ICE is labeling a lot of people M-13 gang members to deny them bail and make Cheeto happy.
Sessions put himself personally on the case of a woman who was raped and beaten and now may be deported.
Qatar is bailing our Little Jared and his crap piece of 666 property.
Cheeto is spewing crap about NK, thinking that’s salvaging the talks.
Someone is pitching a show starring Avenatti and Scaramooch fighting with each other. Really.
Yesterday was a bad day for the @POTUS narrative on several fronts. And what we’ve learned is that the more compromised he is, the more hysterical his tweets become. https://t.co/hqChbg9q7X
The courage of Linda Brown and other young kids who were willing to stand up to fight for racial integration helped lay the groundwork for #BrownvBoard. Kids have always led the way for social change. pic.twitter.com/UMc3YNOMEW
Sheila, thank you for mentioning it. This needs to be repeatedly mentioned, especially since Republicans, like Darrell Issa, falsely claimed, over and over again, that the Obama administration was the most corrupt administration in history.
What the press is clearly not doing is recognizing and acknowledging that Trump is willfully and hysterically conflating all undocumented immigrants, DACA and MS-18 at every opportunity and directing ICE to do likewise. @AP@nytimes@ABC@CBSNews@NBCNews@MSNBC@CNNhttps://t.co/i1MYY4cjMt
On this anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education decision, an unsung hero from that case was Constance Baker Motley, who wrote one of the first briefs for @NAACP_LDF. She'd go on to become the first African American woman confirmed to federal bench. #BrownvBoardpic.twitter.com/t4PBTA0jtL
Thank you so much, Sheila, for sharing this. The Hon. Constance Baker Motley is one of the forgotten heroes of NAACP-LDF legal struggle to end Jim Crow. She was actively involved in so many desegregation cases, including the James Meredith case for his admission, as the first African American, at the University of Mississippi.

Just introduced a bill requiring any Executive Branch spending at Trump-owned businesses, like golf courses and hotels, be disclosed to the public. Americans deserve to see how their tax dollars are being used to enrich the nation’s chief executive and his family. pic.twitter.com/UWhTB7yiQq
OK, disclosure: am not a mean person except these are those times when we’re running out of Effs or even Webster’s polite equivalent language. Foolish Rudy keeps running around saying Dotard won’t be indicted. Alrighty now! Methinks that day is a-coming. Let’s throw a TOD virtual party that day & release the general angst in the fab way of TOD family! 😇🎵😂😎💞
Gazelle, I too would prefer the “pest control” approach, but I will welcome any method/scheme that will get rid of this treasonous criminal gang that’s currently controlling the American government..
Evening meditation: "Our apologies, good friends." Fifty years ago today, the Catonsville Nine were arrested for protesting the Vietnam War. Here is the statement, now a classic in prophetic literature, read by Daniel Berrigan, SJ, at their trial. https://t.co/C9BmXCkD57pic.twitter.com/CUUWUqpu6G
This is in response to Trump’s tweet that he’s had “the most successful first 17 month Administration in U.S. history, by far.”
Most documented lies. Most racism, bigotry and misogyny. Most emoluments and self-dealing. Most destruction of American institutions, agencies and values. Most ally insults and alienation. Most resignations and firings. Most TV watched every day and golf nearly every weekend. https://t.co/E9pTrKIkrW
Goodnight, TODville! Have my wonderful 16-y/o, 6’8″ grandson spending the night, and we’re going out and about tomorrow! How lucky am I!
Oh and this is interesting:

Childhood friend of Cohen, convicted felon and operative of Trump, Felix Sater said he lined up financing for the Trump Tower Moscow deal with … VTB bank.

