It’s tempting to look at this and hear the David Bowie lyric “This is not America”, but it is, on a Friday morning, in a suburb of Chicago. We stood holding signs and flags, chanting and singing. ICE tear gassed us, shot us with pepper balls, physically attacked us. This is America, that is me.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

Calling all Cheeseheads and every Florida Man, Vote like our country depends on you, because it kinda does.

I have moved beyond disapproval of all things Trump and I am well into aggression. Violence is the next step, but I am not there, yet.

Chicago crowd tonight was *incredible*. Important for everyone to be spending time with each other right how. It may not feel like it right now, but we’re gonna win.

The crayfish of happiness says good morning.

If the U.S. government shut down over the budget bill, in these current conditions, many essential services would never return when a budget bill is passed. And the Republicans would strengthen their hand against our government. Not every day is a victory. Sometimes you choose the least bad thing.

A coworker was showing me pictures of when he was an Army Airborne soldier in Afghanistan. One was of about 25 soldiers holding their weapons, being goofy guys in their twenties, with steep snow capped mountains in the background. Looks like a good bunch of guys, I said.

There are now more kids with measles in Texas than there are trans athletes in America. 🇺🇸 🤷

Sometimes in the middle of posting and reposting, I ask myself “did a jogger just bounce off my windshield?”

It’s the weekend. Let’s ride!

I’m not really surprised by anything the admin has done, but I expected the vibes to be closer to “private equity stripping a company down for parts” rather than “meth head stripping the walls for scrap metal”

The Department of Defense released X-ray proof of Trump’s bone spurs.

Trump fired many people in NOAA, many from the group that tracks hurricanes. From now on, to save time and money, all hurricanes are to be called George Foreman.

When you take a job for the pay and position and your boss is a total ass.

In Chicago at the rally for Ukraine.

El Ron Musk (Mike Myers) interrupts a heated meeting with Donald F Trump (James Austin Johnson), JD "Couch Love" Vance (Bowen Yang), Marco Rubio "Voted Best in class" (Marcello Hernández) and Ukraine President Zelensky (Mikey Day). 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUpO...

it's hard to explain how detached many Canadians became from this flag after it was coopted by the far right, see trucker convoy. So for this to be waved again by ordinary Canadians speaks volumes to the unified hatred for Trump and his administration.

It’s the weekend. Let’s ride!

Maybe Ukraine was wearing revealing clothes. Maybe Ukraine smiled at Russia. Maybe Ukraine was asking for it.

I wonder if there’s a country, or a group of countries, that would sign a mineral rights agreement with Ukraine? Can you think of Union of Nations, maybe in Europe?

I’m confused—why are people acting like black history month is concluding? First black history month is ending. March first begins second black history month. April first? You guessed it—third black history month

JD Vance in the Oval Office today. If my buddy was pointing fingers at someone, telling them they need to say thank you, need to show respect. If his pupils didn’t quite aim in the same direction, if his nostrils looked red, I might ask him if he’s ok, if maybe he doesn’t drive for a bit.

Don’t let your outrage meter jump into the red zone now. Soon something even worse will happen with that guy. Then it will go even further, from bad to worse to horrible. We need your outrage, but bring it down a bit. If you go to maximum outrage now you give them a victory before it’s done.

When Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel was Attorney General, he accepted thousands of dollars to attend an anti LGBTQ conference that was hosted by a hate group. He did this because he is a bigoted, homophobic, piece of shit. Fuck him. I will be voting for Susan Crawford.

Biden and Zelensky. In a world long ago and far away.

I’m not buying a Tesla because Elon Musk is a heartless bastard intent on ruining our Government. Last year I wasn’t buying a Tesla because I couldn’t afford it.

America, we fucked up by not electing Kamala Harris. I tried, knocked on hundreds of doors, talked to friends, voted for her. As a country, we fucked up.

This is evil. Pure evil.

I dream that one day drivers will give me as much space on the road on my bicycle as they do a discarded cardboard box.🙏

This is how it’s done.

Remember when Putin, and then Trump, called Zelensky a Nazi? Zelensky is Jewish, most emphatically not a Nazi. Now Putin, and of course Trump, are calling Zelensky a dictator. Zelensky is the democratically elected president. Is was not, is not, and will not be a dictator.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

She’s tattered but still flying.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

On this day in 1976 a Liberal Woke President recognized February as Black History Month. Republican Gerald Ford.
