So your aunt is also your grandmother? I wouldn't want to be in charge of your family tree. Yes. Not biological, but I grew up calling her "Auntie Granny." I needed that LOL.

Newsweek is reporting that Trump offered Macron a bilateral trade deal if France left the EU. This is fine

UN snubs the Trump admin by not picking his guy for a migration agency. To be fair, the pick was anti-Muslim and anti-refugee, so he should never have been picked anyway.

I think they caught the suspect. Not to out myself but may or may noy be my hometown 😢. Big hugs. I’m .5 miles away and on lockdown. So that’s fun And it’s I day at the academy as well. Ugh it's just so sickening. Annapolis is so strong and the paper going out today is so moving. What a loss to the community 💔.

Strzok said he requested an open hearing and release of transcripts and was denied on both:
Makes you wonder why after insisting to speak to him they won't release anything. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... I wonder.

Annapolis is my state capital. I subscribed to the Gazette last night. It's only .99 for the first month. www.capitalgazette.comEspecially with our federal government imploding into fascism, it's a really good time to get in touch with your local and state politics. Subscribe to your local papers.

A twitter account possibly belonging to the Capital Gazette shooter has surfaced. It includes multiple threats to the Capital Gazette, including in part over criticism of Trump. But somehow the right will still blame Waters.

But somehow the right will still blame Waters. I'm still trying to sort out how anyone could view Waters' statements as inciting violence. Truth doesn't matter anymore. Nope. Why follow logic and the truth when you can blame a Democrat, and a woman POC at that? God they're terrible.

I tweeted about this last night and somehow even though at the time I only had 45 followers and nobody ever seemed to read anything I tweeted, the tweet has blown up. There was one woman on there arguing about how Maxine was insinuating that people should stalk and harass which means she was telling them to be violent. Even when people pointed out that Milo literally said the words "gunning down journalists", she came back with well nobody really follows or knows Milo so that doesn't matter.

Ok so they dont follow Milo, Fox News shows all the time about the president inciting violence, also this Tuesdays PSA had a thing about how Fox only shows the clips of people like Waters, Warren, etc where they are calling out the pres. So it follows that their viewers would think that Max & Liz are out there raising militias to overthrow him. And I'm not saying CNN/MSNBC are all fair and balanced but at least they TRY to have some type of representation occasionally. And those people (I'm looking at you Kellyanne) make fools of themselves.

Subscribe to your local papers. I go back and forth on this because my local paper is AWFUL. They were bought out by a big corporation and they basically fired all of their editors. It's almost unreadable. But it's also not the fault of the reporters, who are trying to do more with so much less. Arg. It's rough. But they wouldn't have needed the buyouts if they had strong financial bases. It's mostly water under the bridge at this point, many are beyond saving now I suppose.

Trump wants to know when Mueller's going to release his conflicts of interest:
Really trying to set the stage with his base that when (not if) Mueller comes at him with something, his base won't believe it.

I think I'm gonna rewatch How to Survive a Plague on Netflix this weekend. Such an inspiring (and enraging) story about movement building and activism in the heart of the AIDS crisis. I'm reminded this morning how privileged I am to have never legitimately feared or felt targeted or ignored by my government before. We have a lot to learn from those who have lived this.
