I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

I think to be truly great at something, to be truly special, yes u have to sacrifice, yes u have to work hard but the thing u have to do. The hardest thing...is not quit. You can feel like quitting, u might want to.. But u cant Not if u want to great. U can cry U can curse But Do Not Quit

They are actively trying to kill us.

It just gets scarier every day. thepalmspringspost.com/one-dead-aft...

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Ruth Buzzi, who played a purse-wielding spinster on 'Laugh-In,' dies at 88

Ten. Minutes. So unbelievably pointless and wasteful. Rich people really are something.

rfk jr wants you dead

There are some very bad stories going around about the Mahmoud Kahlil case. The hearing today was before an immigration judge — which is located within the Justice Department. They are NOT a "federal judge" in the sense that anyone reading at least one nationwide story saying so thinks of it.

Another year, another reminder that I'd rather be dipped in honey and eaten alive by ants than go to Coachella.

“The SAVE Act would cripple American elections. It would end voter registration in the United States as we know it.” — Rep. Joe Morelle

Take note law firms and universities.

I had my post-exams spa day treat today. I overdid it in the sun and now I have sunburnt shoulders. And, tbh, it is the most glorious sting. Because it's the pain of having done absolutely nothing but sit in the exact same spot for four hours.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Whew.

That was absolutely breathtaking. At last, some leadership. Thank you Cory Booker.

Amen to Delaware AG Kathy Jennings’ open letter to BigLaw 100:

The pair are pleading with immigration authorities to release Jose Gregorio González on humanitarian parole to donate the kidney. “We both cried when they arrested him because we both know he is my lifeline," said Alfredo Pacheco.

I'm so sick of my friends incessantly discussing t-rump and his misdeeds that I just interject with, "So, have you been watching White Lotus?" It's the perfect conversation deflection. Of course, it only works one time per conversation, so I definitely need to up my game. Ideas?

Asked my husband to bring me a treat home from the store. He returned with this. 😂 #TrueLove

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Roses are red Violets are blue

10,000 postal workers. The folks who worked while all of us stayed home waiting on package deliveries during COVID.

DHS said she was a terrorist sympathizer and “involved in activities supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization." Revoked visa, but offered no evidence. Social media was pro-Gaza, but she said she did not attend any protest. Offered no due process.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

250 Venezuelans have been disappeared into one of the worst prisons in Central America based on Trump’s invocation of a law only used 3 times in our history - the last time resulted in the Japanese-American internment. These men have had no due process. It’s monstrous. nypost.com/2025/03/16/u...

Parked in a handicapped spot at a gay bar. Read the room, you piece of shit.

Enjoy the football, Charlie Brown.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

These fools don't have to follow Schumer and his feckless disregard for what the majority of Americans want. 🚨🚨🚨PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS FRIDAY. If they are NO, voice your support. If they are YES, urge them to vote NO. There is still time. 🚨🚨🚨

‘Rhythm’ has two h’s and no vowels. Just remember: Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move Rhythm is also a dancer and a soul’s companion.

"The SAVE Act would be one of the worst voting laws in congressional history," @mawaldman.bsky.social on the bill before Congress that would require a birth certificate, passport, or proof of citizenship to register to vote.

So I’m assuming the name of Gavin Newsom’s podcast is “I Don’t Want To Be President”

GAVIN NEWSOM: So, again, you were talking about the importance of- EDGAR THE BUG WEARING HUMAN SKIN FROM MEN IN BLACK: SUGAR WATER GAVIN NEWSOM: Yes, sugar water. And my party hasn't acknowledged how much people love sugar and water. My son was shouting SUGAR WATER at me the other day on xbox.

I'm dying for one of those Costco chocolate chip cookies. I almost never eat sweets, but I would arm wrestle a polar bear for one right about now.

Since everything else has been going so well, I have a kidney stone.🎉

OK, a roundup response to the "they won't follow the court orders" people. First of all, you're wrong! The administration *is* following many of the court orders. What's more, they're showing their understanding of the validity of court orders by seeking stays pending appeal when they lose.

I woke up with a sore back today. I can hardly move and have been lying on the heating pad all day. This really needs to be gone tomorrow.
