you must learn to proceed without certainty
Nothing like a field of sunflowers and bees to make an aching heart a little more peaceful. At Hennigar's Farm Market in Greenwich, NS, a cut flower by donation fundraiser for a local hospital. #flowersonfriday #gardensky #bloomscrolling #sunflowers #gardens
The United States Tennis Association told broadcasters not to show any booing of Trump today. Call them to let them know how you feel about them enabling a wannabe dictator and his fascist regime.
May we never stop hoping....
Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not Knows no release from little things: Knows not the livid loneliness of fear, Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings.. Amelia Earhart
The irony is a little too on the nose that Missouri Republicans are calling our initiative petition process “a push by out-of-state interests” when they are gerrymandering because of Trump’s demand for a congressional seat… Last I checked, Trump doesn’t live in Missouri.
Our rights were never given — they were won. From the ballot box to picket lines, generations of Americans have fought to secure fundamental freedom and dignity for all of us. As Trump tries to rule like a dictator, we’re taking to the streets again to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

“Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America.”
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
PEOPLE I GOTTA ASK In The US; drug trafficking is not a crime for the Death Penalty. Yet; US decides to inflict the death penalty on 11+ people, with no trial, no evidence & no Identity to notify next of kin. What have we become. Those executed was somebody to somebody; somewhere
This part.
Agreeing with, not liking, this post! 💯 Yarvin, Thiel, and their ilk admit this. In a June Ross Douthat interview, Thiel couldn’t even bring himself to say that the human race should endure. See also,

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing
Yep! I was watching.
Two more Republicans. That’s all we need to force a vote in the House on releasing the Epstein files. If you live in a GOP district, your representative needs to hear from you: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Today’s post is from guest Michael Wood, a patriot and veteran who bled for this country and now wrestles with a question: Will America remain only an idea? His words are raw, honest, and urgent—reminder of what’s at stake in this moment adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/saving-the...
PSA: Go easy on people, today...Guys, and Gals, alike. There is a lot of C-PTSD being triggered by all the abuses surfacing. Whether you realize it, or not, someone in your life is likely a survivor of sexual assault. Listen to survivors. Stand with them.

That's true. But in the context of the times and the surrounding culture, it's a big deal. It makes a difference, even now, when the right to consent to a pregnancy is still an issue.
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
It is worth noting that *the writer of the story included consent.* Many other "divine conception" stories that circulating at the time (e.g. Persephone, Leta and the Swan) didn't. This was an important choice *for the writer of the story to make.* *In context,* that's almost a feminist statement.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Right-wing billionaires who own the media are enabling the Trump regime’s authoritarian takeover. This is why it is so critical to support independent journalism right now. Traditional media is no longer a trustworthy source of information for the public to stay informed and fight against fascism.
School starts tomorrow for many. Approximately 1 in 74 people in Ontario currently has COVID. If those were the odds for a lottery, I’d be buying several tickets, but this isn’t a lottery worth winning. Masks work, insist on open windows & filtering the air/HEPAs.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Good night 💤🌙
C’mon folks 19 states are facing occupation, let’s make sure this toolkit makes it around BlueSky 🤗 WE are the resistance!
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
You won't find me defending what is clearly (to me, at least) mythology. But in the story, there was consent. BTW, Christians are not a monolith. Many Christians share similar views to mine. White Evangelical Christians have seized the narrative, but they are not the spokespersons for Christianity.
California stepping up.
In 1967, my father named the Three Evils of Society—racism, poverty, and war—as threats to our democracy at his address at the National Conference for New Politics. Today, we must confront them with the same courage, conviction, and urgency he showed nearly 60 years ago.
While billionaires convert the government into their private slush fund, we’re coming together to demand a country that puts workers first. #LaborDay2025
Not without her consent. She was asked, and gave her consent. This point actually matters a lot. There's a *lot* that's messed up about Christianity, but the early early church respected women far more than the culture around them did. Then Constantine co-opted it, made it a state religion, and ...
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

