Just trying to hang in these trying times of an upside down world. Will we survive another 4 years of the orange Jim Jones? Will the kool-aid spill onto the ground or will even more drink it?

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1878: Emma Nutt becomes the first female telephone operator, an occupation that would soon be dominated by women. Alexander Graham Bell hired Nutt to work for the Boston Telephone Dispatch Co., where she spent her entire 35-year career. /1
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
That about sums it up.
Sign & share the @UltraViolet petition! Tell hospitals not to comply with the Trump administration's requests to hand over sensitive and personal information about minors seeking gender-affirming care. share.weareultraviolet.org/s/7JToQTJl
Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.
Wes Moore is NOT playing: I am the Commander in Chief of the National Guard. I will not authorize the Maryland National Guard to be activated. THIS is how you fight back.
In Portland today, a roaring crowd welcomed Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, signaling real momentum in his challenge to Susan Collins.
Who else is ready for cosy season? 🙋🏻♀️
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
Hard feels today…✌🏽💜✊
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
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
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Happy Labor Day! I can’t believe it’s September. We had no direct sunrise today but we had several pre-sunrise configurations, including this very nice display to the north. It’s a narrow vertical so definitely tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Difference between a husky and border collie... 👀😅🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky
Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
this guy built a city for cats..
You guys see where this is going? Right?
If you're not at the table you are on the menu‼️
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!

Fatality.
GOP Rep Chuck Edwards is confronted by infuriated constituents at his town hall.
Dean Cain got exactly what he wished for: he collected ICE’s sign-on bonus, was ‘injured,’ and is now out on disability.
Ahead of a Tate Britain exhibition of the photographer’s work, Antony Penrose says talking to the actress helped him to understand his mother’s volatile behaviour
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
I waited hours for this cloud to come near the lake #lightning strike reflection.
Trump is again threatening Chicago with a takeover on social media. We will again say those who trade liberty for the illusion of temporary safety deserve neither. We are not, and will not become, a military state. Remember freedom is something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you!
Are they actually sleeping on the job now? Spotted near a police station in the southeast. Washington, DC
This an incredibly sad FAFO story. But honestly, all these dumbass Trump-loving motherfuckers were warned. They just didn't think it would happen to them. 😳👇
Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.
the haters and losers will say it's foolish to indulge in wild speculation but you can't deny it's extremely funny that they have to write headlines like this
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
CHICAGO…
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
The Free State of Florida is now trying to ban *sidewalk chalking*
I almost wet muh pants. 😭
The Rev took attendance…
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
And, from Oklahoma! We are HUGE red here.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
we'll know it's for real when Fox News starts playing Lee Greenwood's rendition of "Swan Lake" on loop
Welch: This is a guy who has redecorated the oval Marie Antoinette style and is building himself a ballroom because he has no intention of leaving.
I’m so happy with how this turned out. It smells so good! #sourdoughsky

This is the way forward.

TEXAS: “Would I be required to carry my birth certificate to the restroom because I have short hair? Is there anything in it to protect people like me?” REP. ORR: “No. It protects biological females.” @jessicafortexas.bsky.social : “That’s what I am.” More: www.fox7austin.com/news/texas-h...
Just another reason to keep giving Netflix my money.
Wes Moore is following Gavin Newsom's playbook against Trump.
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
We dead.

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “If a Democratic president were doing any of these things you would be losing your mind.” 🎯
The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab.
A year ago today, Trump threatened to jail Zuckerberg for the rest of his life. Today, Trump is helping Meta win regulatory battles around the world. I wrote about everything that Zuckerberg has gotten from Trump 2.0 so far: www.platformer.news/trump-zucker...
catGPT, why won't you answer my query
Lovrafjorden, Norway Yes, I could. . . Easily, 😍
Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator. They aren’t actually trying to end this war.
“The incident took place after several migrants held there began shouting for ‘freedom’ after one received news a relative had died… A team of guards then rushed in and began beating individuals indiscriminately with batons, and fired teargas at them, the detainees said.”
It’s important to stay abreast of the news, to organize, and to resist what’s happening in all ways possible, but it’s equally important to preserve your sanity. Play with your pets, enjoy your families, work on hobbies. Pace yourselves. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Love to you all.💙
📧We sent a letter to eight Ohio sheriffs, warning that they lack the legal authority to hold ICE detainees in county jails, per a new opinion from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. Immigrants held without legal authority must be released immediately. www.wtrf.com/ohio/aclu-de...
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
I did that with my niece until she got the round brush, think the 90's, stuck in my hair.

Marvin Gaye Whats going on Still a song that resonates in today's world.

I diagnosed Robert Kennedy Jr. by looking at the TV. He suffers from stupidity, self-aggrandizement, body odor, and bloating due to eating of uncooked carcasses.
I think I'll go with the frozen goodness 🙋♀️
Neil Young quits Facebook and Instagram over Meta's use of chatbots with children 'Meta's use of chatbots with children is unconscionable,' Young's team shared in a statement. www.cbc.ca/music/neil-y...
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
THIS 👉🏾 What price are you willing to pay? “You’re letting masked men snatch girls’ parents off the streets.”
Art depicting “Sandwich Guy” now at the scene of the alleged misdemeanor.
This is just OBSCENE...................
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
My book is sold out on Amazon. That only ever happens for one reason. Wish it never had to exist at all.
National Guardner? National Park Service workers laid off, and now the National Guard is doing landscaping in DC. Felon Trump really turned soldiers into gardeners.
These latest attacks on the CDC are stupidity on steroids.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
They’re traumatizing kids.
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
The New Yorker…
“A dangerous crank — what on Earth are you on about??!” @chrislhayes.bsky.social goes in on RFK Jr. for claiming he can diagnose kids just by looking at them.
NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
Trump continues to tank our economy like it's one of his casinos. Markets are reacting after inflation data propelled by tariffs came in higher than expected, while consumer prices continue to rise. Jerome Powell also acknowledged labor market weakness. How is the Golden Age working for you?

I absolutely love the FEARLESS Dr. Peter Hotez!!!!!
