I see what you did… lol. We walk our dogs in woody areas, and sometimes I find myself reciting pieces of poetry from my way back… “Whose woods these are” is a favorite mantra… another one is “Under the spreading chestnut tree, the village smithy stands…” I must be channeling the trees around me
The only bright side is after Trump finishes demolishing what he started, America might be up for some luxurious gay space communism. You know, making sure kids can get lunch at elementaryschool before they head to the mines coz child labor laws were repealed
You’re kidding yourself if you think it’s just Trump. He’s got the Heritage Foundation, white nationalists, and evangelicals behind him. He has all three branches of government. Checks and balances are holding on by a string, voter suppression will flourish, and Vance is ready to take the reins.
I think this is why I’ve been so numb. In 2016 I knew we’d lose Roe, but it was still a little abstract. I posted that I had hoped I would be proven wrong. Now I know I won’t be proven wrong and that sucks.
Hey George what do you think of this letter sent to VP Harris by some heavy hitters re voter discrepancies and asking for #RecountSwingStates because #TrumpCheatedAgain
I visited America in the late 90's. it was a positive place, full of good people, they had political opinions but not hatred. I won't ask what happened as sadly I see the same seeds being sown here in the UK. I only hope that for all of us reason prevails
Now you all have to learn what rebellion means. How to do it. What sabotage means and how to be apart of that.
This is not equal ground fighting. We are the losers and we are in the right.
Now you have to learn how to fight from that position.
My mom and I quoted this last night to each other. She said she had a lot of things to do before going to bed ~ I said: “Miles to go before I sleep”. And she remembered the rest. Her short term memory isn’t good, but she remembers Robert Frost.
Bluesky folks! Glad to be here and out of the toxic muck of X. Unlike just watching I want to be more active here and would appreciate a follow. Sane politics. Advertising writer. Husband. Madison co-creator. Cocker + cats. Somewhat funny, insightful. Occasionally both.
Ain’t that the truth!! So sad!! It sickens me to see how far we
Have sunk!!! But we must keep fighting to get back to where we want to be: a moral, compassionate, hard working democracy!!!
We need to actively/ use the DNC infrastructure to work together every day/ week not on a 2/4 year cycle we need to have weekly full page op-eds/ zoom meetings/ volunteer commitments podcasts etc….
We can’t just surrender till 2026!
We need work together all the time!
Nope. Still can't laugh about it. The feeling has only begun to return to my arms and legs, my sense of taste is still iffy. I am only slowly moving out of shock.
Musk/X is only succesfull because we let him!
Tesla is only succesfull because we let him!
Amazon/Bezos is only succesfull because we let him!
It´s time to activate the power of the consumer!
Even if it´s inconvenient!

Two paths diverged into the woods.
America took the psychopath.
But the Matt Gaetz news makes me want to weep.
Many people won't reskeet posts without it, because accessibility should be standard practice.
Thank you! 🥰

Those of us who are disoriented & dismayed by creeping Fascism, were ripped from Earth Prime in our sleep & ended up here.
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one that made no sense.
