next week, but alas, I bet this won’t be in effect by then.

Today is Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (SHAAD)! The South continues to face the highest burden of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S., disproportionately impacting Black and Hispanic communities. It’s a day to raise awareness, fight stigma, and push for equity in prevention, care, and treatment.

Black cat appreciation day!! Happy day, Zoe!!

This is absolutely ridiculous and I love it!!

Gonzalez: I don't care what your job is. I don't care what part of the state you live in. I don't care where you came from. You have more in common with an undocumented farm worker than you did with the fucking billionaires who are causing this problem in the first place

We’re at my mother-in-law’s and Remi is so tired.

Governor Newsom declares today “A SUCCESSFUL LIBERATION DAY!”

Mayor Bass reacts to Bovino's raid outside Gov Newsom's Press Conference in Little Tokyo 8/14

Truth rings true no matter the era. I’d hoped in my lifetime, we’d have evolved more and I hate that it’s our country from which fascism is rising again and making our world less safe. But it is here and we have to join the fight and be on the right side of history.

This is revolting. Among the rest of the horribleness of the regime.

I may over relate to this.

White House confirms that they are not interested in reality for everyday Americans who are suffering under their regime.

But he doesn’t know what Project 2025 is…

PORTLAND OR: Show your support for the Windmill Mushroom Farms boycott. Join farm workers from the UFW & PCUN and their supporters on Thurs Aug. 21st at 12 noon as they hold a human billboard in front of the Safeway located at 1303 NW Lovejoy St. #BoycottWindmillMushrooms

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

All of this.

Happiness being roasted.

I think ICE is at Lakeside Landing Apartments in Tacoma.

This doesn’t bode well.

This is not a coding error.

Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

No state is fully red or blue. Texas is not a red state.

Official countdown to my trip to Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland: 22 days. I’m not sure I’m ready to see how the other half lives and then come back here… But I am excited to see my family and one of the regions where that part of my family came from.

Thanks, Dr. McDonald.

Protest epiphany, high school cheerleader prepared me for protest chanting. Yay!!

He gave 3 rally speeches during the campaign talking about getting “retribution & revenge” on his enemies. But polls didn’t like that. So Hannity coached him to say, “the success of my admin will be my revenge.” That’s the line he used after that. But it was always the former.

Meanwhile people who look like me are in concentration camps in this country.

I concur.

Nightmare inducing.

How much longer and how many more people will we allow this to happen to?

Adventure.

Trump sent officials to see Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas

That any of us even feel a choice in avoiding the bad news in these moments is possible shows the subtle and insidious ways privilege works. It allows us to have urgency as an option, where for others it is a necessity. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-white-...
