wealth does not make you immune to psychological manipulation.
And, they want us to believe that Trump is familiar with Kant, let alone wax philosophical? The man who held the Bible upside down in his hand for a photo op. The man who only speaks in small few-syllables CAPITALIZED LETTERS. That man? Proof of life or the dude is a Dave.
She lives rent-free in their heads. And, I love her even more for it. BTW, I can tell when the British media is in a tizzy about our darling Princess when they start pushing more stories about the other princess (you know, the one who actually admitted in an interview to ensnaring William)
They got a standing ovation after the first game.
Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.
It’s in every thing.
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.
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA
I wish I had done more with it. 🌸 But, no, I wanted to be a mathematician. 🤪
Time. It’s going to take time for both of you. It won’t go away completely. I promise that there will come a day when the memory won’t lead to tears of grief, but instead sheer wonder at the huge impact, in such a short time, that such a beautiful creation had on our lives. 💕
US Taxpayers need to claw ALL that money back.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!
It is a total scam. wish people understood better how crypto works.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Ray Dalio, who analyzed the rise and fall of countries, postulated that China is set to rise as the next world leader. He also took a look at why USA is falling as a superpower - massive debt. Guess which USA administrations incurred said debt? Yes, Republicans.
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Anyone who has ever read scripture, especially the New Testament, knows this exactly. 'Faith without action' is meaningless. Faith is active, not passive. Faith incites (to take action, to protect our vulnerable, and to serve - one another.). Faith has never been about personal convenience.
Did you know that the real crime problem...the real violence problem is in red states, not blue states? Watch Governor Newsom school Trump & push back!
My mother taught me how to sew. I sewed/fashioned my own clothes up until I started graduate school. The last garment I custom-made was my wedding dress, the train for it, and the veil. The importance of fabric, construction, the lace applications, even the stitching - all that matters.
My dude. You are part of my tribe.
i wish brands would include more technical information in their product descriptions. i don't need to know this was inspired by timeless italian men summering in nantucket who could dress up or down. i want to know the fabric weight, leather tanning method, seam construction, etc.
If manifesting works, and global manifesting only increases the power of that manifesting, then by all means, let’s manifest away.
As Solnit says : the elections aren’t valentines to candidates they are chess moves
Such beautiful babies.
The party of fake ‘family values’ continues its streak with yet another conviction for one of its leaders.
The waves of grief come hard when they do. I am so sorry.😢
I am just starting to get to know your babies. 🐕🐕🐈🐈 My heart breaks for you. Hugs from Northern California. 🫂
Lots of right-wing charlatans getting rich off our tax dollars thanks to this administration. Taxation without representation in its most obscene form.
Now, ask how much of that is being funneled to his businesses and buddies?
Yes, it’s why we fighting the fights that need fighting. And, also, to keep fighting, we have to practice self-care.
Gaslighting and injustices and everything in between is that bad on your cognitive, emotional, and psychological health. And then, there is the somatic response which is equally worse (reflected through your physical body) - speaking from (the receiving end of that) 20 years experience
Time to change the law, perhaps?🤔
And, by you, I meant Maine. (Not you personally)
Why haven’t you recalled her? California has recalled elected officials before.
I don’t understand the headlines that they got into a confrontation. The headlines should all say “Townsend Moves To Third Round While Ostapenko Goes On Unhinged Rant After Loss”
There is a NOAA sea level map viewer for the 🇺🇸. And, if you go to the extreme case of 6-10ft (~1.8-3m), you get the same frightening views, especially in ‘island’ cities like New York. oceanservice.noaa.gov/hazards/seal...
Cool Map. Some of those predictions were astounding.
You don’t have to like Gavin Newsom And you don’t have to support him as the Democratic nominee in 2028 But-right now-with Trump threatening to become a dictator as our democracy precariously teeters on the edge of a precipice He’s one of the few Democrats who have offered a viable battle plan
You got this!! A couple of things that helped folks in my fam: - replace with non-alcoholic versions - if you feel you need a little extra help, try coaching and medical prescription (that intervene in how your brain processes alcohol) from a medical service like Ria Health.
“An extraordinary man is just an average woman.” This phrase flips the hierarchy and makes the point about double standards in how we value achievement. The bar for men is set so low that when they clear it, they’re celebrated. Women do the same, and more, every single day without applause.
The court jesters telling the ‘Emperor wearing No Clothes’ how fine and silky his clothes are.
Same thought this morning! ‘small’ government Republicans sure want to be in everyone’s business… …like a pestilence
Litigate… Let us know how we can help. This is horrific. Thanks for your courage professor.
With my middle kid, I screwed up by telling her that ‘Taylor series’ were easy. Like, this should not be the first thing out of your mouth to a kid clearly terrified of math.
My youngest is actually asking me for help on a math problem…. It’s pre-calculus and I’m hoping I don’t screw it up the way I did with my middle kid.
Blue States need to negotiate a deal with Canada for the current (2025) Covid-19 / Flu vaccines
It’s about hate and oppression.
Omg. You have to see ‘Nimona’ if you haven’t already. Very 🤘 🎸
past day has me convinced of this
Yeah, no.
