This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased.” — Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol.

@kevinmullin.house.gov a common understanding of wrong appears to be another casualty in the years-long assault on we the people. And a reminder of how prone Dems are in being complicit with what has been permitted in this country. I’ll vote but blue wave and then what. Apologies? I’m nauseous.

on the back of a carton coaster in the blue tv screen light I drew a map of canada

Even old guys like me know when it’s make a twerk time.

A friendly reminder to come to a complete stop: FYI, the SFPD frequently has an officer in wait these days to issue rolling stop violations in the quieter sections of the Portola District, vicinity of Cambridge and Sweeny. Lots of unenforced speeding/tailgating on the freeway though!

Absolutely heartbreaking letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after his murder by ICE agents. How is it possible that we still haven’t seen even a hint of justice for such a heinous crime?

I’m not a big sport and didn’t follow World Cup much at all, yet there’s a screen at the entry to the locker room at my gym and I paused when leaving today at the right moment to see Spain score that one goal. Gotta admit that was kinda poetic.

@hillaryclinton.bsky.social with all due respect I’m glad to see things don’t seem to be going the way of your financial times endorsement a few weeks back (was super disappointing to see that + legitimizing the *BoP*??). www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

@kevinmullin.house.gov I know you feel it too. Americans cannot accept this criminality. Just horrifying and a total assault on us all.

Is there any doubt that the Trump regime would show us photos or videos of "vandals" attacking the reflecting pool if they had them? And is there any doubt that such a location would have cameras? There's one logical explanation: The regime is defending a stupid lie to soothe the dictator's ego.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Well, love this.

Mike Johnson saying Dems will steal elections is pretty rich. This from the guy doing the bidding of a consummate and criminal sore loser who told us if he got elected we wouldn’t need elections anymore. Is he an aspiring slave holder? Maybe that’s why he’s abetting it all. Or just broken who knows?

Here I am on the corner supporting the woman rally in Tehachapi 6=24-26. I am on the corner of the famers market every Thursday and I attend all the rallies I can. I just don't have the resources to travel far. However making a statement here in a small red town is at least something.

More people have been arrested for the deranged president's conspiracy theories around the algae in the reflecting pool than have been put behind bars for the Epstein crimes and the architects of the 2008 Financial Collapse combined.

Goofy groovy

omg who could have forseen this

Well it’s not fair… Why don’t we make something up? youtu.be/0_ilhg4BYTQ?...

Yeah I agree with this. Once I was w a friend in Germany who had a health event requiring an ER/overnight at a small regional hospital. An admin met with me to ask about insurance. We figured we at least had credit cards for immediate costs. Later the bill for all that? $650. How it ought to be.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

If you have the chance, they’re presenting a fantastic program www.chanticleer.org/202526-conce...

Americans have a constitutional right to speak out against injustice and the inhumane cruelty we are seeing under this Administration. That is NOT a crime. This is what abuse of power looks like.  We will not stay silent while this administration tries to silence the voices of the American people.

No president ever demanded so much while doing so little.

I saw AI slop from the WH. If your life—if life itself!—depends on it being other than this… Voting is important of course, but may well not be enough. So how does one be? What does one do?

I interviewed Barney Frank at a big theater full of his fans, at the end of his book tour. He was exhausted; he called his husband to say he just wanted to be home. But then the load of kids we invited from a local disadvantaged school showed up backstage to meet him. 1/2

$1 billion for a Ballroom, $10 billion for vanity projects in DC, $15 million for an arch in front of Arlington Cemetery. Meanwhile—they are proposing to cut over $1 billion in tribal programs, tribal housing, education, water and other basic programs, while opening sacred sites like Chaco Canyon.

Yes

On a gut level check, it’s got a crook who cried wolf vibe to it.

Magyar's report of an Orbán concession in English.

ABOLISH ICE AND DEFEND HUMAN DIGNITY. NO HUMAN BEING SHOULD SUFFER IN DETENTION. IMMIGRANTS DESERVE FREEDOM, RESPECT, AND SAFETY. STAND WITH THE PROTESTERS AND SPEAK UP FOR JUSTICE.

Ever. Always. Plus is a criminal who belongs in prison.

When both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are each pulling out all the stops to support a head of state, you really ought to wonder wtf.

How does the Swalwell story get a spot on the national news and the Epstein files don’t?

The presidency was never intended to be a safe haven for criminals.

Enough is enough. House Republicans must join Democrats in stopping this madness and ending Trump's reckless war with Iran. kevinmullin.house.gov/2026/04/07/r...
