Congress needs to RE-CALIBRATE FAST:

This is NOT about "whether to fund" Trump's monarchical war.

This is about IMPEACHING and CONVICTING and REMOVING him from office for this, yet ANOTHER high crime of abusing the Presidency and using the US military WITHOUT PERMISSION.

The image shows an illustration of the comic book character Doctor Manhattan from the graphic novel Watchmen, depicted sitting on Mars. The text reads: It is 1996, we have a president born in 1946 It is 2006, we have a president born in 1946 It is 2016, we have a president born in 1946 It is 2026, we have a president born in 1946

As someone who spent the last 15 years working with aging brains & dementia, I can't stop thinking about this. It is gerontocracy: leaders who are substantially older than most of the adult population. When did we accept this? The new generations can't show up because the old generations never left.

A photo of artwork of the Statue of Liberty dead on a Seattle street, murdered… by ICE.

Friend sent this to me today. It’s in Seattle. Hadn’t seen it on here yet so I figured I’d share.

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

Opinion | I gaveled in Congress on Jan. 6. We can never stop looking back at what happened. Rep. Eric Swalwell: By claiming that Jan. 6 was “a day of love,” Trump is attempting to gaslight our nation on an industrial scale.

“The three most important days in American history since the Civil War have been: Dec 7, 1941. Sept. 11. And Jan. 6. We don’t use years for the last two. They aren’t dates on a calendar; they are scar tissue.” Spot on, Rep. Swalwell. Eric hits this one on the nose.