During and after my divorce from a narcissist, after years of therapy for all of us, the only high school elective course I insisted my children take was Psychology. You have to know the signs of a Narcissistic and how Narcissistic abuse affects people.
When they were projecting the weaponization of government they were talking about themselves.
We all need some good news in the stew of gaslighting and normalization of evil.
QUARTERLY REMINDER: Never EVER talk to police—especially without a lawyer present. If you encounter cops who demand information other than what can be gleaned from your ID card, you are to clearly, calmly assert your right to counsel, then KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. I'm serious, folks. Especially now.
The analysis reveals that these actions are part of a broader strategic effort by the Trump administration to exert control over independent government bodies and neutralize perceived enemies through the state apparatus.
“Shaka, when the walls fell”
It’s the voices in his head. The ones he hears because he’s a lunatic.
And by the way, all those patents we filed and were granted - owned by the corporation and institutions. We get nothing for them either. That too has to change.
This guy should also be in prison.
We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸
California voters are leaning YES on the redistricting ballot. 48% in favor, only 32% opposed. People get it. The narrative is on our side. Remember: CA puts it to the voters. Texas skipped the people. Ours is a one-time fightback that returns to the commission. Texas’ gerrymandering is permanent.
Why not accuse the whole Trump cabinet of constitutional fraud. The accusations are very easy to prove as there have been numerous blatant attacks to subvert the constitution in the last 7 months. Republican senators are complicit in this fraud by confirming these nominees
Let’s see what this one’s all about! At first glance, the people who paid to send us this flyer to just want us to know how *very* concerned they are about “fairness” and “transparency” and not “undermining our democracy.” How thoughtful! (2/x)
🚨 Let’s revisit this weekend’s PSA because it’s another mail day today, and we’ve got MORE GOP PROPAGANDA! 🚨 New flyer below and another short 🧵👇🏼 (1/x)
The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the Black woman. The most neglected person in America is the Black woman. ~ Malcolm X
I am still fantasizing about how Newt Gingrich will answer for his attacks (and hypocrisy) on democracy. Is HE dead yet?
Here’s a fact: I would NEVER vote for someone because Hakeem Jeffries told me to. He has no sway with me at all. I would, however, consider voting for someone if Zohran Mamdani told me to. Because if he likes someone, that’s worth a look. I think Hakeem doesn’t fully grasp that shift.
Pritzker gets it.
This administration is as faithful to the rule of law as Trump has been to his wives.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like textbook abuser language? Basically, ‘You say you don’t want it, but you do’ and, ‘If I didn’t hit you, I’d be forced to hurt you in a different way. And nobody wants that, right?’
Thank you for your service outing these accounts. Easier to block. Now we just need BlueSky to do the same for that IP address spawning harass-bots at you.
Yeah, same thought — after posting. Sigh.
JOURNALISTS: You do not have to play along. The starting point of this reporting is that there’s no possible reality where Wes Moore said this. So the question is “Has Trump lost touch with reality? Is he impaired? Does he have dementia?”
You are very patient sir.
They are dragging Abrego Garcia all over the world because Donald's regime cannot accept the fact that they made a mistake. I hope Garcia ends up suing & winning millions of dollars from the government for this completely arbitrary & capricious abuse of power.

Love bugs bunny.
Not to derail us, but I was so mad that Biden wanted to focus on healing. You know what helps with the type of trauma we were all subjected to? Real consequences to the offenders. Therapy and restitution for everyone else.
we haven’t been watching TV much either. And Netflix needs to fix their buffering issues. A lot of YouTube snippets of our favorite comedians giving us respite against the whipping winds of lunacy.
💯
I agree. And, add ‘he thinks the same of women, POC, and LGBTQ.”
I was very optimistic after reading it. Unfortunately, we all still have to pay those awful federal taxes.
If it’s said, with the hint of sarcasm my aunts say it, it’s not cutting them any slack at all - in fact, it’s quite the opposite.
You don’t really think of AI as being bad for the environment After all, it’s only computers. How could that possibly be so bad But the truth is, it’s VERY harmful
Goodness, @netflix.com , I can get used to the new setup. However, it took 5 minutes to get a movie to play (swirling disk of wait wait wait) and when the movie finally started, audio was great but picture quality was garbage. 🗑️ Performance beats the UI in streaming.
Maybe we should be asking when does he tell the truth?
youtu.be/HtCte-99Sfo?... This intro makes it abundantly clear
@tribelaw.bsky.social brings it. " ... Gerken calls it “uncooperative federalism.” States don’t have to actively resist. They can simply refuse to help. And without state cooperation, much of the federal government’s agenda becomes unenforceable." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...
Yes, students still do this. I’ve seen simple read throughs, ‘musical’ interpretations, podcast-like commentary. It’s all quite magical to watch.
Agreed! And, really good teachers will always make their subject as fun and as interesting as it is to them.
Doggo was so pleased bringing me a baby rat. Alive. Maybe to thank me for a long walk followed by homemade banana bread.🤔 Anywho. After that excitement, had to wind down with hot chocolate and Sterling numbers.
Wow. Those are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!!!
I stand corrected. Just now. Baby rat? Still alive.
Earned enough grants. Thank you.
