You guys see where this is going? Right?
You can read the study here It’s actually pretty positive www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Powerful stuff, real, authentic means to lasting change
Zohran’s #ZcavengerHunt was a Rehearsal
Black People Know #blacksky #ninetytwopercent #therevolution #nationalguard There is nothing new under the sun.
Very proud of himself for inhibiting the urge to go after that rabbut...
Because he isn't up to it, and msm continue to bend the knee. A wise hospitalist told me years ago that my Dad, while he'd recover, he'd never get back to baseline. I believe that's what's happening to Trump. He's declining rapidly and won't return to his former status. Hence the lack of pressers.

Gardening, even if it's a hobby for some NG, must be on the whole demoralizing.
It's not ALL doom and gloom over here. For example, here's a dark heart reknitting itself... 'The Heart Reforged' shadowartfinds.etsy.com/listing/1088...
I'm a knitter. Your work is outstanding.
Yes, they would be. They'd be hoisted on their own petard.
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
I think this is a case of 'when pigs fly'. Likely scrambling behind the scenes to forestall the chaos and loss of support that is inevitable upon POTUS' passing.
More talking less doing.
For the first time, far-right parties are leading in the U.K., France, and Germany, signaling growing voter discontent across the continent.
Exactly
Mark Knoller knew everything. He was a one-of-a-kind White House correspondent and human encyclopedia. May his memory be an inspiration. www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-kn...
Always enjoyed reading his pieces. May he rest in peace.
Yikes, JD Vance better hope JD Vance doesn’t hear about this!

You know when you cross the border of a state with bans on fireworks to one that is fine with kids blowing off their fingers you immediately see a glut of firework stores? I have to think the Canadian border is going to be the same way, but w places offering cheap Covid, flu and penicillin shots.

We have people on anti depressants in Canada. We have mentally ill people. People play video games in Canada. We have single parent homes here. What other excuses do you give people with access to assault type weapons with multiple loads of ammunition in each magazine? ITS THE GUNS
A lot of folks are posting their own pics of personal encounters with hawks, red-tailed, Cooper's hawk. Important message to us from these beautiful raptors.
Agree
Me, too.
Good.
Great picture of my favorite raptor. There are those that believe these birds carry messages from our Ancestors. They're watching.
Hopefully the hawk moved on under its own power. Great photo, by the way.
(202) 224-3121. PLEASE call. ESPECIALLY if your US senators and US Rep are Republicans. DEMAND that RFK jr be forced out.
When Trump claims he can ‘do anything’ as president, he wants us to take him at his word. And unfortunately, many do. But the reality tells another story: he is largely a paper tiger whose power is checked by four distinct forces out of his control.
This is the worst kind of dystopian plot line. I am so disgusted at the evil we are expected to swallow like it’s some kind of normal international transactional diplomacy. They are making development plans for Gaza because the Palestinians will have been disposed of. In plain view.
You want to make everyone absolutely fucking hate all cops? This is how you do it. Don't FUCK with firefighters!
Thank you, Mayor Michelle Wu, for "punching the bully in the mouth" for all of us! #MichelleWu #NoAuthoritarian #NoDictator #NoKings
Well isn’t this lovely. Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?) What a terrific voice. #opera I don’t care if they’re staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.
This weekend hubby and I were eating dinner outside by the fire pit. I said, “the birds have gone silent. There is a shooter.” And just as I finished the word shooter, a shot rang out. The birds know.
Great piece. There's much resistance to the integration of the masculine and feminine in men today. It's happening in many, those you've cited in your piece among them. Also, spending a significant amount of time each day on a screen restricts social development.
So many of our problems can be resolved if we understand that people are at different levels of emotional, mental, and spiritual maturity. cac.org/daily-medita...
For starters, lets regulate RFK Jr's out-of-control lust for power and go from there.
Had to 'look up' definition of simulacrum...superb use of the word, spot on. I see this image as a 'travesty', too; I know the referent.
What a colossal waste of my tax dollars.
A fantastic review of The Second Emancipation in today's Boston Globe, seen just now, hours before I speak in Cambridge. This reviewer understands how a deep intellectual history of Pan-Africanism sits at the book's core. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/27/a...
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
Your work is important. Wishing you the peace of the Spirit and an abundance of rest.
I think sm, even Blue Sky, brings out the negativity in people. It's healthy to share different perspectives and opinions without getting pilloried. Agree to disagree, as it were. I think the pervasiveness of toxic negativity about lots of stuff is why we're in the soup now.
Please everyone be available to watch this! VERY IMPORTANT The Victims of Epstein and Maxwell will be speaking about the atrocities they endured. These are the girls that we should give hope so they may topple Maxwell & Trump
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
Hey Jersey City, I’m on your corner!

