Scrolling refresher.. ..there is beauty..soak it up when you can.
Above average sentient being (on good days). I'm damn creative. Alarmed with the rise of authoritarianism and doing what I can. Currently reading The Chalice and The Blade by Riane Eisler. Enjoying BlueSky camaraderie & blocking suspicious followers.

Scrolling refresher.. ..there is beauty..soak it up when you can.
If I didn't know better I'd think this image was the cover of a science fiction comic book.
Exactly this 👆 His surrounding Project2025 madmen and NaziMiller are feeding him their agenda...sign here my Fuhrer, we've got Congress in our web.
Dare I say it? I do not disagree..Batty tweeter that you are!
If I say that I'm shaking my head it doesn't fully express my outrage. But, it does make me fight harder against tyranny and fascism.
You read my mind!!
We sure need this. Thanks to Bernie (of course.)
I'm of course pleased to see this. Netflix has made a smart move, I think.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Like a deadly virus, created in the lab of bad public policy at the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 has been let loose on our nation with impacts we are all just beginning to comprehend. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
As I speak across Missouri's 2nd Congressional District and the St. Louis area I keep hearing our fellow Americans expressing doubt and fear of what lies ahead. We have to push away defeatism. It’s nothing more than surrendering in advance. I refuse. You should too. Check out my new post!
True. Insanely true.
Well, I really hope someone shut him down with a smart reply to his contemptuous comment.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Angry voice: My health insurance premium (to exclude RX & Dental) has increased by $50.00 per month which equates to approx $600.00 extra per year! Thanks #AARP I'm sure Medicare will increase my payments..wait..no they won't because statistics on US economy are now altered to please #Dictator47
Do you all see what's going on? Call GOP representatives and tell them about their irresponsible vote for the BigBuckingBill. GOP is expecting their base to not apply 'common sense'. Meanwhile..our taxes are paying..what..? $1mill per day for this stunt. The stunt that is coming to a city near you.

FARM AID 40 ANNOUNCED! Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, but we’ve been given a limited number of seats that NYA members can get on Thursday, May 15th, from 10am to 6pm Central Time. Get more information at NeilYoungArchives.com! #NeilYoung #FarmAid
Spot on..as always.. Love that Neil Young.
I'm still laughing...This feeds my hippie soul.
And, let us not forget 'his' numerous references of being a dictator...on day one...or yesterday...or today, twice... #FightFascism
Ah..those cloud shapes reflected by the sunset..it's a grand photo. Thanks.
I had no idea of this tax break. It's disturbing of course but he's a malignant narcissist...so there you go...
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Where is that 'bloviating alert alarm' when you need it?
Well, he is evil. When I first heard him speak on TV, I knew. I absolutely knew he was a Nazi.
This
Ah! Good to know. ☮️
That's rich!
My thought for what it's worth is: if Trump had legit suffered a graze from a bullet and assasination attempt wouldn't he have reacted differently? I don't believe his raised fist was a normal reaction to a real attempt on his life.. IDK all facts, but follow up news sure faded quickly.
This is a great site for meal ideas! 👏👏
I can not clap (and laugh) loud enough about this. Cheers to more 'zeros'.
The neverending lies (to his peeps) which normalize...
This administration is throwing away money which clearly conflicts with their original phony and diabolical DOGE plan. WTH..they are stealing our tax monies in plain sight.
Yep. But he wants people to believe that he's smart, right? 😱
The article is within Rachel's post. Let it be a reminder of how we, too can show up with courage. There's something each and every one of us can do to resist the unbelievable actions being done by this administration. BTW, I AM an old, white, 'hippie' (which is more respectable than a Nazi). ☮️
👋 Andy, for months, I've been displaying my flag upside down as the recognized 'in distress' signal and I've no idea how many of my neighbors understand that or are aware of what's happening. Maybe my next step is a simple message on a sign-I'm still contemplating the message. .
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
An Al Jazeera journalist is among 15 Palestinians killed in an Israeli attack on the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. At least three other journalists were killed in the attack.
T shirt worthy!
"Here legally, engaged in a sanctioned process to determine their eligibility for asylum, they have committed no crime. They are arrested anyway, and the lives they’ve risked to come to the United States are thrown into chaos."
That's exactly what needs to happen. Applauding your message from the 'silver state'...
FYI. Also, Marc Elias is an excellent follow. Support his Democracy Docket and stay informed on all things legal.

