The Department of Homeland Security has brought on a 21-year-old social media professional from the Department of Labor to help run its communications channels — despite internal concerns about N*zi-coded content he previously posted.

According to The New York Times, Peyton Rollins moved from digital content manager at the Labor Department to a key role in DHS communications this month.

His name is Peyton Rollins. C’mon.

This kid has definitely killed small animals.

Could central casting find a more inbred Nazi looking 21 year old?

There were masks on the walls in a room on Epstein Island what had a dentist chair in the middle. Howard Lutnick [current Sec of Commerce] lived next to Jeffrey Epstein on 71st St and both their homes were owned by Les Wexner. #TheEpsteinClass

 

Republicans love immigrant #PeterThiel and his rampant drug use. Republicans look right past his homosexuality. Republicans love his Big Government Palantir tracking your every move.

This all shows that it’s not about invasive, gay, immigrant, ketamine addicts. All that matters is who serves fascist white nationalism.

Billionaire sex abusers get more than due process, they get Republican protection.

ICE Detention Is About To Get So Much Worse

Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 2-14-2026

An anecdote a participant of LGBT Youth Scotlands hared yesterday during a workshop. It was a delight to meet this awesome bunch of teenagers! More to come soon! Sophie Labelle

I just cannot understand why they hate so.  They refuse to understand or accept that some kids are born LGBTQ+ just as some kids are born cis and straight.  They seem to think that children see LGBTQ+ people in society, in public, and in books / TV / movies then become LGBTQ+.  It doesn’t work that way.  They reallyhope all LGBTQ+ stay hidden either in fake loveless opposite gender marriages or stay single and celibate for life.   They are not happy or content to live their lives as they wish, they demand the right to force everyone else must live as they do or by their church doctrines.   Hugs

The video below shows a tRump administration nominee spews white supremacy crap, claiming the white people suffer the most discrimination in the US.  Claims the white culture is being erased.  But he can’t explain what white culture is except to claim that white Christians worship differently than black christians.  Food and music are different and white churches  and white food are being erased.  Hugs

MS Now clips Of Pam Bondi mocking, shouting at, disrespecting, Insulting, and disregarding democrats at oversite hearing.

OK MS Now has like 35 or 40 of these clips.  They are difficult to stomach, but I am going to post a couple.  MS Now posted clips of her attacking every democrat who had time at the hearings, so if you want to see the questions asked and her outright disrespect and trashing of the entire system in her performance for tRump all with the republicans on the committee’s approval.  I sincerely hope the republicans remember how they acted when the democrats take power this fall and I hope democrats reamin strong enough to pay back the republicans in kind. Hugs

 

 

If you watch only one watch this one below.  It has all the worst interactions.   She acted like a spoiled bratty Karen.  She came ready to accuse the democratic congress people of crimes instead of answering questions.   She is a bitter entitled woman. Hugs

 

 

 

A post I dont want to make but something is wrong with me.

So yesterday I posted about being disconnected from reality.  I am sorry I did not get to any comments today  I will do it tomorrow I promise.  Last night I tossed and turned and got up and simply walked the house.  I did not have a plan nor go online. I simply paced every room in the house mindlessly.  Let me explain it is worse than that.

I went to bed feeling exhausted, too tired to stay up, after making sure the cat got his medications and food, and then after an hour I was awake.  I tried every mind trick to keep my emotions at bay but nothing was working  and I couldn’t sleep.  But then something strange happened, not normal to me.  

I got up and went to the computers … and couldn’t focus on them.  I did not put ear buds in to listen to anything.  It was like my mind shut down and my body was on autopilot.  For hours I walked the house, room to room to room.   At 2:30 am my time Ron texted me a bit worried I had not responded to his texts, but I did not respond, I just paced around the house.   It would have been normal for me if I had had my ear buds in and sounds in my head, but I did not.  I simply walked the house and every room in it over and over and over again for several hours.   Then I sat at the computer, tried to do something, gave up and went to bed.  As close as I can figure I got two or maybe three hours of sleep.  

