The Pentagon is reportedly planning to mobilize thousands of National Guard forces and deploy them in Chicago for the purpose of crime control. Trump is on even thinner legal ice with this plan than he is in Los Angeles and D.C. 1/12 www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Pity that I can't post my thoughts as I did on my FB timeline. I could hug her for this one.

If you didn't read her column from yesterday yet, please do. It's a #must! (My own thoughts? 'King'? #inhisdreams! And #musk? #Deport #him!)

As I said to a few people over the past week, this is an #attempt at the #Greatest #heist #ever--and I don't mean great as in "wonderful", rather great as in "largest". We should *all* be #bipartisan #furious!
Thank you, @hcrichardson.bsky.social!

Golden Toilet Bonespurs demands their loyalty. His is transient, whether for 5 minutes or 5 months--or however long it takes him to wash his hands.
I wonder what makes those doing his beck and call now think things will ever be different for them... ... ...
If you haven't read this yet, do. He needs to be impeached. If I'm saying this at the end of his first week back in the White House, imagine how bad it will be by 2028. He wants you to be frozen, fearful of what's next. Don't just be afraid: Get ANGRY and PUSH BACK! NOW--before it's too late!
The IGs fire back.
Trump might eventually get his way...but don't make it easy for him.
Don't let him circumvent a single law.
Challenge every amoral, unethical, unconstitutional action.
Fight him tooth and nail every step of the way.
Congratulations to Donald Trump, who just committed his first impeachable offense.

None of these federal workforce executive orders are designed to help the American People. They are designed to stoke fear, sow chaos, and get experts who would otherwise push back on harmful policy to quit their jobs or be fired.
Ask me how I know.
Thank you! I think we take writing for granted, especially when we write well. Those who don't may not see it. I'm sharing your quote--and keeping it for a personal reminder to look beyond the obvious at times.
No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.
Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.
Ms. Hemphill's ownership of her role on January 6, 2021 takes far more courage than Golden Toilet Bonespurs' efforts to erase that day. We must *never* forget January 6. It's comparable to the British celebration of Guy Fawkes Day.
Pamela Hemphill has refused a pardon from Trump for her role in January 6. "Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation.”
raise your hand if you think that is, in fact, what the president “wants”:

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.
Here is my response to Donald Trump’s latest malicious lies:

Seems like Bluesky fixed the problem. (Thanks, Bluesky!)
Happy Holidays, everyone!
What a bummer! I thought it was just the gif I posted. It's not. I just noticed there are several others missing too.
Despite that, I'm sending wishes to all of you for a very Happy Holiday!
Dear Kristen Weller and all other press, when they say we deleted evidence, refer them to this…. It’s all the evidence:

Way to go Liz. This is just insane
Just a reminder that the GOP relied on the testimony of a man who just plead guilty to lying about a bribery scheme between Joe and Hunter Biden .
This was the main witness and story the GOP relied on in impeachment committee