Reopening of closed cases is a sign that Trump/his advisors have become so overwhelmed by a form of racial sickness is now beginning to truly erode rule of law…..reason Europe is so worried abt Trump is having US POTUS lead illiberal internationale will destablize the world. https://t.co/Gq7FU2hFRU
Also, speaking of context: yesterday the Trump administration unilaterally announced it said that immigration judges did not have the ability to close cases, and was re-opening the ~350,000 cases of people whom a judge ruled should no longer be deportable. See this thread —> https://t.co/rPJuqRtmAW

Always fascinating how a man: 1) born with a silver spoon in his mouth 2) who dodged serving his country 3) who was propped up by his Dad w/millions 4) lives on 5th Ave. and in Palm Beach 5) dated/married a series of models …always plays the victim card

In addition to refusing to answer whether Sessions was involved in the citizenship question being added to 2020 Census, Gore is giving very squishy answers about whether the data collected will be shared with other agencies. He is Acting Asst Attorney General for CIVIL RIGHTS.
Justice Department's John Gore would not answer question from Democratic @RepJimmyGomez of CA on whether White House adviser Stephen Miller contacted DOJ about adding #2020Census citizenship question.
This hearing is 🔥🔥. Gore refuses to answer questions. Now @CarolynBMaloney is making a motion to subpoena Gore to compel him to answer questions today. https://t.co/6pwm81u9Pd
Multiple casualties in shooting at high school outside Houston, officials say; alleged gunman in custody
The shooting occurred at Santa Fe High School in Galveston County. An assistant principal at the Texas school said the alleged gunman had been “arrested and secured.” TV footage showed students walking away from the main school building under the watch of officers.
A police union official said at least one officer was among the injured.
I hope the young people across the country will vote the GOP out and return normalcy to America. Why would the future generations want their kids to have “active shooter drills” and police patrolling the school grounds with guns. Guns do not belong near a learning institution. It just reminds you that the schools are unsafe.
In Atlanta tonight, @JoeBiden rebukes @realDonaldTrump comments that immigrants “are animals” and failure to condemn Nazi rallies in Charlottesville. Biden: “For God’s sake!…We must not only reject it. We must challenge it and expose it for what it is…Silence is complicity.”

OMG. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a child in school or a parent of school age children right now, knowing that nothing is being done to stop this obscene carnage. Absolute heartbreak.
I know meta, the powerlessness students all over the USA must feel that adults just don’t give a damn about their lives. That allowing this to continue over and over and over again must be maddening to them and to their parents. When you live in a predominately white small town or an affluent white community how can you say your kids are safe? These are the kids whose parents who allow them to have access to guns like the fool who showed up with a MAGA hat, a flag, and a gun strapped to his side going to the active murder site. The press had the nerve to interview him. Its all about ratings for the media and money for the GOP & gun manufacturers when this tragedy happens.
Just one month ago, these very students were asking us to protect them. It’s crushing.
@schoolwalkoutUS Santa Fe High School. Santa Fe, Texas. #NeverAgain We read a poem by a parkland survivor, handed out gun violence fact sheets and orange ribbon, did 17 minutes of silence, and then talked about ways to raise awareness for gun violence, and make your voice heard. pic.twitter.com/UiIwVVw75q
UGH, All the media is texting this girl and asking for “interviews”, these are sick people. She is asking them to give her time, she is grieving for f.sake.
At least 8 people killed in Texas School Shooting and this asshole is standing outside wearing a red MAGA hat and a gun at his hip. Trump supporters have no decency, no compassion and no heart. pic.twitter.com/azvGWhp7CA
#UPDATE There have been explosive devices found in the high school and surrounding areas adjacent to the high school. Because of the threat of explosive items, community members should be on the look-out for suspicious packages and anything that looks out of place.
UPDATE: Shooter has been identified as 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis.
According to his social media pages, he had a vested interest in guns, knives and animal torture. He also owned a trench coat with USSR and Nazi medals on it.https://t.co/SwEsIcr2iYpic.twitter.com/bNjbpDl8Dx
Trump personally pushed postmaster general to double rates on Amazon, other firms
President Trump personally urged the leader of the U.S. Postal Service to double the rates the agency charges Amazon and other firms for delivery packages in several private conversations in 2017 and 2018.
The Postmaster General, Megan Brennan, responded that the arrangements are bound by contracts and reviewed by an independent commission. She also argued to Trump the arrangements have benefits for the financially beleaguered Postal Service.
Trump has repeatedly accused the Postal Service of subsidizing Amazon, whose chief executive Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.
When @BarackObama arrived to meet the Foundation fellows today, he greeted them with handshakes. But he greeted Melissa Malzkuhn @mezmalz in sign language. She wants to give deaf children digital tools.
GA, TODbots.
❤ You all.
Thank you NW.
Now, back to catching up.
Whew! Okay I’m here, I was in meetings all morning long. What did I miss?
Let’s see………
ICE is labeling a lot of people M-13 gang members to deny them bail and make Cheeto happy.
Sessions put himself personally on the case of a woman who was raped and beaten and now may be deported.
Qatar is bailing our Little Jared and his crap piece of 666 property.
Cheeto is spewing crap about NK, thinking that’s salvaging the talks.
Someone is pitching a show starring Avenatti and Scaramooch fighting with each other. Really.
And lots more……..too much to mention.
In other words, just another Thursday in Trumpville.
Yeah! And it’s only just a bit past noon where I dwell.
Didn’t realize there was a new post. This is the tweet of the freakin’ day.
This is quite Fantastic, for any age…..But for 8yo boy……This is Awesome!
Need i Mention..that Pres Obama’s name is NOT on this list!!!!!
Sheila, thank you for mentioning it. This needs to be repeatedly mentioned, especially since Republicans, like Darrell Issa, falsely claimed, over and over again, that the Obama administration was the most corrupt administration in history.
Oh, HELL NO
the press does not see that this is not about anything but deporting as many blk and brown people as possible…PERIOD….
has ICE terrorized any European Immigrant Communities….i have yet to read about it
THIS
This man deserves the worse possible thing that could happen to a human being……
That’s just simply beyond awesome! Bless!