But the lack of sleep is not the point.  What was happening in my mind that caused me to walk like that?  I normally cannot go 20 seconds or more without exsternal imput into my mind.   But last night I had none of that and I don’t know why.  Looking back it was like I was possessed.  When I got up I knew I did it, but not why.   My mind was blank.  

Ron has often in the last decade forced me awake because I was crying out or struggling in my sleep.  Some of those he said sounded so strangled like I was trying to cry out while my throat was being closed off.  Ron was not here last night.  I was alone.   My queston is did my mind force me out of the bed and walk because there was no other way to help me from what I was remembering in my sleep?

All day today I have been off trying to get my normal posts done.  I have failed.   No other way to put it, I am failing at my posting job.   But I would love to hear what you guys think happened to me last night.  Because it is terrifying if I am just going to mind shut down and walk around.  What else might I do?  Hugs

BONDI BOMBS

What I hate about this video and the way the members of the administration act is that they show complete disrespect to the democrats with the complete permission of the republicans.  These administration figures mock, insult, and talk over, and give speeches refusing to address what was asked to instead praise tRump and insult Biden.  Notice how Bondi simply pretends to ignore the democrats when they are talking by pretending to read her own documents.  They freely lie and misdirect and the republican chair people let them.  Boy I hope the democrats find some strength to stop this when we take back the government.   It is sickening how she treats the Democrats on this committee.   Horrific disregard for elected officials.  When Jerry Nadler asks her a question she goes off on a tangent yelling at him, he demands she answer his question and she yells at an elected member of the House of representives no I will answer what I want to. Disgusting. Hugs

 

I feel detached from reality

This morning I had an MRI on my lower back.  It all went well and was quick.  The reason for it is my right leg feels as if it is being tased and it makes it difficult and challenging to stand on the leg.   I took an extra dose of instant morphine and a muscle relaxer before the MRI, as those tend to be very painful for me to lie on the table in one position for that length of time.  

Since I got home I have felt more and more disconnected from reality  My pain levels in my back have increased so I struggle to sit in my desk chair and have had to take even more more pain relievers of all kinds.  But I still struggle, I am feeling lost like debrie in the wind of a storm.  Ron has contacted me three times to forcefully tell me he loves me.  But I feel lost, ungrounded, I find myself relieaziing I am simply staring into space or have not heard a word of what is playing on the video computer. 

Plus, Sam Seder is talking to someone about the abuse of Palestinians in Gaza such as how their lands are being torn from them and they are being terrorized, yet I find I am not registering large parts of the video.   I simply am missing large segments of the video and have to rewind to watch so much of it again.   I am zoning out.  I have seriously thought of going to bed.  So much pain and abuse toward people who have no way to fight back or protect themselves.  If I let my mind focus I am instantly thrown back to my own childhood situation as a child unable to fight back against all the abuse from much more powerful people who seemed to have all the authority behind them.  

But it is more than the normal remember, be very upset, cry, sob, and try to find a way to deal.  Currently I simply am lost like I am moving in slow motion as I struggle to focus on what I need to do.  I feel like I am on go …

I just realized that for some time, I am not sure how long I have had my head down on my folded arms on my desk.  I was not crying, I was not sleeping, I simply checked out.  This seems much scarier than when I sob and cry out of control.  For an unknown part of time I just checked out of reality.  This is not normal.  I am going to go lie down for a few minutes. Hugs


I went to lie down.  I had texted Ron with my situation.  I was just lying there not thinking, no intrusive thoughts which is strange enough, just checked out when he called all upset.  He offered to start for home right away.  I explained to him that was not needed.  I am not feeling upset.  Just lost.  Just like I don’t comprehend what is happening within my eye sight and hearing.  My mind was not registering what the inputs were.  I admit it feels a bit like when I had my stroke, everything stopped making sense for a while.  Anyway while I was laying down the medication started working and I feel a bit more connected to reality.  I am not writing this to upset or concern anyone but to try to explain what is happening to me in my life.  Thank you for letting me have a place to explain my feelings and for all of you who are willing to listen.  I appreciate it, it means a lot to me. I can’t explain how important it is for me to have this space to exspress my feelings / life and know the people reading care about me. Hugs.

