Oh, this makes me so sad.... 😪
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
😡😡😡
What could possibly go wrong.... ?
It is just wild to me that the largest facility used during Japanese internment will now be used to intern immigrants from ICE raids, people who are disappeared by masked officers off the streets, and there is still a debate about whether naming and shaming those doing it is fair.
May I recommend the "Dragon Riders of Pern"? And, to start with,"The White Dragon". en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonr...
The story of Rudy Giuliani's car wreck is some of the weirdest fan fiction I have ever read. Did Peggy Noonan write that accident report?
If you're not using "bloody" or "spanner" on a regular basis, you're good.
Yeah, I tried to engage. Kinda hard when replies are off.
Thaaat part
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
I'm sorry... (sending digital hugs...)
The proper (Southern) response to that is, "Well, bless your heart." Imbued with all of the sweet venom you can muster, followed by a sad sweet smile and a shake of the head...

If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
🤣🤣🤣
Gods, 60 years.... I'm feeling my age today...
It's lovely.... ❤️
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.

The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
I lived in Philly when First Union Bank bought the stadium there. It quickly became the "F.U. Center".... 🤣
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
Not sure it matters, but I support people being who they really are... did you think I wouldn't? Why, because I'm old?
Not only is the National Guard doing menial tasks like picking up garbage in DC Trump and Hegseth are screwing them out of their housing allowance and health insurance by putting them on 29 day orders They need 30 days for benefits Trump always screws people over. Even the military #ProudBlue
Why are you afraid...?

Cracker Barrel removed DEI and Pride from their website. I don't care about logos cause I don't look at them anyway, but I do care about erasing people.

Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
Or used in advertising....

Thank you, my friend. I am aware that another imposter is using/stealing my content and posting it on YouTube. Can I ask all of my Team Justice friends to please report the imposter YouTube channel that bears the name "Glenn Kirschner NBC." Thank you.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
REALITY CHECK: Under the U.S. Constitution, states are responsible for regulating elections, while Congress has the power to enact national election laws. The President does not have unilateral authority to impose new voting rules like nationwide voter ID requirements.
I'm more of a classic rock kind of gal.... 😉
We've tried having adult civersations for YEARS. But it's kind of hard when those you are trying to talk to are too busy calling you names to pay attention.
The company that makes Jack Daniels whiskey is moaning about the Canadian boycott resulting in a 62% sales drop. It should be 100%. Keep it up, Canada.

Just imagine how much better things would be in Alberta if we removed idiots from positions of authority instead of books from libraries.
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!

Domestic violence survivor & baker Sarah Guinther of Bow donates half of the proceeds from her company, Maddi Hatter Cookie Company, to domestic violence survivor support organizations. Her generosity & dedication to supporting other survivors is why I named her August’s Granite Stater of the Month.
It doesn't meet the logic test....
Pritzker out here giving a master class in countering the right wing propaganda machine’s efforts to justify further federal invasions and occupations of American cities: he’s effectively reframing the discussion (beyond debates re: crime rates) to one of rising authoritarianism & federal overreach.
Such actions like this are NEVER done by the good guys....
He's convinced he is "The Chosen One"...
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Yeah, man, totalitarianism is when people listen to experts. Good talk, always a pleasure to hear from you.
When you say “covid is over” or refer to the pandemic only in the pastense you make it easy for RFK jr to withhold the vaccines & defund clinics. You make it easy for employers to end paid sick days. When you don’t mask up you make it easy to pass bans. We organize but what you do & say matters too.
If journalists today had any backbone they would be emulating Molly’s fearless commitment to speaking truth to power.

Yes, and I’ve taught my kid and parents how to do the same! 🇨🇦
They will literally say **ANYTHING**.

Why can’t the National Media flood the zone with first hand reporting of the streets in down town Chicago Los Angeles NYC Boston etc and interview people show the shoppers the tourists the theater goers the sports attendees Go and show the nonsense that Trump is trying to portray Show it
I have spent some time this morning following all y'all back. I am humbled by the number of you who seem to value my opinions. I am not all wise...just common sense. As do you all. Be a mirror reflecting back, burning the stupidity away.

Rats jumping a sinking ship.
Crazy how some of the same people who think teenagers are too young to transition also think they are old enough to get married and have sex with adults
You know who benefits most from antivaccine conspiracy theories as national health policy? Our enemies.
Saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Rossiter, who told the stories of the many forgotten and underappreciated women of science. Like many women of her generation, she survived academia by developing a tough exterior, but her support for jr women, myself included, was unwavering. RIP, Margaret.
🤣🤣🤣
Who forgot to put into the constitution that a convicted felon cannot hold the office of the president?

I'm old enough to remember that a young person was murdered using a "stand your ground" or as Poilievre calls it a "stand on guard" law. That young person's name? Trayvon Martin. The Criminal Code of Canada is just fine. People ought to read it first. lois-laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-4...

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
RFK Jr: "We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Note: There is a type of disinformation where criticism is flipped back at critics, leading to increased public confusion.
It's kinda weird that nobody from the White House has said anything to squash the rumors. You know they've heard the buzz. Something is up.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders has called for a special Senate committee hearing on the CDC crisis, demanding that RFK Jr. testify under oath about the disaster he’s created.
I truly don’t understand the people who think teachers telling children how to run, hide, and fight during school shootings is normal but think a teacher acknowledging that someone has two moms or two dads is indoctrination.
I've been wondering about you! Glad you're back! ❤️
I guess the big thing I learned from this suspension is that I need to be more careful about the accounts I click on and/or choose to retweet. Unfortunately there are some really nefarious, creepy hackers who will take control of your account if you let your guard down. Be careful. I wasn't.
It's how it starts....
I realize it's been 5 years but how is it no one remembers the early days of the covid pandemic and how scared we were? I was waiting for medical doctors and epidemiologists to do their thing and save us. I welcomed the vaccine after I almost died. Does no one remember how bad it was?!
🤣🤣
@mcuban.bsky.social Elon Musk once said that he would donate $6 billion to eliminate world hunger if the UN would come up with a plan to do it. Within a month UNICEF had drawn up a plan. Elon Musk withdrew his offer. What this tells me is billionaires could end world hunger. Will you help?
