Finally received my copies in the mail today, which makes it all feel much more real. But you can find digital copies, too: www.routledge.com/Current-Appr...
Me and my fishy, relaxing and watching TV. We're catching up on some episodes from this week #Spike #PuppyLove #DogsofBluesky
Wasn’t it Moses who Parted the Red Sea?
At least “pushes” works its way into the dialogue. Because you can PUSH BACK when someone pushes. Conversely “Crackdown” is capitulation.
UGH!
With only 8% of the UK’s population, Scotland holds 96.5% of the crude oil, 90% of the fresh water, 92% of the hydro power, and 100% of the Scotch whisky industry. So tell me—who really depends on whom? Shouldn’t independence mean economic fairness at last? 🤔 #Scotland
After escaping a harrowing accident, a reporter will ask “were you scared?” Of course , stupid.
He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time. Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles. #StandWithTheSurvivors
I recently realized I hadn’t watched anything much on television. I pick up a few news bites then read, DuoLingo for Spanish, YouTube for sign language, Diamond painting and just give away the art.
I canceled television when I canceled Dish Network. I'm really enjoying it. I listen to music, study Spanish and other languages with Pimsleur, use Duolingo every day, write, have some social contact. I'm reading several books in Spanish. I'm very down because of Kimmel. I'm nearly without hope now.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
Oooops
There goes the First Amendment.
Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target
Local elections matter, New Mexico! Early voting starts Oct. 7 for Albuquerque mayor, city council members and school board members. There are other local races as well. Make sure you're registered (there's same-day registration), find your polling place and #VoteBlue and up and down the ballot!
1/It would appear that the homestead survived our absence with the exception of this bag of Glucosamine cat treats, which was found behind my chair. Since the girls were locked upstairs the entire time, this was for sure the handiwork of Franklin and Freddie. Some of the plastic was probably...
Freddie says: "'Twas not I upon whom thee did lay eyes traversing the kitchen's counter! For whilst thou accuse, mark now how I sitteth here appearing innocent, forsooth."

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."

It’s possible, and just a thought, that if he were competent at being president, there might be less reason for people to come after him. #ProudBlue #ReleaseTheFiles
Via drjessicaknurick: "What we found out today... could not be worse. RFK Jr. is only working with political appointees & his own people. He is not listening to or working with career scientists..." Call your representatives. RFK Jr. is endangering public health.
Beshear: If you walk down your street and look at six houses, at least one of them is going to belong to someone from a different political party. But you care about all of them. The challenge is to take that mindset from our own street and apply it to everyone we interact with
FABER: I wonder whether you're just targeting comedians who are offending the president BRENDAN CARR: Broadcast TV is different. If you have broadcast TV license, it comes with an obligation to serve the public interest.

The techbros are quietly putting in place the infrastructure needed to divert water to their projects. Imagine the control they have over us when we are beholden to them for clean water? WHY ARE STATES NOT RESISTING?
Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”
I decided to speak out during my self imposed break from social media to share this because what’s going on, this attack on free speech is an attack on all of us. BTC says it all , better than I ever could please watch and share thanks Foxy youtu.be/V2FnlKD70QE?...
of all the things I am not going to buy, this is the thing I am not going to buy the most
Peacock Butterfly (Aglais io): This species is native to temperate Asia and Europe, with a wingspan of 55mm (2.16in) and hibernates in trees or buildings during winter, it can use its eye-spots as an anti-predator deterrent. Beautiful photo of this Butterfly species taken by Ellena Bailey in the UK.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.
A very hard kick between the legs of the flesh orange buffoon.
holy fuck. what a degradation. I wish I was a pigeon.

Mayhem Ball thots: -Lady Gaga is one of the best to ever do it -thank god for no Chromatica -the visuals and staging were jaw dropping -the “for the locals” songs like Die With a Smile and Shallow do nothing for me -Born This Way, in these times, made me emotional.
Falling credit scores, Trump empowers Big Oil polluters, a court rejects Trump’s attempt to fire Lisa Cook, and we’re one signer away from forcing a vote to release the Epstein Files. Here are your weekly 3 bad things and 3 good things you need to know!
Carefully cultivated, they are gorgeous💕💕
Woo Hoo!
Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.
[Q]: You say Putin has let you down. Was it a mistake to invite him to Alaska? Do you regret it? President Trump: No. [Q]: And is it time to squeeze him, sir, and scare him, and impose sanctions? Trump: Yeah [nods].
There's always always a tweet

Carr: "There's a much bigger shakeup that's underway right now. Ever since President Trump won the election, it's created a permission structure for markets -- including the media market -- to rationalize. If you look at the ratings for late night TV, they've been in an absolute nosedive for years."
President Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, met with the British royal family at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, as demonstrators gathered in central London to protest his visit. nyti.ms/47JpgUM
GOP Sen. John Kennedy on the Epstein files: "Could the president be mentioned in them? Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised if he was because he and Epstein many years ago were friends."
Look at this dooood
Monarez: "Kennedy made another set of assertions associated with CDC that were particularly pointed and hurtful and disparaging ... he said that CDC employees were killing children and they don't care"
When public servants–judges and journalists and elected officials – are too afraid for their own safety or their family’s safety to stand up and do their jobs, we all suffer. Political violence is never acceptable.

As the folks at Fox News, a propaganda network, screamed for Matthew Dowd to get fired from MSNBC, no one cared after their co-worker Brian Kilmeade said homeless people should be murdered and offered a half-hearted apology four days later.

After the election that year, a friend asked me if I had heard the news, I responded with “Is he dead?”