Which just confirms that *they* — GOP — aren’t.
One of my biggest irritants.

Gazelle, I too would prefer the “pest control” approach, but I will welcome any method/scheme that will get rid of this treasonous criminal gang that’s currently controlling the American government..
Count me in, Gazelle! Cannot wait for that day!
Awesome idea, Gazelle!!!

Sweet. Happy Birthday, Tally!!!

My generation’s war …
This is in response to Trump’s tweet that he’s had “the most successful first 17 month Administration in U.S. history, by far.”
I’ve had to remind myself of this on occasion, and mostly I agree with it.
Happy Birthday Tally.
Goodnight, TODville! Have my wonderful 16-y/o, 6’8″ grandson spending the night, and we’re going out and about tomorrow! How lucky am I!
Oh and this is interesting:
The topic tonight on the 11th Hour is about… leaks from a leaking WH.
Morning everyone
NO WORDS
Here we go again.

I wish I was there! I love finishing cakes!
I love eating them more…..LOL ! Afternoon TOD, Meta.
Hellloooooo!!
I hope the young people across the country will vote the GOP out and return normalcy to America. Why would the future generations want their kids to have “active shooter drills” and police patrolling the school grounds with guns. Guns do not belong near a learning institution. It just reminds you that the schools are unsafe.
WOOOOT!!
the most poignant thing you will see today…smh/
OMG. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a child in school or a parent of school age children right now, knowing that nothing is being done to stop this obscene carnage. Absolute heartbreak.
Can you imagine that child going to school everyday waiting for it to be her “turn” to be terrorized or killed? I just don’t get this country anymore!
Same meaningless script from those with the power to do something every damn time. I CANNOT.
I know meta, the powerlessness students all over the USA must feel that adults just don’t give a damn about their lives. That allowing this to continue over and over and over again must be maddening to them and to their parents. When you live in a predominately white small town or an affluent white community how can you say your kids are safe?

UGH, All the media is texting this girl and asking for “interviews”, these are sick people. She is asking them to give her time, she is grieving for f.sake.
I am hearing 9 and maybe 10 have been murdered, mostly students. Another sad day in America.
It just keeps getting worse by the minute
Thank God for such beautiful news!
Thank you for posting something so uplifting.
