To be diagnosed with cancer is to lose something you didn't know you had, and grieve it everyday.

But I gain strength, companionship, and inspiration from the community I found here.

Thanks and blessings to you all.

“A second whistleblower and former Justice Department attorney has come forward with evidence that corroborates allegations that Trump’s judicial nominee Emil Bove directed DOJ attorneys to defy court orders and withhold information from judges, according to Whistleblower Aid, a nonprofit that helps public and private sector workers report and expose wrongdoing.

“This whistleblower has ‘provided substantive, internal DOJ documents’ that back up claims made by former senior DOJ attorney-turned-whistleblower Erez Reuveni, said the group.”

Don't let this die like they did. Please repost it.

@ChiefWitxh We had several large families (7+ kids) in our neighborhood. I was friends with some of the kids.

Once you get beyond 6 kids, the kids start parenting each other because the breeders can't keep track of them all.

Parentification of children is real and cruel.

Maybe I’m weird but I kind of think Trump’s people editing Jeffrey Epstein jail footage and mysteriously leaving out chunks of time is a bigger scandal than CBS editing a Kamala answer for clarity

Murray: How many times have my colleagues cried about the debt? How many times have they told me, I know you want to invest in child care, Patty, but we got to get this budget under control. Now that it's tax cuts for billionaires and corporations, suddenly the budget doesn't matter anymore. Suddenly the rules do not matter anymore.

Last Saturday, at my hometown’s “No Kings” demonstration, I had the honor of rallying the biggest crowd I’ve ever seen gather here — an estimated 4,500 neighbors coming together as patriots and raising our voices in unison for what binds us and what we treasure so deeply: our democracy.

As I said to my neighbors, this isn’t liberal versus conservative or Democrat versus Republican. (God-willing, a time for that healthy political discourse will come later.) This is more fundamental than that: It’s freedom versus autocracy. This isn’t America-bashing…it’s patriotism. People from across the political spectrum are waking up to our national emergency, and it’s time for blue and red to stand together for democracy — and that’s why I wear my purple shirt!

You’re welcome to share my speech — and I’d love to hear about the #NoKings events in your towns and cities, as well.

@RobynAnderson What a lovely catermelon!

Thank you for giving her a safe place to have her babies.

Unless you can solve this very fundamental problem, you need illegal immigrants to do this work for you.

There’s no other viable solution.

Americans do not want to do these jobs.

And there’s *millions* of jobs much harder than this.

Just a reminder that impeachment is the tool used against Presidents who treat the Constitution as a suggestion instead of the law of the U.S.

These ICE goons are completely out of control. Arresting US Citizens, elected officials, and terrorizing our communities.

Comptroller Lander was simply asking for the warrant.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

JUST NOW: New York Governor Kathy Hochul speaks on the arrest of Brad Lander: “You want to know what I really think? It’s bullshit. How dare they take an elected official who’s been going down there for weeks to escort people who are afraid to walk into a courthouse in the United States of America. What the hell is happening to this country?” (Video: @bern_hogan)

CARTOON OF THE DAY— throwback to 1975: Schoolhouse Rock’s “No More Kings”

Seems like a good day to revisit this gem. 🇺🇸

@JamesSurowiecki So sick of the argument that because counter measures worked, they aren't needed.

Applies to vaccines, Y2K, the garbage overwhelm threat of the 70's, etc.

What were you so worried for? The bad thing didn't happen! 🤦‍♀️

[Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule]

There are THOUSANDS of protests planned for June 14th all over the country to send a message to Donald Trump that no one wants his birthday military parade in DC that will cost taxpayers millions. #NoKingsProtest

You can find a location here: https://t.co/0QtOiDx80x

[Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule]

In preparation for Saturday's massive #NoKingsProtest, here are some guidelines from the @ACLU on knowing your rights during a protest. https://t.co/UvbPvXZrhp

Any licensed attorneys who will be attending should carry their bar cards and be willing to help.

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving:

Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.
