“Be not inhospitable to strangers, lest they be angels in disguise.” George Whitman Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Have a relaxing, blessed day. No politics today. Be thankful, not resentful. Be guided by hope, not fear.

Wishing everyone someone and something to be thankful for! ❤️🙏🏻 I just learned I can buy gravy in a jar…so I did. 😱

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program. And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars. Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

A federal judge just shut down the IRS–ICE pipeline. 47,000 names were already sent. Millions were next. This wasn’t enforcement. It was a test to see how far private data could be pushed into surveillance. The appeal is coming. And systems like this never stop at one group.

Trump’s Secy of DHS, Noem, The Puppy Killer, KNOWINGLY and INTENTIONALLY VIOLATED judicial orders. She must be held accountable. Prosecute her to the fullest extent of the law!

Abortion bans KILL women. The data is clear; restrictions on reproductive health care results in INCREASED maternal AND infant morbidity and mortality. These people put women’s lives and future fertility at risk to promote their own religious ideology. These people are NOT pro-life!

Dr. Mary Edwards Walker was born 193 years ago today: Nov. 26, 1832. She was a doctor, Civil War surgeon, and women's dress reform advocate, but is best known as America's only female Medal of Honor recipient. Here's a great 2019 We're History article about her from author R.E. Fulton.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice. 📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber. Prosecute her and everyone involved.

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th. Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

It is clearly within the dictates of duty and responsibility of the Congress to BOTH protect our military from exploitation AND to hold our military accountable. I stand with the senators—and ALL Americans who have expressed concern under Trump—and I agree on this issue as expressed by Paul, below.

People may argue about whether or not Trump is suffering from dementia, and my unasked for medical opinion is that I believe he is—at least to some extent, but there’s absolutely no doubt he is depravedly delusional and/or a pathological AND a sociopathic liar… He’s clearly NOT mentally healthy.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

#GrumpyPolitics Telling troops that they must not follow unlawful orders is not sedition. It is not undermining the President. Unless the President is giving unlawful orders and knows it. In which case, he might throw a tantrum.

I stand with Mark Kelly. I called my elected representatives to tell them that. I also pointed out to my reps that Sen Kelly did NOT violate any US Laws in his statement. I then noted if my reps don’t speak out against this regime’s false & dangerous statements in re Kelly, THEY are complicit.

Donald Trump and his administration are grossly unqualified and don’t have what it takes to do the work to create a health care plan. It’s absurd.

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia. 1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine. 2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague. 3. Russia pays everyone for everything. 4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

📌They appease Vladimir Putin and come after Mark Kelly. Traitors. All of ‘em.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Art. I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make rules and regulations for the armed forces — including codes of discipline and strictures against following illegal orders. You can’t punish members of Congress for articulating those rules. Also protected by Speech and Debate Clause.

I stand with these veterans.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime 2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression 3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press 4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim. Russian policy 2025

In California, a mother of eight who has lived in the country for 40 years was deported just one day after she reported sexual harassment by an ICE contractor on her case. This action was taken despite a judge’s order prohibiting it.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said. Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

This is anti-American, it’s inhumane & it’s indefensible. We must NOT normalize this. Keep showing up & speaking out—to your representatives, your community, your family & friends, to the media. The vast majority of Americans are vehemently opposed to unlawful, unconstitutional & immoral ICE!

60 Minutes just reminded us that Putin is a war criminal and all I could think of while watching that is remembering how our president embraced him like a hero. It’s disgusting how far we have fallen.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection. But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk. They are still worth getting. Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

ICE kidnapped a 17-year-old U.S. citizen named Christian Jimenez. Jimenez, a high school senior born in Newberg, Oregon, was driving on his school’s lunch break when ICE/CBP agents stopped his car, smashed his window, and abducted him on November 21, 2025. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

By embracing & celebrating their own hysteria, hyperbole & hypocrisy—& that of others who share their “mindless” mindset—they maintain their depraved delusions & “protect” themselves from self-reflective, critical thinking; studies show they actually change their brains & make themselves stupider…🤷🏼‍♀️

The massive corruption, mindless negligence, & complete incompetence is on a level “never seen before”…

Happy Monday! Seeing lymphoma pts in clinic today,of course I'm wearing a proper mask.

Good morning, BlueSky friends.

The US ruling class works tirelessly to keep as many of us as they can as poor as possible. They see poor folks as easier to control.

So a bunch of people who want enormous financial bribes from Russia bypassed the man who REMAINS both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to capitulate to Russia. Then he got the backing of key Senators, and with it, tried, once again, to prevent the total capitulation by the US.
