I am a woman of a certain age still trying to get it right. I believe everyone should be free to be themselves. I create mandalas, like cats & Quiddler, chocolate & red wine. No DM’s please. πŸ˜‰

BREAKING: Pete Kegstand IGNORED the CENTCOM chief and the Chair and Vice Chair of the Joint Chiefs opposition to GUTTING offices that limit civilian casualties, calling them "stupid." He fired and replaces all opposed. Politico with the exclusive: www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling.

Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics.

So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?

See the problem...

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is β€œfilled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Please read and share. The β€œgrassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

I have never regretted supporting a political candidate more than I regret supporting John Fetterman.

Noem’s masked anonymous Federal agents have killed three Americans

They are illegally conducting surveillance of Americans exercising their First and Second Amendment rights

And they are arresting people who should not be arrested.

Ukraine's Lasar's Group of the National Guard destroyed a rare 1K148 Yastreb-AV radar deep behind Russian lines in Luhansk region. The Northern Regional SIGINT Center provided the location data, after which Lasar's Group pinpointed the exact position and dispatched heavy bomber drones to destroy it.

Don’t let them trick you. The SAVE Act is not a voter ID bill. It’s a voter SUPPRESSION bill.

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?

Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

CNN: Kuwait, Iraq, and the UAE are shutting off wells as storage tanks overflow. Once these wells go dark, they cannot simply be flipped back on, creating a looming supply crater that would create a cascading effect on the global economy.
