How do I quickly describe my life? I'm a Gen-X SAHM, a fan of fantasy & sci-fi, left-leaning, and horrified. I have worked on websites, I studied biology once upon a time, and I like weird nature facts and history.
There are signals from various sources that Russia knows it is going to lose in its illegal invasion of Ukraine. We must prevent Donald Trump from assisting Vladimir Putin any further with one of his bullshit deals. Keep the pressure on.
Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
We’re already seeing it:
“Stop talking about Epstein, we’re at war”
“There’s a war on, stop complaining about the price of gas”
Next up: “You can’t have a mass #NoKings mobilization on March 28th”

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
It’s quite obvious to the world that Trump wants this war so he can concoct an excuse to stop elections. Among a thousand other reasons.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Tweet from Jon “Bowzer” Bauman calling something “literal fake news,” quoting a Bulwark post saying Fox News Sunday aired old footage of a military dignified transfer instead of the most recent one; screenshot shows Donald Trump saluting during the ceremony.
The Fox network is covering for the fact that Trump’s a disrespectful jerk to our fallen soldiers and their families.
Trump needed this war for many reasons, not the least of which is.. He is too far into his term to continue blaming Biden for everything that is wrong in his presidency, the war will now get the bulk of the blame.
Keep it going...

A cartoon of Pete Kefsbreath shouts at American flag-draped coffins: “STOP TRYING TO EMBARASS THE PRESIDENT!”

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran
I can’t believe how stupid everything is
POPULAR INFO: “Saudi Crown Prince MBS reportedly urged Trump to attack Iran — a top regional rival… MBS’s influence with Trump has grown as the Saudi government invested billions in projects that personally enrich Trump & his son-in-law Jared Kushner.” popular.info/p/the-money-...

Yes, let’s build universal child care rather than another warship or detention center.
The mayor (and the team) is an amazing communicator. 💙
White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
Wish there was a better academic publishing system? Bluesky and its underlying ATProto technology, along with services like @chive.pub and the broader @atproto.science ecosystem, could do the job. #AcademicSky 🧪 leaflet.pub/2f431faf-c12...
This “it’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…
Another example how you turn those who may have been sympathetic to your cause into people who hate you with an undying passion.
Jasmine Crockett has sparked a revolution in Texas and in DC!
She is a force! A force women can be proud of !
Strong women like her are becoming the norm rather than the exception!
We need all the Jasmine Crockett’s to speak truth to power!

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

UNREAL!! Rep. Ilhan Omar's State of the Union guest Aliya Rahman was arrested by Capitol Police during speech for simply standing up silently. That's it. She didn't shout or scream. She Stood silently in protest. This is what FASCISM looks like! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
The Republicans' cover-up of the Epstein files and their disrespect toward the victims make it obvious that they don't care if children get raped. Republican politicians view the scandal as an annoyance, a threat to their ability to stuff money in their pockets.
