Dog mom. Left of center. I love other people's art, making art, knitting, baking, "proper" football, reading, music, tea *and* coffee, real butter, recycling/upcycling, dropping F bombs as needed. Fed up with maga & American religiosity. No DMs.

Damn right
Best answer yet!
Insight, my arse. They are racist troglodytes who should do the world a favor and f*ck off back to their caves.
I feel that it's worth reading. It certainly validated so much of what I've been thinking ever since the first time I heard tfg use the term "dictator" in a press conference back in 2017. I downloaded a digital copy since I couldn't find a hard copy locally.
The wonderful German word "Backpfeifengesicht" always comes to mind when I see photos of those broligarchs.
This should not be the norm for Ukraine 😢
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Same here, though I'm 63 now...
Ah yes. Selective justification.
Elect a businessman? The hotel tycoon who ended tourism. The dealmaker who killed trade. The billionaire who broke the economy. The Christian who crucified Christianity. The president who sold out democracy. The patriot who betrayed America. The builder who demolished the American Dream.

I am so proud at the folks in my little town who came out to stand up to Fascism! This is a tribute to the folks in California who did this, wearing black outfits, covering their faces. It was an honor to film this for my community. If you look carefully you'll see my mom waving.
Thank you, @theguardian1.bsky.social for another spot-on cartoon from David Squires! www.theguardian.com/football/pic...
"This world will never let you be happy"... and then the song ends with a laugh. Wow. And "Metroland" actually exists: songsaboutplaces.blogspot.com/2012/04/love...
💔 "Freddie Mercury was a boomer."
No apology necessary. I'm an American, and I agree with you. Unfortunately, FIFA is as corrupt as tfg, so we can expect the show to go on as planned.
Props to your sister, it's really nice! Wish I could afford it...

I hope you and your loved ones are as safe as possible. Woody Allen is a troglodyte who should just f*ck off back to his little cave.

just smashing the "Americans actually hate the realities of mass deportation and we should be hitting R's on it, not running away from it" button again and again

We need a new hacker group that will get the Epstein files and fight the good fight. Call them "Unanimous"
Oh that's gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!!
Happy 99th Birthday Mel Brooks BTD 1226 #MelBrooks
this is disturbing, but i’m enjoying thinking about a reverse situation where a Christian gets elected in a majority Muslim country and a bigoted legislator smears him by calling him “little Jesus”
“It’s always good to have more Satie, and especially to widen people’s awareness of the variety of his output, his inventiveness and curiosity.” www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j... ❤️ 27 previously unknown works by #ErikSatie
If anyone is upset over his recent comments, remember what McConnell said to Obama about the enormous benefit healthcare for all would provide: "You must be under the mistaken impression that I care.”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmood... His wiki page lists everything he has published.
Mira Nair is amazing! I love her films. especially Salaam Bombay and Mississippi Masala!

Thanks to #LukeBerryman for his piece in The Guardian, I'm reading Sebastian Haffner's "Germany, Jekyll and Hyde" (published in 1940; w.wiki/EZn7). I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to understand what's going on in our own country. Haffner's "Defying Hitler" is next.
When the rich feel threatened by the poor, they fund fascism.

I realize that was who you meant. So many of us want to see real progress and change because "politics as usual" does not work for 97% of Us. I can only hope that the mid-terms will be the "FO" part of FAFO for some Dems who aren't true public servants.
"Fuckin' A" ... pretty sure that a Boomer first coined that phrase! 😘 As a progressive dem AND a Boomer, I agree that the old guard does stand in the way of the progress. There are more of us "oldies" on your side than you might expect!
Heck yeah! I remember getting a Slade flexi-disc from a cereal box in the early 1970s. No idea which song or which cereal, but I do recall it was from their album "Slayed". Somewhere, I have the "sounds of the space age" flexi-disc from National Geographic, circa 1969.
🤣 That is hilarious! Was Lori the Donny fan?
Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.
Many years ago I heard neutrinos referred to as "the loners of the particle world." I always thought that would be a great name for an indie/alt-pop band! Thank you for all you do to help make Science more accessible to We The People!
Never before, in the history of Our country, have there been so many #unqualified, #incompetent, #oath-breaking, evil people in positions of power at the same time. Is this how #NotKing does #DEI?
Enough is enough! #KristiNoemPuppyKiller should resign, or be removed from office immediately.
I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.
He'd be the perfect posterchild for advocating free *mental* healthcare in this country.
Came across this gem when I entered a rabbit hole earlier...
😂 Pretty sure that's what one of the juvenile mockingbirds in my neighborhood does every afternoon!
I forgot to include Mothers for Democracy as one of the co-organizers.
Best image of the day:
Sugar Land's No Kings protest was great!!! There were LOTS of amazing homemade signs!! THANK YOU to the organizers Indivisible-No Surrender Coalition, AFT, Sugar Land PD, and all the volunteers for your hard work in making our No Kings protest happen, and to We The People for standing up! ❤️
Same here.
My dog said that Emilio was just asking *very politely" for a pup cup.
#NOKINGS
Some of us are sick and damn tired of our so-called leaders invoking "prayers" as an answer every single time sh*t like this happens. (I personally am fed up with all the pseudo-christian religiosity in general.) We The People need for Jeffries et.al to step up and effing DO THEIR JOB.

❤ Grackles are awesome!
Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay
Mt Trashmore
Maybe you care deeply about our country, but protests just have never been your thing… I encourage you to make it your thing tomorrow, June 14, 2025. Your country needs you. 😎✨ #NoKingsProtest
From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!
@padilla.senate.gov: "We’re a co-equal branch of government, our job is oversight and accountability... If there's an opportunity for me to ask a question in-person at a press conference in my home state, that's me doing my job."
As a Texan, I agree!
“O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth!” — Tom Paine, 1776 Millions of Americans will stand forth Saturday, from Concord and Lexington, from Gettysburg and Philadelphia, from 1800 cities, towns, villages and crossroads, to declare: NO KINGS!
Good trouble! #NoKingsSince1776
Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) answered: “This is a lie. We all saw the video. —” She added: “If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?” All he’s done is lie since he came down that escalator.

Keep calling them out!!!

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.
End the Trumpery now!
What DHS & ICE are doing is illegal. Congress needs to remember their oath to *our* Constitution and put a stop to this trumpery immediately!
In a "great" USA, #KristiNoemPuppyKiller and #J6 traitors would be in jail. #EndTheTrumpery #NoKingsSince1776
Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit
W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily
Per Newsweek, out of 574 adult veterans polled nationally between April 14 and 24, 70%of all veterans oppose Trump's military parade, 54% of Republican veterans, 71% of Independent veterans, and 96% of Democratic veterans. #CadetBoneSpurs that's what you get for calling them 'suckers' and 'losers'!
Good Wednesday morning Blue Sky's! “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead
I C E should be deployed to The White House to arrest trump-he incited a full-fledged insurrection at the Capitol on January 6 and has yet to be held accountable. That needs real attention and must never leave the consciousness of our nation. Secret Service saved Mike Pence-trump said SO WHAT!
My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:
It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.
Asshat.