He's bored. He's so clearly bored. He's making a sort of sad face, but it's mostly boredom I read there. It's even in his voice.
Can I get a witness brothers and sisters. Anyone on American soil has a right to due process, It's guaranteed by the Fifth & Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution, guaranteeing fair treatment under the law regardless of citizenship status. Can you feel it Come on down
Masked ICE aren’t about safety; they’re about fear and evading responsibility. Demand transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition:
We shouldn’t trust a thing that lying sex trafficker says, all so she can get an easier sentence or even a pardon.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
"Reviewing the list of provocations, acts of aggression, international crimes, lies, deceits, and abuses Putin has committed since then is staggering. In the intelligence community, these are known as 'trends'—and they are rarely this clear."
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Good morning- Epstein files can be released today if Trump wants to. “Why would anyone protect those scum bags? Ask yourself this question daily…”
On 8/22, 8/23, and 8/25, protest the techno-fascist billionaire whose company powers ICE, funds genocide, and runs the surveillance state—Peter Thiel. This Nazi is a danger to democracy everywhere. It’s time to #PurgePalantir. Find a protest or host one near you: actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Veterans already face so many obstacles when in need of medical care. To see VA hospitals reporting even more severe staffing shortages is gutting. Lauren Boebert voted to cut VA funding because she doesn't view caring for veterans as her job. Well, I disagree. Let's vote her out. wapo.st/45G9oj4
When the Biden-era ACA subsidies kicked in, I was able to buy health insurance. I had been without health insurance for four years by that time. It looks like I will not be able to purchase my health care yet again. Thanks, Trump voters. This is on you. missouriindependent.com/2025/08/18/m...
Slow down ICE by helping local businesses put up signs to clearly mark “Staff Only” areas that can’t be entered without a warrant. Protect your community while showing solidarity with immigrant workers and customers: act.indivisible.org/...
Nor should society, but it does. I was held responsible for my father's housekeeping when I lived an hour away and was raising two little kids on my own. I mean, I didn't do it for him, and neither did he, although able-bodied -- but guess who got blamed?
Fair enough, but if I, as a woman, were to let my housekeeping standards fall to the level of the average single dude, my landlord would hold me to a higher standard than that single dude. Huge difference between standards for men's dorms versus women's dorms, for instance. I could go on.
The White House is set to allocate 75% of refugee admissions to white South Africans. The only way to understand this is through the lens that American segregation, South African apartheid, and Nazism are interconnected—white supremacists learn and evolve, and now they occupy the U.S. government.

As food prices continue to climb, this is a fantastic time to learn how to cook with tofu! It’s an incredibly cheap and versatile form of protein. Lentils and beans, too, and they have the added benefit of being high fiber. Cutting down meat consumption will do magical things to your budget.
Seems like the new MAGA brain implant chip is to say the whole red carpet soldiers in their knees thing is because it was a military base. This is completely false. It’s a choice. Also Zelensky will be landing at Andrews. A military base. Let’s see if they do this for him.
Of course Wesley Bell was on that trip. AIPAC helped him unseat Cori Bush.
If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?
Looks the other way when ICE kidnaps people? DUMP THEM Paying workers pennies on the dollar? DUMP THEM Did they cancel DEI? DUMP THEM Selling brands complicit in genocide? DUMP THEM Do it loudly on social media. Let’s make our exes famous. 🫦 #BoycottHomeDepot #BoycottTarget #BoycottWalmart
Strong turnout and calls for solidarity as thousands gathered to show unwavering backing for Ukraine. People demand Russia end the invasion, return the 30,000 kidnapped children, and release all POWs. “We need to stand with Ukraine. They’re our allies. Russia is our enemy.” #3E #StandWithUkraine
I have to say, I'm still with Jimmy on this one.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
Listen, you can’t break the Trump cult, but they are the minority. We need a sustained presence of Democrats in rural spaces to talk to their neighbors and run for office. Seats go uncontested for decades. Hate gerrymandering? Get Democrats on every ballot and every race. We have to run to win.
Putin paid reward money for dead American soldiers. Now Trump has made the brothers of these dead American soldiers literally roll out a red carpet for Putin to walk on …on American soil. 🤔 What a disgrace. Donald Trump is a traitor.
Pot, meet kettle.

More of this energy 🙌 #Washingtondc #nationalguard
Putin couldn’t have dreamed up a better outcome, alienate our allies, gut federal institutions, fire qualified generals, wreck national security with drunk incompetent fools at the top, tank the economy and $ with tariff wars… all in just 7 months. And here we are. Coincidence?
So sorry! I hope someone is making soup 🍲 for you.
