I'm seeing a serious uptick in people being shamed for taking a step back from this dystopian reality for a recharge or distraction. Whether it's a film, watching sports, playing a game, or just walking the dogs, self-care is essential. Denying yourself a break is a recipe for burnout.

Somali aunties were giving out samosas to the anti ICE protesters in Minneapolis.

Oh, I definitely will remember…

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates. DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

Mark Ruffalo donned an anti-ICE pin at the #GoldenGlobes in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis. The black-and-white pin read “BE GOOD." Follow live updates from the show: apnews.com/live/golden-...

This regime is out of control.

The madness could stop tomorrow if just a handful of GOP members of Congress put their country's needs before their personal wants.

Including the 6 supreme court injustices. I’m wondering, since the Rs in Congress & senate have abdicated their duty & given their power to dump, how about their votes are null? They shouldn’t get to pick & choose when they do their job. They have, in effect, quit when they passed that bill.

Ontop of everything else, we've got this shit. We're not making it to the midterms folks. We'll be lucky to make it to February.

Trump: I could put a lot of soldiers in Greenland right now if I wanted to.

Please feel free to call them ICEholes because they are no "officers." They are armed thugs cosplaying as law enforcement. They are murderers!

ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.

If you listen to the #GOP rhetoric, the problem isn't that innocent people are getting shot in the face. The problem that we're upset over innocent people are getting shot in the face.

Alice Paul--suffragist, women’s rights activist, and author of the original Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)--was born #OTD in 1885. She devoted her entire life to advocating for women’s #suffrage and equal rights for women. alicepaul.org

PSA: Examples of a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant. ICE cannot enter your home with only an administrative warrant.

NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.” BASH: “You are the government.” NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔 The only honest thing @KristiNoem said today

Im my ALL IN THE FAMILY rewatch, and it’s nuts how much this show remains relevant. Archie Bunker operates on fear. It’s his default setting. Fear that he’s not important, that he won’t get what he wants, that other people are having a better life than him. Carroll O’Connor was a brilliant actor.

Did ICE have a bring your child to work day?

This is fucked up!

There’s a bitter irony in these headlines.

WARNING to ST. Paul: ICE is going door to door with weapons drawn.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents. @zeteo.com

JFC. ICE is now targeting Native Americans. I read earlier that some Native Leaders may have been detained, I believe that was in Minnesota. - Chairman Sitting Bear's Statement Regarding Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Public Safety:

Tomorrow! ✊️✊️✊️ Please join them if you are in the area.

Accurate.

Does anyone remember how many senate hearings actually produced anything positive? I don't.

Proof it was an execution. ==================

And they will keep shooting protesters because this is what Trump wants. He wanted to do it in his first administration and they told him you can’t do that and this time around the Supreme Court has told him he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

Older adults in the U.S. are dying of malnutrition at alarming rates. One way to help is to support local senior nutrition programs, like Meals on Wheels.

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement". They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population. There is nothing "lawful" about it.

I hate being the character in the movie who senses that a really bad thing is about to happen but who can’t convince most other people to believe her.

I will like and repost every post asking for the release of the Epstein files. Remember trending doesn't count on words within a banner.
