Former lit adjunct turned author of mysteries set in 19thc U.S. featuring women who can't mind their own business and have the scars to prove it. Book banning makes me crazy. I love cats, container gardening, yarn crafts, and democracy.

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Irish immigrants weren't welcomed with open arms in the 19thc...they were considered a scourge.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Watching Trump’s highly trained, fully armored and masked ICE goons being totally played by a delivery guy on a bike. They usually require an indoor hallway and an unarmed immigrant leaving a legal hearing to really show their stuff.

Can he really call it a rose garden, though? It has neither roses nor a garden. More of a cement-and-umbrella club.

Wow. I'm sure she hasn't, we'll have to show her.

I was just on a press call with TX Rep. Nicole Collier, @corybooker.com, and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social.

Rep. Collier joined us from the TX Capitol. She was ordered to leave the call, and threatened with a felony charge if she didn’t comply.

This is an outrageous violation of her freedom of speech.

Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies.

Nice work, @msnbc.com β€” every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

🚨 #SocialSecurity is on the chopping block. Thanks to Trump’s so-called β€œOne Big Beautiful Bill,” retirees are now staring down $18,000-a-year benefit cut in just seven years. Seniors who paid in their whole lives are left holding the bag.
– $13,600 cut for a typical retired couple.

With ICE's *enormous* new budget and its ability to hire *many* more agents, the United States is about to enter an era of brutal domestic terrorism that we've never seen before.

To vote for this bill is to vote to starve and kill Americans, and to saddle those who survive with a mountain of debt and a hotter globe. That is a policy choice. And everyone who votes yes owns that choice.

Am I reading the book cover right? I wasn't aware of an alternative spelling to "inconvenient"?

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😑

Trump Cuts and Runs American media silent about Trump's betrayal

Please share this. Our government has failed in its most basic duty of keeping its citizens safe. Instead, it has cut and run β€” by closing the American embassy, by telling Americans they are on their own, by abandoning them in a war zone. Where is the wall-to-wall coverage of this betrayal?

Something weird is going on over at @threads @meta today...duplicate threads everywhere, under all different user names! I usually only read/comment on other posts over there, but I checked my posts (most recent was 3wks ago), and they're duplicated, too. Anyone here know what might be going on? Tx!

They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leaderβ€”and now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you.

They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.

Trump makes wearing a face covering in public a criminal offense. Law enacted by Truth Social Edict from his country club.

The great American educator Neil Postman wrote in β€œThe Soft Revolution” that students should β€œadopt the symbols of American values rather than attack them,” emphasizing that the real revolution is in demonstrating what those values - liberty, justice & equality - mean in practice.
