I love all of these illustrations so much. One is from a wordless dummy that was only eligible to judge on illustrations, but I found the story a quirky joy, and my son adored it. ❤️ The range of vibrant colors in the entries was so great this year. #pbparty mindyalyseweiss.com/pbparty-illu...

The orange felon says he doesn’t know why Tulsi Moscow Gabbard was at the raid on a Georgia election office and Tulsi says she was ordered by him to be there. This treasonous diabolical scandal is growing bigger by the day and the American state media have no interest in it.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

We see you Minnesota 👏🏽

Over 50 Dems have signed on to co-sponsor articles of impeachment against Noem. Use the link below to demand your members of Congress to get behind this!

I swear DHS recruited a bunch of frustrated former high school bullies as ICE agents. And they really had to explain to them that hurt feelings don’t justify brute force. LEAKED: After the ICE shooting of Renee Good, agents received a mandatory “legal refresher” on civil rights and use of force.

NEW: Mass resignations at the DoJ Civil Rights Division - including the Chief of the Criminal Section - over the administration’s refusal to investigate the murder of Renee Good. www.cbsnews.com/news/minneap...

There’s a lot of batshit Trump reporting in this New York Times piece. This is just one of them, and it’s real. He promised $2000 on Truth Social. Now he “can’t remember.” Is that convenient amnesia, or dementia? If you’re shocked, you haven’t been paying attention.

“Emerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday.”
