Not quite a Golden Girl, but a Silver Belle. Looking at life through rose colored liberal reading glasses, focusing on joy as much as possible for awhile. We have done what we could. Winter is coming.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Trumpism is fascism.

Brian Allen (@allenanalysis) on Threads AOC just said it plainly: โ€œElon Musk isnโ€™t a scientist. Heโ€™s a billionaire con man with a checkbook.โ€ Do you agree?

Sixteen years after Citizens United, billionaires still drown out voters with dark money. Wages stagnate. Prices rise. Democracy bends toward whoever can pay the most. We donโ€™t fix this by waitingโ€”we fix it by ending it.

Shut ICE down, remove the leadership, break DHS apart, and investigate their crimes.

I have an ID,โ€ and an agent responding โ€œThat donโ€™t matter,โ€ plus hearing wailing and crying from detainees and banter and laughter from federal agents.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Donโ€™t go further down this road.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemyโ€”they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.

At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

Why Federal Judge Might Swear in Member of Congress

Judge might step in if there is an unexpected or unusual situation, such as a delay in the formal swearing-in ceremony or refusal by Speaker to administer oath

Speaker Johnson has yet to swear in newly elected Democrat, because of Epstein Files

A mass shooting in Alabama, but no, send troops to Portland. A democratic judge and senator's house gets burned down, but no, it's the left that's violent. Sickening.

Iโ€™m horrified by Trumpโ€™s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. Weโ€™re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If youโ€™re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.
