Trump can't admit that he was wrong with deporting him the first time. His only "crime" is that he's become an embarrassment to the fascist regime.
What’s one way we can rein in ICE?
We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.
Watch.
“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.
OK. That made my evening.

I wanted to see him in a bigger role and in Washington since I lived in Long Beach while he was mayor. I remember him coming to the various marches and unabashedly standing up for our Islamic neighbors. Some day I hope to see #RobertGarcia in the White House.
Are you making these available, too?

I love your little Portland frog keychains. I'm hoping I'll be getting one for Christmas!

Never before in living memory has it been as urgent for America to have a strong opposition party. Which is why it’s so important for Democrats to take the steps I lay out in this video.
And if there are Democrats who won’t — we need to replace them with those who will.
Just came home after walking the dog and caught a dark shape slipping under my couch out of the corner of my eye. Screamed before realizing it was the roomba.
Question:
Now that there is a "potential deal" in the Senate that the House needs to reconvene to vote on it before the shutdown ends, and will that mean that Mike Johnson will have to seat Adelita Grijalva at that time?
The queer pop anthem this administration did not ask for. 💕🐴🤥 #BigPhonySchmuck #NewVideo #parody
Can't help but notice that of the to 5 post topics today 3 were footballgames/teams and the other 2 (including the #1 spot) were two specific Democrats who caved to the Republican bullies pushing the CR.

Democrats cave. No real assurances on ACA. This is why the party establishment will ... MUST... fall to more progressive candidates. Mamdani is only the beginning. We want leadership who won't continue to compromise the populous!
These are the senators at risk of caving.
Please call them - especially if you live in their state. Please tell them to not cave until you get guarantees on healthcare. (Not just empty promises from Rs)
What was the point in all this if Dems cave now without any guarantees?
And as if people didn't bother to study the artist and know that he encourages critical dialog with his pieces!
Had to love "the art". All I could think of was the amount of vitrol over Goggin's "Fine Balance".
But yes, so much to love about Petaluma!