Texas man arrested after getting into fight with high schoolers who walked out of class to protest ICE

I have put the videos I found below.  Notice that the governor and the attorney general blame the kids and claim the schools have taught them radical left wing extremism.  The kids see the news media about what ICE is doing and have friends who are not white. They  are angry and they are future voters.  That is what scares the republican leadership in Texas so much they are demanding schools push a hard right Republican bigoted racist agenda onto schoolchildren in the hopes of raising a new bunch of maga.  They don’t blame te adult man who got out of his truck and walked into a group of minors with the intention to force his angry racist maga views on them.  Note he shoved a girl.  In his mind how dare she talk back to a male?  That is who maga thugs have degenerated into. Hugs

Law enforcement say the 45-year-old man was the ‘primary aggressor’ in the fight that went viral

 
A 45-year-old Texas man was arrested Tuesday on assault charges after getting into a physical altercation with a student who participated in an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement walkout protest, police said.

Earlier this week, students at Moe and Gene Johnson High School, located in Buda, Texas, walked out of classes in protest of the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement.

While the protest was largely peaceful,a verbal altercation between an adult man in a vehicle and a female juvenile on the sidewalk escalated into physical violence, according to video of the incident posted online, shared by CBS Austin.

The man, Chad Michael Watts, allegedly got out of his vehicle and confronted the female juvenile, resulting in an exchange of punches. After Watts pushed the girl to the ground, other students began attacking him, the video shows.

Watts was arrested nearly a day after the incident and charged with two counts of assault causing bodily injury, the Buda Police Department said. The Hays County District Attorney said it was investigating the matter as well.

“No matter one’s political views, an adult bears a clear responsibility to exercise restraint, especially in the presence of children,” the Hays County DA said. “Violence or intimidation directed at a minor – particularly during a lawful, peaceful demonstration – has no place in a constitutional republic that depends on the rule of law rather than force.

Multiple videos of the interaction, posted online, show Watts, holding what appears to be a red hat, challenging students, some of whom were holding “ICE out” signs.

After Watts pushed the girl to the ground, several students physically confronted him. One jumped on Watt’s back and pulled him to the ground while others began hitting him, punching him and pulling his hair, the video shows.

Buda police said that after a thorough investigation, “it was determined that Watts was the primary aggressor in the physical altercation.”

Both Watts and the juvenile girl sustained minor injuries but did not need EMS attention on the scene.

Law enforcement is conducting an ongoing investigation into the fight and said other charges against Watts could be filed.

Students across the country have planned walkouts in protest of President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement operations.

The walkout protests have sparked anger from some Texas officials, including Attorney General Ken Paxton, who accused officials in the Austin Independent School District of imposing a “radical political agenda” on students who planned the walkout.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott also condemned the student protests while sharing an article that stated two juveniles in Hays County were arrested for possession of alcohol and resisting arrest. Law enforcement officials said those arrests had nothing to do with the protests.

But Abbott used the article to call the protests “disruptive” and assert that school staff should be treated as “co-conspirators” in “criminal behavior.”

“We are also looking into stripping the funding of schools that abandon their duty to teach our kids the curriculum required by law,” Abbott said.

Names of the wealthy abusers still redacted.  Hugs

 

 

The DOJ is making it as difficult as possible for the congress people to see the files.  Only 4 computers are set up for hundreds of congress people.  Plus they are still redacted not of the victims but of the names of the abusers.  Hugs