(Excellent paintings and drawings, btw.)
Yes! From all the photos I've seen of Scotland it IS quite beautiful.

RFK Jr. vowed to investigate environmental causes of autism—then shut down the very research doing that work. Public health needs evidence-based science, not political showmanship. www.propublica.org/article/rfk-...
Each day, 'fascism' grows in our U.S. If you are not alarmed, you aren't paying attention. FOX/OAN = Gaslighting & misinformation & GOP lies Join a movement to fight this rapidly developing authoritarian coup. #Indivisible My golden years are now #FightFascism or lose our *freedom.
Other countries are so far ahead of the USA! #Nevada could definitely use wind and solar for generating power across our state and perhaps parts of #California too.
if you are outsourcing any kind of serious decision-making to a chatbot at this juncture - i think you have lost perspective on your own self worth & importantly, on how flawed the outputs are from these tools no matter what your prompts are.
Everyone should know who this man is and the work that he does relentlessly to fight for our rights.
Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc
The great Joni Mitchell!
Yes..thank you so very much @defendpublichealth.bsky.social and @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social I am grateful. #DoctorsKnow
Oh snap! Wishing YOU every success from Nevada, the 'we matter state'!
Well, thank you for responding to my question. (I hope your cows remain safe!)
😂
This is a great photo. If you don't mind my asking: Where was it taken?
Okay. I am stunned with this discovery. To be fair, I did not fact check this before reposting. It's been a long day.
Wishing you both every success.
This is a time in all of our lives that we just can not ignore. I wish it weren't this dire, but it is. With that said, do something and do it often. Don't pretend your actions don't matter. How will you live with yourself if you don't take action? If I can do it at my age, you can too.
I believe these *supposed ICE* agents have to be private militia or bounty hunters-I am convinced. Nothing about their actions and clothing suggests otherwise.
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
In my local paper: in Jackson, NH, a historic town hall moved to higher ground due to too much flooding; almost all of Vermont—Vermont—at “very high risk” for fire; off Cape Cod, a manatee, presumably confused by warmer water; &, Juneau, AK residents evacuate ahead of glacial ice dam failure.
Dear ones, Kindly remind your Republican representatives of this fact. That's your job today and it will only take a small amount of your time.
Let's share this everybody. She's right, you know. Jayne, you are a hero.
He's on a roll!
Today seems like the perfect day to say, Slava Ukraini.
Okay..vegans here ya go...and vegetarians, too! Of course, any carnivores are strongly urged to try one of these. 😘
Agree. This is what resistance can look like from any perch. Just say 'no'! Any form of resistance makes a difference.
I was there-although it has been 20+ years. I can confirm that this station is stunning in size and structure. It's really quite lovely. 'every success!
HUGE. The first major court victory involving conditions of confinement at ICE field offices. The judge bars detention in any cell which isn't: - Restricted by capacity - Has mats for people to sleep on overnight - Is cleaned 3 times a day - Provides hygiene supplies - Offers free legal calls

My reporting has come to the attention of Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney. Here’s the response I provided to the @thedailybeast.bsky.social
Be safe. ☮️
This is so true. Imagine..just imagine all of the 'good' these institutions or corporate billionaires could offer. The thought of what a better world we could have often brings me to tears. We all can do something at any level.
Good one.
Love to see it.
😂 Sharing this..good night ya'all.

Alarming. The list is within the article by ProPublica.

WORTHY OF LISTENING. PLEASE SHARE. HOPE is not lost.
This is much appreciated. Her insights are spot on and..hopeful, too. Thank you.
Thanks for this. His book sounds compelling.
Ya'all ought to consider Jim as a follow. He's knowledgeable.
Hey..we are all worried. Nevertheless, let's stay focused and positive. Let each one of us do something that matters like volunteering as a poll worker in your city, or get involved with 'Indivisible' as examples. Peace
Talarico could be such a mentor...Facts, kindness, attitude, civility..and did I mention 'facts'?!
I think you have a good idea. However, I don't know how that would come about, but brainstorming is a good thing and can bring out positive outcomes.
I didn't read anything that 'explained' the middle class category. Details are necessary in order to understand the full picture. Is there a paywall for details?