“Don’t think of this as someone else’s kids. They are your kids, praying in a church before school.” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey August 27, 2025
Expecting Congress to act on this is like expecting your car to run when your gas tank's busted. States, cities and towns, ordinary folks who make up our communities must figure out a way to protect our children.
Grateful.
Agree with you 100%.
Truth… Fox needs to be taken off of the air. They are the enabler that is brainwashing Americans and destroying our country by pandering to their fears… www.huffpost.com/entry/jesse-...
Thank you, Mayor Johnson, this needed to be said and shared, your words are powerful.
To the Bluesky community and everyone who follows and fights.
You are living very intentionally in this time. I do the same...making every moment one of transformative, hopeful, peaceful, resistance. Keep it up, there are many of us doing the same.
Thank you, Your Honor, and way to go, Utah! The state’s Legislature will now be forced to quickly redraw its congressional districts after a judge ruled Monday that lawmakers had sidestepped voter-approved safeguards designed to prevent partisan gerrymandering.
We are only off the cliff if we hand over legitimacy to these incomptent people posing as government officials. Their extremism is *off the cliff*, I agree, and must be non-violently resisted and opposed.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is trying to illegally fire her. Your words shape reality — get it right.
Poor marmot clearly feels the *indignity* of having its spa day filmed and shared...
That's it in a nutshell
Texas voters, Texas removed 100k voters from the voter rolls. Please spread the word and check your registration and re-register if necessary. thehill.com/homenews/484...
First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
Great article, a must read. One important point raised, in my opinion, is that the 'presumptive legitimacy ' of the 'Rogue Great Power ' can and should be 'eroded' through concrete actions. The urgency is warranted.
On 20 August 2025, the US Department of State made its latest round of designations, issuing sanctions against two judges, Judge Kimberly Prost of Canada and Judge Nicolas Guillou of France, and two additional ICC prosecutors. This follows three previous waves of designations, imposing

People out there replying, "That's it, we're fucked. It's over." If you need to walk away, fine. But why would you message people—many of whom are exposed or can't leave—encouraging them to give up?
I find joy in knowing their illusion of superiority is collapsing. They’re clinging to their hatred like a fish out of water, gasping for a world that no longer exists.
So I encourage resistance to authority but not outright violence unless you are defending your life. I don't think it will take very much for the orange turd to declare martial law especially prior to the 2026 midterm elections but I will not go quietly.
Push back by Blue State Governor's is exactly what we need.
Mockery works. Gotta be brave to use it.

Massachusetts citizen here...with you 💯 Gov Pritzker. Thank you for your leadership and courage.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
More posts encouraging this action! "Remember your oath to the Constitution!" Shout it from the rooftops, write it to ALL of your State's Representatives, email, call and post it wherever you can!
There are no words to express how grateful I am to American service men and women for standing up for America and our Constitution. 🙏🏽💙🇺🇸
Remember your oath to the Constitution.
Afraid of big cities? Then don’t come. ❤️ this video.
As we start a new week, please remember that status and excessive material things are imposters. Some consider them as signs of success. Yet, true success is the ability to be kind, empathetic, and the willingness to accept you can be wrong. Be open minded on all things and hungry to learn. 😊 #life
THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
