love my great pyr, ravens, my partner, kids. love people who wander into my life and light it up with their quirks, gifts, and diverse ways of being human--straight, gay, whatever. Stupid, however, tries my soul. I probably won't respond to chats.

Update, including the name of the suspect. I may be rethinking my aversion to the death penalty. With the J6 terrorists' pardons, we need a permanent fix. apnews.com/article/minn...  Officials tell the AP they are searching for a 57-year-old man in shooting 2 Minnesota lawmakers

I actually used to feel some compassion for this completely dud dude. Now I only hope for justice: that he personally experience the hell he has unleashed on others, far superior beings to himself. Born loser: Inside Donald Trump's troubled life www.alternet.org/trump-is-a-l...

@padilla.senate.gov: "We’re a co-equal branch of government, our job is oversight and accountability... If there's an opportunity for me to ask a question in-person at a press conference in my home state, that's me doing my job."

The Supreme Court just expanded Trump's powers again — and Americans barely noticed www.alternet.org/supreme-cour...

These are unspeakably dark and horrific times. Going out today and standing with people who are demanding that this country become better than it is feels so small. But also, and crucially, it feels better than doing nothing.

Can you imagine taco even trying this?? Beached whale!

No Kings

Too much money in too few hands.

Jesus Fucking Christ. We've entered the next phase.

Posting pictures of Obama today: #ObamaAppreciationDay

I would like to start Obama appreciation day with a photo. There will be more…

#ProudBlue #RU #Pinks Each of us can make a difference by standing up against injustice. We can do the right thing even when it’s hard. Thank you to those who are at the protest today. You are on the right side of history. And thank you to those working behind the scenes, as well. #HeroesAndSheroes

YES!!!

FGS.. Head of Homeland Security (now an oxymoron) Kristi Noem gave the green light for political assassination in a speech on Thursday👇🏼👇🏼😳 Let’s not lose sight here in UK that Farage models himself on Trump.. Best we pray Reform never get a sniff of power and MSM stop the PR for them❗️🤷🏼‍♂️

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

I always find Joyce Vance's careful explication of current legal issues clear and helpful to people like myself (IANAL). Judge Breyer's Decision About Trump & The National Guard open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I will do whatever I can to chuck our disgusting Rep Jack Bergman (who apparently lives at a place in the UP with no septic system, no house, no toilet, no mailbox--just a metal storage shed) back to the mansion he really lives in Louisiana.

Thank you

I've happily worked and lived in what drumpf calls 'shithole countries.' We clearly are one now, by so many metrics.

I typically go offline for Shabbat & post this⬇️; this week I'll check in bc #NoKings, so tonight I'll say: May our rage fill us with purpose. May our fear inspire us to courage. May we carry each other & care for each other. May we build the justice that peace requires. Shabbat shalom ❤️

Tomorrow is such an important day. It will go down in history. We fight for what is right and don't tolerate tyranny. Take care of each other. Love one another. UNITED WE STAND AND PREVAIL.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” incudes a retroactive provision limiting federal judges' enforcement of contempt orders. That tips the balance of powers & erodes our Constitutional system of checks and balances. Tell the Senate to vote NO! on enforcement restrictions. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

It starts with reading to your kids, then reading with your kids. Bittersweet but proud moment when our son said he could read on his own at bedtime. And this is depressing: www.parents.com/gen-z-parent...

I run anti-repression trainings and I always emphasize these points. Especially the last one - we need communication protocols to inform each other when the cops come knocking. It shows mistrust and fear and isolation when we keep this from each other. Plus, there are many ways to do this safely.

DISTURBING: ICE in Las Vegas threw teenagers against a wall, handcuffed them, scraped up their faces, bruised their arms — just for looking “illegal” while they were on their way home from a birthday party. This is what cowardice looks like with a badge.

Post Obama Pictures instead!

June 14th Flood social media w/Obama pictures

Good morning. Happy Obama day! If marching in the No Kings protest let’s be the best pissed off version we can be. Smile, be happy, civil and be loud. Speech is free today. Use it wisely before it’s gone. Show them who we are. Before I head there, enjoy some pictures of my favorite president.

Happy 'No Kings Day' and don't forget to post your Obama pictures. ❤️

In the series: Obama pictures, on this: No Kings Day. President Barack Obama runs down the East Colonnade with Bo. Don't expect such pics with #47.

Don't forget! For those who can't march tomorrow, it will be Obama appreciation day, so you can flood Obama's pictures on the internet to give a huge middle finger to maga and their filthy leader. I'll start today. Children loved him. Children know.

Good morning Peeps! The pictures of President Obama making time for children always made me smile
