An interesting take on #EmptyGee 's recent actions. '...her sudden leftward tilt does suggest that at least one politician who rode the MAGA wave believes its force is not what it once was.'

And they're all lifted SUVs, so bring your battery powered sawzall.

Now that's a great statistic!

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Not attending the rally today, but I'm out wearing my "No Caesars" shirt from @bsky.app 😎 #NoKings

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.
