8/31/25: Massive music festival has erupted right yesterday in Washington D.C. against the Trump regime. Don't bother checking cable news... they're not showing it. Who's streets? Our streets!!
Cat lady, all things sci-fi, tech nerd, avid reader, introvert. I'm a supporter of the fediverse. And I'll do whatever I need to do to maintain my peace, serenity and sanity.

Prop 50 is about defending democracy. Republicans already stole seats in Texas without voters having any say. California is doing it differently: we get a one-time shot to fight back, then it reverts to our independent redistricting commission.
Not the morning walk you wanted š
Excellent display of truthful knowledge.
TO ALL VETERANS, PLEASE LISTEN. This combat veteran needs help getting to DC. He needs to protect my brothers in arms over there. Letās all help him get there. š«¶

Is there anything negative about Black men who fought for this country during segregation? They also tried to erase Black Medal of Honor recipients and Jackie Robinsonās military service. But we didnāt let it slide. Please follow me on Substack. substack.com/@cwebbonline...
A five-seat swing in the House could haveā¦ āKilled the Big Ugly Bill šŗPrevented public media funding cuts šµStopped ICE spending spree šReversed Trump tariffs Republicans know they canāt win on policy, so theyāve resorted to stealing seats. Thatās why we need to vote YES on Prop 50 on Nov. 4, 2025.
Wear a fucking mask people. Iām so sick of your ignorance. Itās willful. Get on the boat or youāre going to drown. And this is the last lifeboat. Thereās room for all, because itās an analogyā¦ but youāre really just drowning yourself if you donāt reach for the line weāve been throwing you.
I knew @governor.ca.gov would come through to protect her ,Thank You Governor
And he helped!
Was so glad to be a co-author on this important piece!
When you're drowning, you don't debate the ethics of grabbing a life raft. You just grab it. The GOP's gerrymandering is drowning our democracy. Prop 50 is our life raft. This isn't about being polite anymore. It's about survival. Vote YES. #yeson50
LFG!
Oh please.
There are a couple with >500. I checked the Mastodon servers list at mastodonservers.net/servers/top, and I found one with an 11,000 limit. here: infosec.exchange. Limit is higher because it runs on a 'glitch-soc' fork. I know that's still a third of FB's but it's a start.
Sitting Senator and partisan hack Joni Ernst has announced she won't seek reelection in 2026. Hope she's feeling ok, but then again, everybody dies.
I work for the CDC. You wonāt find a more professional, passionate, intelligent, dedicated group of hardworking people anywhere else in this country. What Trump & RFK Jr are intentionally doing to the organization will ultimately hurt ALL Americans. It needs to be prosecuted by The Hague.
I'm staying off Meta apps, so you having an account here on Bluesky with that content is a great alternative. If you could also please include Mastodon, that'd be a plus.

A bit farther ahead, it's increasingly looking like a rather extreme late-season ridge & heatwave event may develop over Pacific NW & British Columbia in about a week--with some degree of anomalous warmth extending across most of the West (including California). #CAwx #ORwx #WAwx

Woo Hoo!
I apologize the correct movie title is 'Rogue One', not 'Rebel One'! I wish we had post editing on Bsky...
It's an extremely well done Star War series, and prequel to the movie Rebel One. It tells the story of the early days of Cassian Andor (main character), the formation of the Rebel Alliance, and the ways the Empire obliterated personal freedoms and consolidated power. Check it out on Disney+.
THIS.

JFC. He's taking us back nearly 80 years.
SMITE!!!
That won't work for the MAGAts in my family, because they are too far down the rabbit hole. Trust me we've tried. There is no reasoning or suggestion that has been fruitful. The only way they will see the light and come back to reality is if really bad shit starts affecting them DIRECTLY.
No lies told here.
St. Louisā murder rate is a staggering 190% higher than Oaklandās. Do you think Fox will cover that?
Yep. Kamala was right about everything.
I'm happy to see the word 'patriot' being reclaimed. Now let's do 'take back America'.
California: Vote YES ā on prop 50! Extreme gerrymandering in states like Texas, North Carolina, and Florida is costing us seats in Congress. California has the power to level the playing field. Prop 50 is our tool to fight back and ensure our voices are heard in Congress. It's time to act.
This is worth listening to and sharing šš½
This is great to see!

California: Vote Yes ā on prop 50! Please submit your vote-by-mail ballot at your earliest convenience.

Let's be honest. The act of shipping someone off to a country that isn't their country of origin is human trafficking, not deportation.

I agree. This was compelling. I wish I still lived in NY. I'd go.
They're no longer using somewhat skintone-close concealer at this point; now it's just paint.
The fascist billionaire Republicans want you to believe resistance is useless. They want you to think nothing can change. But Kilmarās freedom is proof that awareness matters, solidarity matters, and fighting back works.
I'm happy to see you on the mend. Take good care of yourself. ā¤ļø

It'll be interesting to how the upcoming holiday shopping season will be impacted.

The truth is coming out about how truly bad the 'talks' in Alaska really were. Sheesh!
WTF. Why!? Trump half-billion-dollar civil fraud fine overturned by New York appeals court www.cnn.com/2025/08/21/p...
Let's face it," was ordinary people, Black churches, activists, and pissed-off shoppers who decided not to give their money to a company that spat on their values. They organized, they stayed loud, and they hit Target where it hurts." And it showed us ordinary people DO have power!
Kaboom!
Calling all democratic governors. Itās time.
Translation: ākill mail-in ballots so Democrats can never win again.ā This adds fuel to the idea that Trump is plotting a third term. Itās almost like he thinks Democrats will just roll over and play dead for this.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administrationās failures.
Important read...elected officials have lost the key priorities...
He's a smart man
High Resolution Models keying in on the potential for Monsoonal moisture reaching #SoCal Mts/Deserts by late in the week - High Pressure centered over the 4-Corners area (as shown by NAM Model) would be favorable for transporting moisture from the Southeast into the region. Worth keeping an eye on.
A new UC Riverside report sounds the alarm: brutal immigration enforcement is fueling a public health crisis for kids in mixed-status families. Detention, deportation & raids are leaving children, immigrant and US-born, traumatized w/anxiety, disrupted development, and fear of losing their parents.
During his second term, Trump has surrounded himself with groveling sycophants who tell him exactly what he wants to hear. Trump himself has always valued loyalty over integrity. It may be his undoing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-the-scumbag-in-chief-attracts

"Trumpās 'big wins' have turned out to be big negatives. His 'summit' looked more like Robert E. Leeās appearance at Appomattox. His D.C. and Texas bullying galvanized Democrats. And his economic agenda is gutting everyday Americans. It is...not a surprise that his approval rating sank to 38%..."
Immigrants are the backbone of Americaābuilding our cities, fueling our economy, and enriching our culture. While Republicans scapegoat them, immigrants are out here making this country stronger every day. The only thing dragging America down is the GOPās hate.
Seriously, where are these low prices?
At a time when we have a president who wants to halt Black progress, silence Black voices, and erase Black historyā¦ Iām thankful for this šš½
